Question

What type of car should I replace my 2005 Acura TL with?

Answer 1

What kind of car are you into? SUV? Minivan? Compact? I like Japanese to buy and German to lease

Answer 2

Since you are driving that Acura, you are going to want similar performance at least. Otherwise you will be disappointed after you hit freeway with the new car. Whatever you decide to buy, make sure you do through test drive just to make sure you are completely satisfied. Some dealers even let you take the car home for the night.

Having said that, here's few choices. You can get 2008 or 2009 your pick. If I was you, I'll ask for coupe.

Pontiac G6 - GT or GXP good either way

Chevy Cobalt -  Try the SS version.

Mazda 3 or 6 - sports Package

Mitsubishi lancer

Acura TL - It sure is a nice car. But I guess you are bored now.

I have made the list above with 1st choice at top and then 2nd choice so on. If you are looking for a Sports car, there are different choices like Toyota Celica or Nissan 350Z even Mazda Miata.

Now if you want a distinctive car, you are looking for hatchback Wagon class. Start with Pontiac Vibe, Dodge Caliber or Subaru forester.

I am perfectly aware that the gas mileage of the list above may not be the best out there. But then if you don't want Buyer's Remorse, they are least likely to give you one.

Of course I can recommend fuel efficient cars like Hyundai Accent or Honda Fit etc. But I guarantee you WILL get Buyer's Remorse.  Do the test drive thoroughly for this reason!

Answer 3

Something you aren't going to lease.

Unless you're having major problems with your 3 year old Honda, it's unlikely you did anything other than lease. Bad idea.

Nobody can tell you what to get without knowing your price range, intentions to buy/finance/lease, personality, preferences, and so on.
