I would not get the TSX underpower in the torque. I compaired my 06 TL to it and couldn't wait to get back into my 06 TL. I now own a 2007 TL Type-S and it is FAST!

Where do you live that you can drive so much faster than TSX can? The only such place I know is German autobahn...
Here in California, you may have a Ferrari and you still have to follow traffic or wait in line at the stop light.
Yes, TL may be faster but the maneuverability of TSX is better.

Not that I disagree with you but...wouldn't you also have to be on the German Autobahn to truly showcase the manueverability of the TSX over the TL?

have fun with your tl type-s. Nice looking car. I agree they are fast but I want to slow down so I have to avoid those cars. I have the tsx and it serves my purpose nicely. Almost bought the mazda-speed 6 since we had good luck with a 1991 mazda mx-6 GT (turbo) Now that was fast even after 200,000 miles with the original turbo, clutch, engine, etc.

Actually, no... it's all straight driving. I almost fell asleep on the Autobahn at 110mph. Fortunately, there was that constant buzzing of cars passing me at higher speeds.
For TSX/TL maneuverability test, CA Hwy 1 is much better. Remember scenes from the "Basic Instinct"?

Hwy 1 is very dangerous, Devil's Slide for one.

Sorry dude. I drove the 2007 Type-s TL. Yup, it's fast. But, it needs the power at the rear. I'd take the 335 or an older M3...07 g35 over the TL-Type S. Coming from a long time acura owner.

This FWD thing is way over blown. You only get torque steer if you gun it hard from a stand still, not a good idea for any car. You get no torque steer if you have an AT. Additionally, in snowy condtitons, FWD is better than RWD.

I just don't like TL or Tsx. No reason.
