"What'd you trade your TL in for?"

- I traded down to the entry level Acura, a CSX, which is unavailable in the US but which is basically a fully loaded Honda Civic with some technical engine and drive train/ suspension upgrades not available on the Civic. As a matter of fact, it looks exactly like the Civic Si which you may have seen in recent ads. It has a 2 litre, 4 cylinder DOHC with 155 HP and is remarkable quiet and smooth running but can still show muscle in normal driving. I did so only because of the economy factor but somewhat regret the decision now - you get addicted to those luxury features and the TL had many little goodies that I had begun to take for granted.
If I can afford it, I will seriously reconsider the TL in few years time when I'm ready to trade again.

Yeah, I'm in Canada so I've seen the ads for the new CSX, which replaces the EL, right? I just can't go back to driving a car that small unless they've made some serious improvements to leg room, which didn't seem to be the case in the new Civic I sat in at the dealer. I drove for years with inadequate leg room and now that I've got a car with enough I'm not going back.
