I owned the TL. Frankly, I thought it was dull. Sure it is fairly fast and has lots of extras in it. But considering the handling (it being FWD), I couldn't pay $40K for one.I traded my TL in for a BMW 3 series. It's better looking and infinitely more fun to drive. The 328i is as fast as the regular TL, and the 335i is as fast as the Type S. But either car will smoke the TL if the road has any bends in it.Personally I'd rather have a 328i than a Type S for the same money. Just take a test drive on a country lane and see how well that rear wheel drive and amazing suspension feels around the corners. True Acura have some great residuals, but the BMW is better.For me there is no contest.
