Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If manual isn’t your thing right now, maybe look into an acura tl or infiniti g37 Hope that helps.
  • If everything is legit though, go for it! It’s fun to drive, looks good, reliable and a great price and great mileage, and everything works. Just know the mpg isn’t the greatest, but it’s not terrible.
  • Both are good reliable cars. Personally I own a TL of the same generation and really like it.
  • Both are known to have transmission issues but I would go with the Acura out of the 2. Honda>Nissan
  • Acura all the way.

Cons

  • I would steer clear of old TLs. They have a high transmission failure rate and motor mount issues both of which are expensive to remedy unless you are willing to put some sweat equity into the car.
  • Can't say anything exact, but these cars aren't great on gas, accord or TL.
  • I’ve moved away from Acura TL‘s and TSX‘s after three days of constant searching in finding nothing but what looks to be pristine vehicles online and then I get to a major dealership lot or a third-party dirty lot and all of the Acura’s...

Alternatively, an Acura TL or RL is also a good choice. They are both more on the sportier side compared to the Toyota/Lexus competitors.

I had an Acura TL which only required premium parts in tires because they were low profile. Anything else I needed to repair, (spark plugs, etc) used Accord parts. Nothing broke down you wouldn’t expect and nothing was ever expensive to repair or replace.
