I'm ready to graduate. Help me decide. Possible 99 SE_L for sale.

About 7 years ago, I brought my 99 SE-L home. She was my world. I never had one single major problem with her and she has served me as well as i have served her. However, I think it's time for a change and an upgrade.

I am looking to get either an 07' g35x or an 07 or so Acura TL. I need to have the car be good in snow, so the g35 has to be the X model. I wan't more refinement than I have now, I want a quite cabin, quality interior, etc. I just want a more sophisticated car- period. These two are on my short list. I hear the TL is a bettr built car, but the G is more of a drivers car. I still have to go drive them both. I drove an 04 coupe a few years back and it was sick. The steering was so tight and responsive. I wonder if the sedan is that way? Anyway, if you have experience with both these cars, or just have some general advice, i would appreciate it. BTW, be on the lookout for one of the most "crispy" and FULLY loaded, mahognay pearl with TC factory 4th gens to hit the classified sections soon. ;-)

Sounds like the TL is what your looking for.
Personally I love them too.

They're both excellent cars, I would also look in to the audi A4 as well.

I have driven both cars.

The acura has slightly better quality interior and it feels a little roomier. It also has better fuel economy.

The infiniti sounds better, is quicker in a straight line, handles better, also has a nice interior, and the AWD is a beast in the snow but u loose about 4 MPG overall.

Id pick the G35x simply because it has a better engine and a MUCH superior platform than the Accord based TL.
