not talking bout the newest gen., but the one before.. which is better? and did they come in MT?

 

You rang?

I has a 2006 TSX w/ Navi in Manual.

 

yeah, both are available in MT.

which is better? It depends on what you want.

The TSX is relatively compact, while the TL is in the next class up size-wise. The TSX is only offered with a 2.4L 4cyl, while the TL comes with a more powerful 6cyl. TSX's w/ 6spd MT will be easier to find than TL's w/ MT. I believe both have drive-by-wire throttles, which some complain about lag. The TSX is a little more nimble, but the TL isn't exactly a slouch.

It's like saying, "what's better, a civic or an accord?" Civic guys love their civics, accord guys love their accords. both have their specific benefits.

 

i would pick a tl over a tsx if i could afford either one.

 

owned an '06 TSX 6spd w/ navi. best car i ever had. the transmission tended to lag but like someone said its mostly due to the DBW. its not fast but its pretty nimble. i loved its size. definitely a lot more sporty than the current gen, which i think went in the wrong direction

i also have an '07 TL 5spd auto. only certain years had the manual transmission aside from the Type S. eh, i guess if you want a big ride the TL is a good choice. it was too big for my liking so i gave it to my mom

both cars are great but its more a matter of what your specific interests and tastes are. either way you cant go wrong

 

anything i should know about when buying a used one?

 

aside from the obvious stuff not really. both cars have rated pretty well as used. something even about the TL being top-ranked as a CPO vehicle. the quality of the previous gen TSXs especially after 05/06 makes them all a safe bet

TSX quality >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TL quality.
TSX six speed > TL auto
TL stick even non type S>>>>>>>>>>>>>TSX 6 speed

 

this sums it up nicely
