Hello y'all. I just picked up a 2008 TL-S on Saturday. I've been looking for something a bit more frugal on gas (compared to my 2006 MDX), but still fun to drive. I've always had a thing for the TL, and now I've got one! I was also looking at the new Accord, Camry, and G35 before settling on the TL-S. I wanted to hold out for the '09, but that front end could be hideous.

My CFO drives an '08 RX350, which is comfy, but not very exciting to drive.

My other hobbies include mixing formula, changing diapers, and reading picture books out loud. Our baby is almost 10 months, but already I want another. Before-Baby, I was into motorcycles (still am, albeit not quite as much) and fine dining and hanging out late with friends. Now, everyday involves car seats and baby food and sleeping early. But it is without a doubt the most satisfying experience I've felt so far.

Of course, no thread is complete without pictures.

The powertrain is very smooth so far. It transmits a lot more of the road noise and imperfections, but I'm coming from two SUVs and a minivan so I may be biased.

The TSX feels more energetic, but the TL-S feels more composed at any speed. Quite a vague response, no?

Is the cabin nice an quiet at highway speeds?

I keep reading comparison tests online and the TLS gets all the praise except for having "heavy feel" in the steering due to the FWD...

I dont think id care bc Ive been driving a 2000 Accord EX V6 for the past 5 years...before that I had all RWD cars though (CObra, WS6) ...Id rather have FWD bc of the weather here in NE PA and bc it would be my DD..

It's definitely hushed at highway speeds. I think the steering has a good heft to it. I'm very used to FWD cars, so it just feels right.
