Well, given the fact that the R is gone, I had to move on. I was considering replacing it with another right away, but figured I'd buy this instead, and then pickup an R in about a year or so. One all of you get obsesses with the new Evo, or Skyline, or etc. and the values drop some more. :-P

Figured this was the next best option if I wanted reliability, and something a little more grown up for now.

 

Nothing wrong with that.

 

I love the TL Type-S and I'm actually thinking of getting one soon

 

Love the TL-S. Doesn't that exhaust sound mean?

 

I love that car

 

The TL-S is at about the limit of what you can do with an Accord-sized car. 300 HP, six speed, Torsen axle and revised suspension...and it still handles strangely and has trouble putting the power down.

It's great...but it's at the limit of what you can do with that sized FF car!

Actually, compared to the R it sounds too quiet. I've caught myself forgetting to shitting and driving along at 5K RPM without noticing. I need something a little louder almost to remidn me when to shift!

Agreed. It is at the edge of what a car that size is able to do, especialyl considering it is front wheel drive. I wish it was AWD, but given my situation I was in no position to complain, or be picky.

I honestly felt like this would tide me over until I finish an MBA degree, have some more money, and can look at buying the new NSX when it comes out.

 

Excellent choice! It'd be on my list if I was shopping for a new car in that price range (i.e. if I could afford it ). They do sound great and look even better in person.

 

Looks good!

 

GOOD PICK!!!!

glad to see it wasnt another accord.

 

That's awesome, I was thinking of getting one of those in a year or two. Congrats!

 

Mmmmm... Beautiful car man. Definately a car I'd trade my Type-R for if I had to.

 

Very nice car. I have one myself

 

nice car. thinking about getting one also. didnt know it came with white interior though. would want to get it but scared it would get dirty quickly

 

very nice, especially the color...but i hate the new tl wheels, i like the five spokes better.
