thought I would give the japanese cars another shot at steering me away from saab. last time I looked, the ride and handling couln't compare, but that was 2001.
tl: 17 inch wheels: not low profile. surprisingly harsh ride, small, can't see edges of car.tight interior. big lag downshift to accelerate. astoundingly wide turning radius. my wife's touareg beats it considerably.
rl: more road noise than my 9-5. interior is nice, but not nearly as good a fit as the saab. I felt every rut in the street. very powerful, but a lag as well before kicks in. very complicated controls. i wonder if it is the cheapo michelin's that make it so noisy and harsh. they're practically giving a 2006 with 1400 miles away, but I can't imagine I'll be happy with it. I think I'd immediately change the tires.
next up: 2007 G35. expecting it to be a good ride, but so far, can't believe any reviews based on my experiences with the acura's.
