2010 TL or TSX

What looks better in your opinion and would be a smarter buy?

I dont know if I should get a TSX or TL I do know the tsx is a 4 banger and the tl is v6 but that doesn't mean anything to me.

I like that the tl is a big car but then the tsx stanced looks very aggressive which I also like but just really stuck between the two models and dont know which to get.

I've always been a fan of the 1.5G TSX, especially with the 6MT.

I'm getting rid of my FA5 , 2007 civic si 6mt and would love to replace it with a stick shift car but main reason I'm trying to get a car is auto becusse I was recently in a car accident and unable to use my right arm for a while so need a automatic.

Twice in the last seventeen years I've had to deal with a broken leg; in the first instance I was non-weight bearing for six months, I refused to give up my stick shift so I arranged to borrow an automatic for the duration. The second time, less than a year ago, I arranged to work from home for the duration. I say this because I'm wondering if you can borrow or rent a car instead of giving up a manual transmission long term because of a short term (hopefully) issue.

It’s up to you. We can’t tell you what’s to pick.

if it was up to me I’d go 2010 TSX over the TL just for looks. Although, I would go 06-08 TSX over a 2010 TL or TSX. But again, you have to be the person to decide on that.

what's crazy is the 2 cars are selling for around the same price! The TSX will feel more nimble and tossable over the 4G TL; but the lack of power may not make it fun. If I was in your boat I'd get the car with the cheaper insurance

The TL has a timing belt, if it's original it's going to need to be replaced.

The TSX has a timing chain and is good for the life of the car.

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
