Last year test drove the TSX 4 times without salesman, test drove TL one time.
Got the TL.
My problem with the TSX auto was lack of power, otherwise very nice car.
The 09 TSX may have somewhat resolved that problem with different
trans and engine tuneing, you will have to test drive and see if the TSX
has say enough power where you feel safe on freeway on ramps.

Yes, the TL is going to have more power right off the bat, but once the TSX 4cyl is more broken in, you simply notice a difference in its power, but sometimes thats not enough for some.

So your saying its no issue at all? I'm taking my TL in this Fri for service guess i'll find out then if there is a issue or not. Can you send me a link or more info if you know of any on this. Kind of dissapointed did not expect an acura with its rep. to be like this.

#94 of 97 2008 TL Engine by lsupinoy

Im a new 2008 TL owner. Im not sure if this was mentioned previously in this forum. Does anyone else feel the engine have slight pull when slowing down after 20mph or so? When I let off the gas and let it cruise, it feels like the engine pulls a bit. Is this a transmission problem? Open to all suggestions.

Not sure what you mean by engine pull, if you mean engine brakeing
that is normal, Old Mike

From my 08 TL's manual: "When the indicator comes on, there is about 2.3 U.S. gal...of fuel remaining in the tank before the needle reaches E. There is a small reserve of fuel remaining in the tank when the needle does reach E."
 
So that means that there is more than 2.3 gallons left
 
My "low fuel" indicator came on, and I drove about 20 miles before filling up. I put 13.6 gallons in the tank, so it looks like there's at least 3.5 gallons left after the warning message comes on.
 
Nevertheless, I've read somewhere that this sort of engine can be seriously damaged if it runs out of fuel, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
