Hi, I got a quick question I'm. Having a hard time deciding which model to go with between the tl or rl if its tl I'm think in 03 type s or 04 rl. Not sure they both have alot of customizable potential. Any insight guys??? (help)

 

03 TL's have the glass tranny, so i'd stay away from those.

 

I've heard that too. Once upon a time was told the rl tranny are strong

 

The TL is more sporty and the RL is more luxurious. It depends what you want out of the car.

 

Id say go for the RL

 

I've owned both before. An '02 RL and a '03 TL.

The RL would be more reliable and more luxurious. Far quieter, better highway ride, tracks straight. Better stereo too. 10 speakers, better amplifier plus XM.

The TL will give you much better highway mileage, 30+ vs 24 and less understeer.

 

There was no Type S in 2003. I'd go with an RL even though I love my TL. There is limited mod potential for either but more for the TL.

 

There was definitely a Type S in 2003

 

Thx,guys I'll post some picks when I pick up the rl. And I was pretty sure they made a type s tl in 03

 

As Ken indicated, there was a 3.2TL Type S during the 2003 model year.

I look forward to seeing pics of the RL.

 

The TL did come with a type s in 02 and 03.... i should know

anyways, the RL was a good choice. boss car

 

Could you save a bit more for an 04 TL? Reworked everything, better body style than both... I dont think the price would be a huge difference. 8 speakers, navi, 270 horse, way better looking.

 

Read twice, answer once.
Sorry, I was thinking about 2004, first year of 3G.

 

LEGEND.

 

Neither?

 

The rl is nice but i didn't always enjoy 20 mpg on premium. The champagne color made it look a bit dated too.
Besides that they are generally bulletproof. We had a 2000 and 2003 and i never regretted either purchase.

 

I generally agree with that statement.

 

I hear TL = Top of the Line..
