Suck it up, 'cause it'll cost you a mint to switch. This is what test drives are for you know.

shouldn't have gone past 3 days. During the 1st 3 days all the power is in your hands. You could've taken the car back and told them you wanted a TL and they would be forced to take it... but after that - ball's in their court. Either fork up the cash, buy a used one, trade, or suck it up. You should have asked for an EXTENDED test drive... Hope everything works out in your favor, though.

It can't hurt to ask about switching lease for a TL. Presumably the lease company would make more money over life of the lease, but the TSX is depreciated somewhat. Contact your salesperson ASAP to check!
G/L!

Why did it take you 6 days to figure this out?

Just suck it up and hold on to the TSX. the TSX is a very decent and reliable car. Some decent mods will make it even better.

I'd say keep the TSX, more mods available for it. Then you can do this...

Its hard as hell to pay for something for dont want. So I suggest do it quick cause sooner or later you will leave the TSX.

I like the way the TSX looks but I dont like the TSX on a whole(hmm does that even make sense?) I had one as a loaner, while quality and build is good, it just felt like a decked out civic to me. And man I could immediately feel the power difference between the TL and TSX. I held on to it for 2 days, and the lack of power was just getting irritating after a while.

The suggestions would be kinda biased dont you think? You're posting this on the TL Forums? Try to see what the TSXers have to say I'm sure they got some goodies to convince you to stick with your first decision. I love my TL Decked out civic? TL=decked out Accord

Yeah, it's kinda getting stuck married to a woman you don't even like. It's probably hard making payments on it since you don't want it. I would suggest making the move quick, depreciation is your enemy.

Should give them a call ASAP like others have said if you want a better chance at swapping the car. Good luck.

I don't think anyone is specifically anti TSX. I'm sure if one had a TL and was considering switching to a TSX and posted his/her question in the TSX board, he/she would garner similar posts.

I had a TSX as a loaner the other day and I have to say that it's a peppy little bugger. It's more responsive in city driving than the TL. However the difference is in the power. When trying to merge onto the notorious TX highways I sure missed my 258 horses. I think if one is younger and not much of a highway driver the TSX is a great car but if one desires more luxury and power then you gotta go for the TL.
