I'll be in the market for a new car soon. In a month or two.

I have two cars in mind. 2005-2008 Acura TL (base or type-s) or 2006-2007 Honda Accord Sedan EX V6.

I can't make up my mind. I would the Accord because it's cheaper by a good $3,000-$5,000.

What are the main differences between the two? (Besides engine)

Do 7th gen accords and TLs have auto tranny problems?

My dad has a 04' TL with the 5AT and he likes it. He has no tranny problems at all and his car has 111k on the odo and it still runs like a champ. I'd prefer the TL if you can find one for a good price you get a bit more luxury and im not a big fan of the 7th gen accord's interior.

i personally would go with the TL, looks alot better and holds a higher resale than the accord... and i have the 07 accord, i am impressed by it but after driving it a few times, there is no MAJOR difference from the 6th gen. i mean that as in totally new car but same feel all around...

at least thats how it is for me
