TL or RDX

Howdy, I am trying to decide which of two vehicles to purchase and I am torn. I wanted to get some opinions from some Acura folks.

Car 1: '07 RDX Tech package with 93,700 miles on it.

Car 2: '06 TL w/nav with 65,000 miles on it.

Both cars are in good condition and would cost about the same monthly when figuring the extra cost of fuel in the RDX.

I keep going back and forth but I was wondering if someone with a different perspective could come up with a reason to choose one or the other.

Many thanks,
Pizza

Get the TL. Better gas mileage, lower miles, and cooler car.

I loved my 05 TL and the RDX loaners I had were chick car like and kind of bring. That being said, I would pick the RDX based solely on the 3G forums.

It's hard to beat a 3G TL.

I've driven both, unless you need the SUV-ness of the RDX I think the TL would be the better choice imo.

I'd choose the TL. Fewer miles, more fun driving experience, better mileage. 3G TL all day long.

I drove both and in your case i would strongly recommend the TL: Better looking, has a lot of great options and a lot lower miles.

TL or look into a CR-V. It should be cheaper than the RDX and fuel cost-wise, you'll be paying for unleaded, not premium.

Thanks for the input everyone. I have decided to go with the TL. This is my first Acura so I am excited to try the brand out.

Below is the vehicle I am getting.

Thanks again!

Good choice OP! 3G TL FTW. It's a great car and you'll enjoy it. Take it from someone who owned one.

You'll love the 3G. That thing looks like glass...check out the wash and wax forum to keep the swirls away!
