> [@how do I get moisture out of headlights?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-do-i-get-moisture-out-of-headlights/45695/10): > > I do like the expected gas milage of the TSX. Since I’m trying to save money. (Compared to my truck). But id like the power of the TL. I think I need to find a TSX to drive… I’d go with the TSX if thats the case. Honestly the TSX isn’t to bad power wise for what it is. Guy who owns the shop next to me let me take out his TSX a few times when I was transitioning cars and it gets out of its own way for sure. Honestly dude, gotta stop looking at everything from a performance standpoint, I looked away from that and now I’m driving a Honda Fit LOL, but you know what, It costs me like 35 bucks to fill my tank, and I get ~360 Miles to a tank romping on it everywhere, its not fast, but its fun as hell to whip around. Get something that you know is going to be reliable, good on gas and that you can afford, I learned quick that when your trying to be baller on a budget it always blows up in your face. Find something you like and is comfortable to drive and good on gas, don’t worry about what others think when they see you roll up in the eco box vs something like an Acura. If your crunching the numbers this hard between two cars and worrying about gas mileage, chances are your goign to end up in the same sitaution you are now a few months/a year from now looking for something better on gas. ---

I honestly got tired of holding out for a low miles stick TL, and went with the auto. It does pretty well in my opinion, but I also have not driven a stick one to compare it too. As lame as that sounds lol ---

i may have voted TL, but I think you would be better off in a TSX. From what you are looking for, mainly gas mileage. ---

I got a little autotrader-curious on my lunch. There seem to be quite a few shifter TLs and TSXs in the Boston area (where I live when I’m not staying at Wayne’s) depending on your $$ range. For what it’s worth, I’d be willing to preview a car and give you a third party opinion on it, for FREE since I love cars and dealers so fucking much (and I want to drive one of these), granted the car is close enough to Boston. I also drive from Boston to Albany just about every weekend if you needed some kind of lift. Jussayin. #internetniceguy Wayne can vouch for my motor vehicle scouting service… I’ve bought one or two used cars before, so I’m a pro n shit. 😉 ---

i would go with the tl, bigger car although you might not need it resale might be better on it and i just think it looks alot better [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/acura-tsx-vs-acura-tl/260633.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/acura-tsx-vs-acura-tl/260633.md?page=5)
