TSX vs TL
I turned my car in on monday this week to get an A1 and replace my headliner. Turns out they messed up part of my seat, so they had to keep the car the whole week. Had to order a new part and all. Been driving the TSX around. Some things i compared to my TL:
1) Tires are much better. Michellin's. A lot less noise.
2) INterior blows ass. Looks like an accord with fake wood.
3) leather seems like pleather
4) Handling is GREAT! compared to the TL its a freakin slalom machine!
5) even with 200 hp u can tell its a 4 banger. Felt just like my Prelude except maybe a lil more low end torque.
6) Rattles here and there but im sure being a loaner, the cars been through a lot.
7) The side mirrors dont have the blue tint like the TL
8) Definitely not worth the 30k price. Its basically an accord with Xenon headlights. Everything else is basically the same as an accord.
9) has none of the lil functions such as "miles to empty", auto door lock, auto open door locks, stuff that like that
10) I like how the Trunk doesnt have a key hole but rather a button to push.
11) and again just to reiterate how great the handling is. Handles like a frekain beemer.

I noticed that the TSX handles better IMO. It's a nice car. I was cruisin' at 80 mph and barely felt it. But the amenities are definitely inferior, and the stereo sucks ass compared to the TL. But overall I liked it for a loaner, as I put about 400 miles on it.

IMHO, I don't think that tire is quieter than EL42. You have to put that tire into TL and test-drive it.
BTW, check out this... when most of ppl here said how TL is better than TSX, this is another opposite posting. http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...01&postcount=3 He got the TL loaner when his TSX was in service.
