Default Which is better??....2003 TL Type S OR 2003 G35 sedan......

both with auto tranny. i'm guessing they will cost about the same....G35 maybe a $1000-$2000 more.

which should be faster? (anyone have 0-60 times?)
which should handle better?
which is the best overall?

any other input?

thanks.

Cheap interior
Faulty Tranny
Cheap paint job

G35, no contest (except for *maybe* acceleration, the Type-S isn't that slow and could be even).

Default I guess I'm biased, cause of my dad's TL type S... but I love that car.

The paint is great. The tranny is fine. The interrior is good quality.

Power is very nice. It handles well. It's reasonably priced. And it gets pretty decent fuel economy!

I have no gripes about the car at all. Love it!

Default I suspect the Acura will be significantly cheaper...

more desire by the dealer to discount compared to a hot new G35.

With the Acura you are getting a known, high-quality boring car with good resale. FWD not RWD.

Cheers,
Sameer
