2) It is severely lacking in the braking department. I feel a lot of times that if I had to mash the pedal, I'd be in for whatever I was trying to avoid. Maybe that's just the feeling it give me, but 60-0 braking is less than desirable. This also may be a result of driving the GSR for so long.
). Too much warping and too little stopping power. After my 3rd Honda it's pretty much a given that the rotors and pads will need replacing with aftermarket. Brembo blanks and Hawk pads have worked wonders. It doesn't suprise me to hear the same thing from the TSX.

I had a TSX for a week and I liked it a lot. if you go with the TL, shoot for the TL-S. Hands down better in all ways than the TSX. TSX was built in Japan so yes, build quality is better. As for the size, yes. the TL is bigger and it feels bigger, but I think that's part of it's appeal.
If you're looking for a smaller sportier car, the TSX hands down. If you're looking for a sporty sedan, TL.
FYI, buy the newest car you can.
PS, the braking power of the TL was PHENOMENAL. Never any fade, even with a couple hard runs in the canyons. (100+ to 10mph continuously)

That's the problem with stopping...or hanging on in a corner...
