G35 or TL???

younghov85 · 05-31-2007, 03:54 AM

I am looking for a more reasonable car for longterm ownership and I cant decide on getting either:

-2004 Acura TL fully loaded with navigation or

-2006 G35 sedan with just the basic heated seats sunroof xenons

both are AT but the TL comes with an A-spec package.

TL

G35 ftw

Neither, you should have an option - "I don't care!!!"

504Boy · 05-31-2007, 10:20 AM

If you must, get the TL.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have read the thread or thought to post in it. C'mon show everyone you have a heart. You really do care, you may not want to admit it but you really do.

JOEVISTA · 05-31-2007, 11:03 AM

g35 if the miles are alot less

Correct! I do care, but not for G35 or TL.

OP, give us another option please...

iatacs19 · 05-31-2007, 11:45 AM

TL for reliability and nav!

cricketfan · 05-31-2007, 11:51 AM

TL

FotiosF90M5 · 05-31-2007, 11:55 AM

TL = FWD

G35 = RWD

The TL is better looking though.In the end I would go with the G35.

RokX · 05-31-2007, 12:01 PM

I would have to say the G35 between only those two.

ward · 05-31-2007, 01:03 PM

so you're going to sell your 1 year old E90 to buy a used car?

I was going to but I have decided to just go ahead and purchase the extended warranty for my 325i.
Yeah trading it in would not be financially smart.

just4kickz · 05-31-2007, 01:53 PM

both are reasonable cars... but i like the g35coupe more than either

haha

ALPINE6SPD · 06-01-2007, 06:40 PM

TL

A-spec package = $5k

Nyulak · 06-01-2007, 08:38 PM

AN equivalent suspension setup from Comptech will cost you less than the factory A-spec kit since you don't have to get the add-on 'aero' components. At least when I had my TL, the dealership stated they couldn't just sell me the suspension parts of the A-spec kit.
