My gf (and I) definately want the 6spd - better brakes = bonus.
So you guys are roughly at $80/fill-up?
Sorry for the jack, bob chan, but since you already got yours.....lol

lol 400-450 a tank in the city? i wish my car got that, it gets about 350km out of a 50L tank and it runs on 91 octane.. when i used to drive out to vancouver for school, i would get about 450km to a tank, so ya i guess thats mixed highway/city driving.

SLIGHTLY better than TL but not by much, i know cuz i was in the market for either of these two cars couple years ago.
TSX also requires premium, so i figured for a couple dollar more, you get much more power out of a TL by sacrificing some milleage here and there.
TSX lacks torque.....pulling tat heavy ass around.

The day we visited the dealership (Burrard) there was a private sale going on where we got the GST knocked off the car as well as a free HP netbook. The car is in super clean condition so we're happy with the purchase. The car is for my sister so performance etc. was not important, thus we didn't need the Type-S.
fliptuner:
No worries about the threadjack. We're happy with our purchase and good luck with yours. |

and when a car lacks torque you push it harder.
I had a 03 accord with the k24 160hp 4 cylinder I got the same mileage as my 99 accord j30 200hp v6.
It's really the way that you drive as well. If I don't accelerate as quick I squeeze 450 a tank.
Chances is in real life driving situation, with the traffic and what not a tsx would be quite similar to the tl in terms of gas mileage

This is exactly the reason why honda/acura or just about 95% of the car manufacturers have stopped making sports cars or rather fun to drive cars. OMGFGOFMGOFMGO FUEL MILEAGE IS IN TEH SHIT HOLE.
FUN, CHEAP, RELIABLE
PICK 2 not 3

I got '04, 5AT
i do the complete opposite to Acura604 (30% hwy, 70% city)
I'm looking at around 450km/tank (min 91octane)
'05 should have all the retarded flaws from the '04 ironed out, but still check for the following:
subwoofer rattle
moonroof liner sagging
fit and finish of plastic bits and pieces (ie: unusually big gaps)
but yeah, it's a very fun FWD full size sedan, can be extremely civilized, yet at the same time if you push on the pedal it gives you a decent push (or pull i should say)
CHECK OUT http://www.acurazine.com, or more specifically the 3G TL forum http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=93

I have an 05 Tl and the subwoofer rattle on the drivers side is driving me insane. Otherwise the pull on the steering wheel from a stop to go, if your heavy on the gas, can be a bit daunting. good car though
