you have to remember, I came out of an '05TL 6 speed to my accord and the TL was significantly more pleasurable overall to drive than my accord. bluetooth and looks? it's more than that. the stereo, ELS, heard it? can't compare that to many things on the market at all.. bi-zenon headlights....... Brembo brakes...... trip computer without nav. longer warraty. etc etc. yeah, it's worth it. wish I still had mine, but kid/house. payment lower needed.
