I've been mulling over TL's and TSX's for about a year now. I've test driven about a dozen of each. I'd take either. I love the handling of the TSX but love the balls the TL has (no homo). Also, anyone here ever purchased a car through eBay? Any tips? It's difficult to find any sort of selection of manual TL's and TSX's locally so I've resorted to eBay though I'm a little reluctant to purchase a car I haven't driven.

 

no s2k?

 

This!



To be honest, I've been using cars.com to shop for cars in the states - more selection than eBay, prices seem realistic and it is mostly dealers. That being said... I haven't driven a TL - just a TSX, so I'm not qualified to make that decision... lots on here can though.

 

I would be all up on the TL. It's the Navi model and the body style that I want (wish I could have bought Jay's from him). Though my ultimate TL is the type-s.

 

if everything checks out between the two, i'd go the TL

 

I haven't driven a TL, but I'm inclined to go with tsx: lower miles, most reliable honda out there. V6 and a stick might be pretty fun though. :hsdunno:

 

i want that tsx.

 

I'd love an S2K but this would be my DD. Since I live in Utah FWD is a must with the snow.

I'd love a type-S as well but it's out of my price range.

Oh, it is. The best part is having plenty of power/torque in nearly every gear depending on speed. Whereas with the TSX, you have to be much more picky in selecting gears if you want the power. There's much less torque at anything below about 3000 RPM. The TSX is much more nimble and light though. Weight is more evenly distributed and roll is much less noticeable than the TL with a big heavy V6 sitting in the front. I'm leaning toward the TSX for this reason alone. Moving up from 150hp in the Accord to 200hp is plenty of a jump for me. But dang, the TL is sweet.

 

BS on fwd a must in snow although i agree a s2k is NOT a good idea as dd in winter h:

and i vote TL, too bad it's not type-s tho

 

Makes sense... i might be confused cause i thought you were actually looking for one. Maybe i mixed you up with another member h:
