Guys which one would you choose?? I just bought an 05 RSX-S, but I think I am going to trade it back in for one of the above! Not to sure what I would like. I always love the look of the MDX but I dont know if I can see me driving that all the time. The TSX is nice but having the RSX-S, now I realize that I might want a bigger engine. Now the TL looks great and has enough power for my needs, would like the A-spec version also. Also which one of the cars would have a better fuel economy?

So which one would you guys pic?? Any input of the cars would be great!!

TL hands down.

The TSX is nice and handles well, but like you said, it could use more power,

The MDX is a sweet truck, but the gas mileage won't be to good and why would you really need it in the city?

TL fits perfectly. Power, decent gas mileage, sweet interior, and good looks.

TL six speed. i wouldn't mind have the RSX-S though, lots of modding potential on that. TSX is a nice car for what it is, but its somewhat underpowered IMO (i sold mine).

Don't get the "A-spec" TL.............it's a waste of money.

Buy some rims and a bodykit and some lowering springs for thousands less.

Wait for Ron to come out with his kit(hot) vs. the A-Spec, if you get the TL.

VeeralS05

TSX with...

Comptech Headers, Icebox, Full Catback Exhaust, Sways, Springs, Struts.

Maybe Supercharger if you have the extra $$$

Just test drive them. I used to have an 03 CL-S but it was totaled earlier this year. I test drove many cars, including the 04 TL. Great car, but to me it felt too big. I wasn't even considering the TSX because I had it as a loaner and felt the engine was pathetic.
Then the salesman gave me a TSX for a 24hr test drive, go to work with it, etc. Ended up buying a TSX and getting used to the missing 60hp, but loving the kickass handling and 25+MPG I get on my mixed city/hwy commute.

Test drive the TL and TSX and make the decision yourself, simple as that. Just keep in mind they aren't competitors and not in the same playing field.
I don't know why you'd consider the MDX unless you need an SUV, in which case, just get the damn thing.

However if you want to save a few bucks go for the TSX. Minus some room and power its just as good.

Tl 6m

I drove a TSX for 10 days while the CLS was in @ the dealer getting the tranny replaced. Handles great but it was a real dog. Is there a turbo or sc available for it? Anyone know the weight distribution on the TSX?
Haven't driven the TL but if it handles anything like the CL then I'd get the TSX and slap some FI on it.

not much in the way of power gain to be had there.

X2 and the 6MT

If you crave power...get the TL

otherwise, the TSX will do just fine

My vote is for the TL.

Black CL-S 4-Life

TL for sure. I'd get one if was not for the fact I'm saving up for a house now...

CLASSYCLS

GOOD STUFF GUYS.....but what about a G35 coupe RWD??

How bad do you think it will be to travel in snow with that car??

mclarenf3387

You would need snow tires and some sandbags, but it shouldn't be to bad. Although my brothers BMW slides around in the snow a lot on all seasons where the CL on stockers can get up the front of my driveway which is a huge hill.

Yumcha

The G35 is a nice car...But, just something about its interior that I'm not a big fan of...I think the TL kills the Infiniti in that department...

NSX-Tuner

'05 TL 6MT. Also, have you considered the '05 RL?

TSX

CLASSYCLS

haha, yeah but to much $$ at the moment, I still want to save for a house!

einsatz

That's another reason why I bought the TSX over the TL. If I had gotten the TL, the payments would have been the same as for my CL-S. With the TSX they're $100 cheaper. And believe me, it adds up quickly.

BTW I bought a house 5 months after the CL-S got totaled

CLASSYCLS

yes I do realize that, that is why as of now I am leaning for the TSX. If I can keep the payments around the same area I might jump on it. I also do close to 1600 miles a month!!! SO gas is another thing that will cost a pretty

Sorry guys, I like Acura and all....but I have to say the G35 coupe! That is just one sweet piece of car.

Unless you want to go real nice and go with the RL.

I've driven my G35 6mt coupe through 6+ inches of snow with no problems. I have snow tires, of course...

The G will run circles around the TL or the TSX. A fantastic car. Love mine.

TSX 'R' US

A car with snow tires will outperform any car with all seasons in the snow...

Even a boat like the Chrysler 300 with snow tires will outperform a Subaru WRX with all-seasons (saw this in person)...

azian21485

waste of money eh...the aspec package's body kit was wind tunnel tested and used on the 25 hour enduro TL racecar..it is endeed functional...btw the car came in a surprising 3rd overall

NSX-Tuner

I wonder if anyone has ever roadraced prepared a 2003 CLS 6MT and did well in a race event. Certainly, the CLS 6MT would do just as well as this TL.

azian21485

any car can be made fast...depends on how organized/skilled you or your team is...lots of underdogs come up on top because of this...i'd give you a few examples but i'm sure no one cares...back on topic...coming into the competition this car was a sever underdog...new and untouched platform, heavy, wrong wheel drive, stock motor...there's a thread about the car in the motorsports forum..you should check it out

Minch00

But for a $5000 premium? You've got to be kidding me. And I wasn't arguing functionality, just the cost compared with the aftermarket.

Skip the MDX.

Keep the RSX and add boost. Either than or get the TL or TSX and add boost.
