I have no qualms about the first two selections... I would avoid buying the latter.

Its your money, buy what pleases you; your going to be driving and not any of us. Only you can make the judgement as to which car is best suited for your taste. My preference is with the first two.

What is important to you as far as features? Or level of comfort? Space? Aesthetics?

i swear i saw a G8 2 weeks ago. I'm in toronto, and it was a completely undisguised model, so i highly doubt that it was a test mule.

anyways

Performance: G8
Style: TL

The maxima is a decent car, but i don't know how to describe it.


To be honest, you chose the wrong place to ask this since everyone drives a TL and loves their TL.

Have you thought of any other cars?
3-series
C-class
G35
IS350?

I say TL, but then again this is an acura TL forum, so it might be just a little biased

All I know is that I would never buy another Pontiac after the one I used to own. Had many problems with it. But thats just me. Get what you want and not on what everyone else has.

I have owned a Maxima and obviously have a TL... The Maxima is very nice, powerful, but if you don't like the TL's torquesteer, you will hate the Max.. Also, if you like to have a comfortable ride, do not go with the SE, it feels like it has square tires... As far as Pontiac goes, I have had bad experiences with American cars....

You came to a TL Forum and asked this question?

I think you should get a Kia Rio

Oh.. That's not one of the choices.... In that case get the TL

This is my first acura and I can't wait until I own another. I'm sure I will have this baby for many years to come but from all the reviews I have read i'm sold on staying in the acura family for awhile. (Assuming their styling doesn't go to shit, lol) How many cars can you say will last 250-300k? Although I don't have experience from this I do believe the TL will hold up that long. As for a pontiac? well it's a product of GM and I my damn Envoy of 3 years is already having problems at 76K... I think an RDX might be in my future plans :o )

well there is that old saying:

"GM cars will run bad longer than any car will run at all"

And the Americans (namely GM) are really starting to turn around.

G8: RWD, available 360-something hp, 6-speed, 5 seats, sounds good to me.
