I might buy the NEW Acura TL - GoFuckYourself.com

TekayRoyal · 04-21-2004, 10:31 PM

is there a better car to spend $36,000 w/navi.....I haven't found something better fully loaded for this price....the 3 series doesn't even come close to the options for this price, and everything else doesn't seem to catch my interest.......am i missing something?

I planned on buying a 330Ci....

I think he's going for Luxury - not a complete barebones, totally uncomfortable ride.

FF!

Who cares about horsepower, how does it handle? There are a ton of cars that have more power than BMW's but you will be hard pressed to find any that handle on par or better.

Good safety record, good luxury package, sure you get less bang for the buck, but overall quality I think is much higher.

Sorry about the rant, just a satisfied BMW owner

we ARE comparing a FWD car vs. a RWD car.........i totally agree with you that a BMW is a quality ride.....but for 10k less, and for how much you are getting for that, I just find that the acura might be a better overall deal

i don't think there's a bigger engine.. it makes it handle i can go sideways off the curb and the car won't even really tilt.. but the car doesn't need anymore power.. shit halls ass... cars at stop lights are barely moving while im almost at the next light.

how do the 18s feel on that thing....i plan on upgrading the wheels(stock 17s) if i get one.....but what scares me is bending them up on potholes

I have a '03 TL and I love it. Great power for the get up and go and it handles awesome. Have had no problems with it at all since buying it over a year ago. I opted to not get the navigation.

fastest smothest ride i've ever drove.. i had the 2004 rsx for few months before the tl... tl drives SOOOOOOOO much better. rsx is shit compared to the tl.

bobosoft · 04-21-2004, 11:12 PM

Check out the Infiniti G35, I have one, its great. You can get it with Nav for 36k. It handles great. If you get the sedan you can get a really good all wheel drive system.

TekayRoyal · 04-21-2004, 11:21 PM

it's too bad that the G35 coupe doesn't hold up to par as i thought.....I loved this car at first until I read up on it.........

hottoddy · 04-21-2004, 11:49 PM

I think the redesigned TL is awesome. The only real problem I hear is torque steer b/c all that power is going straight to the front wheels - but that's only going to be an issue in extreme situations. It's a fantastic car for the price.

to be expected in a FWD car.....other than that, I don't see any faults with it

Krille · 04-21-2004, 11:51 PM

I might not buy one

The acura TL is a nice car and it might be a better buy but you should'nt make your desicion based on what one web site says. Car and Driver says the G35 is the best sport coupe on the road.

Here is their comparison between the TL and the G35
