Sedans Acura TL Acura TL vs. Nissan Altima

You are in the Acura TL Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I am really torn between these 2. I drove both this morning and the Altima is more comfortable, but I'm an Acura loyalist. They are almost equal in performance with the Altima being about $7-$8k cheaper with the options I want (no navi), such as leather, satellite, etc. What am I missing. Car enthusiasts please tell me. I know all about the TL, but the Altima has features the TL doesn't, like CVT engine (fuel economy and efficiency), fold down seats, push button start, etc. Help!!!

Replying to: jeffatl (May 26, 2007 8:21 am) Yep, and so does the Camry, Hyundai and some GM cars less the CVT engine. "What am I missing." It's an Acura i.e. luxury or near luxury name plate vs. Nissan.

The seats sure aren't that comfortable (my only real gripe after driving Integras all this time). Consumer reports also mentions the comfort thing. |

Replying to: jd10013 (May 26, 2007 4:25 pm) Which Infiniti? The one for $12000 more? Or the G35 for $5000 more? I didn't think the G35 was close to threatening the TL's grasp on high quality interiors at a great price when I looked at it last fall. |
