Can I ask what you're having done that you still have the loaner car?

my husband had a sharp object on his belt which scratched up the back of the driver's seat. The dealer is replacing it for free, The seat cover that they got to replace mine was wrong so they had to re-order it-therefore-I still have the tl loaner-08 silver/eb with 1,000 miles on it. they are hoping to get it in tomorrow.

the dealer replaced my seat cover-they did get the right one-While they were replacing it they discovered the my heated seats did not work. Since I live in NC I never tried them. They ordered some parts.

Never tried the seat heaters?!? Even here in Fla, I use 'em sometimes. I use the passenger side heater to keep my take out warm, like a built-in sterno!!! 
Sounds like your dealer provides good service!

when i first drove the car in nov 06, i tried them. wanted to make sure everything worked. i am not into take out food so there is NO FOOD or SMOKING allowed in my car. the dealer is excellent but it is located in Pa and I live in NC. I am a former Pa resident so I still visit my family and friends there.

TL for family, TSX for single

I would say get a TL if you have a family with kids, and TSX if you are single or just married couple. TL is pretty large as a family car and TSX is more agile. TL starts at 33K and TSX starts at 28K, it all depends your need.

Since when do consumers make purchases based on need?

The TSX is nice and agile, but the little engine is a deal breaker. I had one as a loaner a few weeks ago and the little 4 banger plus an auto trans was awful. I don't like having to run an engine past 4500 rpm in my daily driving. The TL-S is almost perfect, it has enough torque to blast ahead of traffic and still keep the engine under 4500 rpm. The mileage I got was about 1 mpg better with the TSX despite a large difference in weight and engine size. If they had put a turbo in the TSX I might have bought one, it really handles and rides like a dream. Plus it feels small and agile, kinda like a go kart when going around turns. If it had some power it would be amazing.

I have to agree with you the tl-s has more power than the tsx- it also costs approx $10,000 more. I do not know how you drive but when I had a 08 TL as a loaner car a month ago I averaged 25-27MPG on the 500+ miles I put on the car. I average 32-35 MPG on my 06 TSX. (6spd). I personally think my tsx has enough power for me. I do mostly highway driving and have owned numerous vehicles with turbo. Looking forward to see what the 09's look like.

Just wondering what speed you were driving at in the tsx to run it past 4500rpm. I just came back from a 70 mile drive-60MPH-2500 rpm. You must like to drive FAST
