newbie: buying soon!

i havent made up my mind but im researching on here. 05+ TSX or an 05 TL... trying to decide which to buy. obvious the least 'problematic' i know they all have their quirks. my budget is roughly $25-$27K, $400 a month (im in Charlotte, NC). any info would be greatly appreciated, opinions and things to look for when buying.

Thanks so much and i look fowarrd to learning about my 'future' Acura with all of you!

imho- you could easily get into either one of these great cars at that price point.

The main things here are getting what really suits you and what you'll enjoy more. I say go test drive both and see what feels more like what you need and from there start the negotiating process. Im sure you shouldnt have a problem getting either car at around that price range.

One of the best things about getting the Nav is that you won't be amongst the 10's of 1000's who didn't that have been banging their heads into the wall wishing they had gotten it. In your search, you'll find the vast majority of '04 TL's for sale are non-nav units. Want to wonder why?

I really like navi. If you want that, I'd say get a tsx with navi over tl without. save on fuel too.

Unfortunately, there's not that much of a difference in the gas mileage between the TL and the TSX although there should be.

true, but only in city driving i believe

If you can find and afford one I would go with the TL hands down.
