This is one of those discussion where there will be no winners. It is all a matter or personal preferences, almost like trying to debate which color is the best.

I will take the stand as a defender and say that it perfect for this car. Maybe Acura will find a way to make to better in the next version, but this should not be a shop stopper for buying the car.

Yeah, my 3G TL had a lot of squeaky, rattly pieces on the dash and door panels, and they all made themselves known on a bumpy road.

It was well-known and well-accepted that the 3G TL was going to rattle and squeak. Check the archives of this very site!

obviously the 3G has been around for 10 years. technology wise is kind of outdated. But if you compare the RDX (similar to the TL) and TLX interior material and you will find a clear winner.

Not that it matter but why are you comparing the RDX to the TLX? What is clear is that you don't like the TLX and find it an inferior product. Can we move on?

Not sure what your point is, but the RDX I had ('13 Tech Pkg) had a pretty spartan interior. There was a door grab handle on the passenger side, but none on the driver's side and there were no rear A/C vents. The rest of it was pretty plain jane. Not bad, but just plain.

You're funny. Reverting to that silly BS line is tiresome, at best. You are stating your opinion, yes, but calling them facts.. until now, you call them your opinions, when it suits you!

Critizixe the TLX all you want. But making silly comparo's... Calling you out for your silliness is far from being "sensitive" Nice try though

I went to the dealer over the weekend to test drive both the I4 and the V6 again. I thought i was biased and should give the TLX another chance. I tried to be very objective and listened to all the new features of the TLX. Overall, the I4 drives better and less noticeable jerkiness. However, i am still not impress with the interior quality and thought Acura could do better since it's a "luxury" car.

I think acura makes a point to call it a "premium" car and not a "luxury" car...

but on topic, am I really the only guy here who thinks you can get more front legroom in the TLX than the TSX through adjustment. At 6'3, my legs are due for a stretch after about an hour and a half in my SO's TSX. The passenger seat is even worse because it doesn't tilt. Granted I only drove the TLX for 20 minutes or so, but there did seem to be more front legroom in it than a TSX
