2nd gen yes, not 3rd

caball88

not really its too ricey for me now, if i was 18 again maybe. well since your 20 maybe you might enjoy the STI more.

Well that depends on what you want from the car. If speed+handling then STI...If everything else+decent power/handling then TL. Personally I bought TL because it was a more practical car.

Completely different category of car. I dunno if I would say trade up. The STI is a race inspired sports car where as the TL is a luxury sport sedan. A couple things to take note of. Subaru Service sucks ass. If you mod the car you will have no warranty period. They are known for warranty denial. I speak from experience being a previous owner of a WRX. Also with all the morons driving them and wrecking them because they think AWD makes them invincible your insurance is surely going to go up from what it is currently on the TL.

Ultimately it's your decision. Just adding my

dtpjigzer

thanks for all your inputs! i just got back from the subaru dealer. and yes "JDM" you are correct, their service sucks! i had the first salesman come up to me not knowing shit about the car. all the answers to the questions i asked were " I DUNNO". I knew more of the car than the salesman did. 2nd salesman, same thing happened. this timei was demonstrating the car the to salesman instead of him demonstrating it to me! and then when i asked to test drive the sti, they told me, no you can't test drive it until u buy it. "I WAS LIKE WTF". den i said to the salesman: "would you buy a pair of shoes without trying them on?" he answered no, and i was like EXACTLY. I wouldnt buy a car until i test drive it. i know the salesman felt embarassed and stupid!! hahahaha so then i left!

back to the car topic. i checked out the car, sat in it compared it to my tl. and i dont think im going to be gettin the sti. its too compact and everything looks so PLAIN. and the craftsman ship on it is horrible. oh well! sorry its so long fellas!

JDM5lugHatch

I wouldn't say the craftsmanship on the car is horrible at all. I think the craftsmanship on my TL is worse than the subaru as far as paint /exterior. When I meant service I also meant actual service/warranty dept.. Oh well.

do what you want. it's not really what we think. we got this car because we love it so it's pretty hard for us to part with it. if you want to get it and you'll have 2 fun cars to drive

DiscoTL

The STi is plain because it is a race car. First model years had no radio, still no sunroof. All for weight savings.

mio

I'd rather to keep the Tl...

The Sti is more of a trade over, not a trade up. If you're looking for pure performance, then go for it. If you want a mix of something that's fun to drive daily, and still pretty fast, then the Sti is not for you.

Good luck with your decision. You should also cross shop the Evo with the STi, by the way. Mitsubishi has a much better rep for service and customer relationships.

crazymjb

Lancer EVO is better for the Price. Completely different type of car. I would hardly call it luxury. I think its kinda unnecasary unless you are doing some serious street racing. It may be a little more fun to drive but Id go with the TL any day. If you want power so bad add NOS or something.

dtpjigzer

thanks yall! but i think im going to be keeping my tl and hope comptech comes out wit the damn charger already!

scrb09

Simple and Plain 2 Words, HELL NO!!

My 2 Cents

castre

At this point… I think I am willing to trade this piece of junk for anything that doesn’t have rattles and driveline vibrations. I’d even trade it for 2 dodge Neons. I think TL is over-rated, and experts gave inaccurate reviews. So in general, Acura is a joke…

JOES05tl

Caster-YOUR CRAZY. if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all And good luck with them neons?

EnigmaofTL

This is proof that you're a lying moron. And no, you don't own a TL. If Acura is a joke, then Dodge must be the king of all comedians.

JDM5lugHatch

the SRT-4 is fastAr

apwalsh

True, the SRT-4 is faster, but it's still a Neon. You can put purfume on dog shit and it doesn't make it a lady.

iLL TL

IMO i'd get the evo MR edition... now that is one gorgeous car... after our TL of course

JDM5lugHatch

inside joke on another forum.
