Therefore, the TSX feels just as powerful as the 325Ci because it is. Similar HP and TQ. TSX is a good car if you prioritize luxury over sport. It's sporty enough, but not in the same level as say the 330 or the G35.
The 325i makes marginally more torque, but at a much lower RPM, therefore the odds are in the favor of the 325i. 6-cylinders will always produce more torque than a 4-cylinder, everything being equal.
The 330i and G35 were not TSX targets. That's 2004 TL league.
