Acura TL A-Spec or Infinity G35?


Recommended Posts

My roommate has been looking at both of these cars and he found that the G35 is a better built car with less problems. Plus the G35 has a better resale value. G35 gets my vote all the way, but I'm sure you will be really happy in either car.

some shots of "MrMello"s pimped up g35  :p :

Wierd front, not sure if I like that..the wheels are just a little too shiny as well.

Who's car is that? I don't like those rims, too much chrome. Shoulda gone with some Volks. I don't like the Stillen grills either, really cheapens the car. Rather stay stock or go with some Gialla.

And yup, the G35 has the best resale value I think. A 2003 G35 Coupe still costs around $29,000. I'll show you some nice G35 coupes....

Drive them both like I have and you'll see the Infinity offers a little more than the Acura. I like the G35 more because of a smoother ride, more ameneties and in some cases, a better value. Both are great and appealing cars but if I had to choose, I'd say G35 all the way. Test drive them both and give them a fair chance and see what you think when you're done.

yep, took the words right out of my mouth... i test drove the TL and didn't like it. It is an absolutely beautiful car, but it just doesn't handle and drive as well as the G35. I actually got a 04 Maxima instead (I only like the G35 in coupe, and well, i'm not allowed to get a 2 door :pinch: :cry: :crazy: )....

Anyways, I've been driving my Maxima (while I have every single possible option, it's a cheaper version of the G35), and I would not turn back. The TL just does not handle and drive as well as the Nissan/Infinitis...

They're all beautiful cars though. The Infiniti/Nissan have MUCH more customizability compared to the TL....

But seriously though, test drive them, and that's the only way to tell.

The G35 for sure.  I don't even think there's a choice here.  Acuras are nice cars, but they're not in the same class as Infinitis.  I don't know where you heard they have reliability issues, but I am skeptical of that.

I'D go with the infinit only because I have driven the acura tl and it's powerful but seems heavy and sluggish and not as nimble as say the Accord.

The G35 for sure.? I don't even think there's a choice here.? Acuras are nice cars, but they're not in the same class as Infinitis.? I don't know where you heard they have reliability issues, but I am skeptical of that.

Err, they are in the same class (Acura and Infiniti). And Nissan (Infiniti) have been having problem after problem with reliability lately. I don't know anything about the G35 in particular, but the FX/Murano has been a nightmare and so have several other recent cars from that outfit.

The TL is a very nice car, and Acura/Honda definitely has an edge in reliability.

But personally, I prefer to stick with the Germans.

I love the new A4 2005_ext_gallery10_a4sedan_lg_us.jpg

I've found you have to see it in person to truly appreciate the new design.

Available in 2.0T (200HP) and 3.2L (255HP) models - as well as the 4.2L (350HP) S4 and 4.2L (420HP) RS4.

When I said that they're not even in the same class it was my opinion. In my opinion Infinitis are a lot classier than Acuras. Anyway, you can't talk about reliability and then bring up an Audi. German cars cars, specifically VWs which Audis are based off of, are among the least reliable cars in the world.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
