I had a little over 4500 miles on the fit.. Plus i was able to return my extended warranty there telling me i might get about 95 % of the money i invested on the extended warranty on the fit credited back to me.. To top it off they even help me remove my HIDs I added on there as well as the intake.

I left the springs. They offer to give me the springs back if whoever they sell the car to decides they didnt want the springs..

You do know Acura is doing major face lift/Hp gain for
2007 TL ???

Just checking.

I would have kept the Fit as a second car.
Why not have both?

for some reason the TL doesn't appeal to me. Hmmmmm......... someone hit me on the head pls!

And i know it's a Nissan/Infiniti but i'd rather get a G35X sedan.

I don't see the appeal of the TL at all - what is the point of a 4-cyl that gets such bad fuel mileage :rolleyes: . We all know Honda can do much better - look at the Accord.

I would not feel right driving such a vehicle. Of course it is much better than an SUV. ;)

I think he confused the TSX with the TL.

OOps - I did confuse the TSX. I think the TL gets about the same mpg with the V-6 as the TSX with the 4, plus the TL has a lot more room. The TSX has less room than the Fit in many ways.

Speaking of cars I don't get. The new SUV from Acura really has me stumped. 24 mpg with a 4-cyl, when a car like the TL gets 29 with a powerful V-6. If they only made a wagon version of the TL (or Accord, or Civic) it would have as much (or more room) than that thing with more power and better mpg. Especially if they made the wagon as space efficient as the Fit.

TL 20/29 mpg 3483 lbs front wheel drive.

RDX 20/29 mpg 3924 lbs AWD.

It's 441 lbs heavier and it's AWD.

I agree about the TSX but not on the RDX.

Actually the RDX gets 19/23 mpg (at least on the Acura web site). That is a lot of gas for a 4-cyl - especially when a RAV 4 gets 21/28 with a 270hp 3.5 liter V-6.

I know the Acura probably handles better - just talking about efficiency, or lack thereof.

Not trying to highjack the thread - the TL is a nice vehicle. I like that they make a stick shift available.
