I might buy the NEW Acura TL
 

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?:helpme

I planned on buying a 330Ci....

and you get 270 horses in that pkg :thumbsup
did you test drive?

get a subaru wrx sti

i got one last week.. with apex kit. it's a nice car :thumbsup

yea the new acura looks nice :thumbsup

go for it!

I think he's going for Luxury - not a complete barebones, totally uncomfortable ride. :2 cents:

lol, I'm along your same exact line........... was thinkin 325ci but leaning now towards the TL.........its a slick, slick 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 :thumbsup

didn't test drive it yet.....but it is getting rave reviews from what i have seen.....and from what i have seen in person, and read, it seems to be a pretty sweet car

mine :thumbsup

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

gin.......what makes the apex kit around 45k....is there a bigger engine in it besides the ground effects and wheels?

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

lead foot lol

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.

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.

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.........

G35 coupe manual rating

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

I might not buy one

you gonna enjoy every moment riding TL

buy bmw z4
car kicks ass :thumbsup

sweet, i got an acura cl and i like it.

looks ugly to me, and doesnt have the usual bmw features

nice choice man, the bmw is overpriced

out of all the beemers this one they over done.

35-50k euro is not overpriced i think for such car:warning

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.
