Performance and other features mainly.2004 and younger.

I have a 06 TSX & I like it alot - it get's better gas mileage than the TL and is plenty zippy. I love the in dash GPS and all the features, back seat folds down & it carries plenty in the trunk

TSX

The TSX and TL may share similar body styles but thier original "Honda" names are of totally different histories. The TSX around the world is known as the Honda Accord Euro-R.While the TL is known as the Honda Legend.The TSX is more economic and affordable in performance compared to the TL.The TL was built with all around luxury, power, and technology in mind.

2004 was the first year for the TSX and the first year for the new TL body-style....If you are looking for standard options prior to 2006 the TL had more equipment (bluetooth, memory settings etc...) In 2006 they equipped both with almost identical features..If performance is a main criteria I would go with the TL. If fit and finish is a top priority go with the TSX...If price comes into play the TSX is less expensive and a great car. The lease numbers on the 2006 TL's are hard to beat, you may want to check out that option as well.

It depends what you like. They are both excellent cars. Performace wise the you can buy a TL Type S (just like the RSX-S) which comes with a 3.2L V-TEC 6cyl and a 6 spd transmission. You can get a TSX in a 6 speed as well. Personally I like the TSX better than the TL. The TSX is acura's new race car since the RSX is gone : ( The TSX is also better if you are into tuning your car. It comes with a K series engine and has a huge aftermarket following. Turbos, cams, intakes, exhausts, pistons, rods, ARP hardware, nitrous kits, and the list goes on and on. Turbo and High Tech performance put a K20 into an integra and then turbocharged it, giving it enough horsepower to do almost anything a driver could desire.If it is luxery that you desire the TL is certanly a more luxerious car, but remember all Acuras are made to be luxerious.

you cant compare TSX and TL! Just like a you are comparing with Honda Civic and Accord. but if just want to know witch car is better then i have to say TL. more power, comfort and roomier
