While my RSX was in the shop today, I got a nice loaner from Zimbrick Acura. It was a 2008 Acura TL.

I liked it. It had a lot of nice features inside - more than my RSX. Power seats, dual climate control, trip computer, XM Radio. leather interior, heated seats and a few other things. It handled nice. My RSX has better pickup when you tap the pedal but the TL had more horses. It had an automatic transmission but it also let you go into manual drive mode, which was fun. The stereo was good. I liked the satellite radio. The instrument display was very nice and fun to look at. It would have been cool to drive it at night and see how things looked.

I think any car I drive has to at least have a sun and moonroof. The TL did, of course.

The color is nice, too. I don't like silver cars much but they don't show dirt. I would think that this color wouldn't show much dirt either and it isn't silver. I'd have to tint the windows to the legal Wisconsin maximum if I'd get one, though. :-) 

So it was fun. I didn't expect to get a loaner but I don't go to the dealer much and being an Acura dealer it seems like their customers would actually expect loaner cars. I'm sure I paid for it somewhere in there, but it came in handy since I had a few appointments today to get to.

I'll give it a 4 out of 5 since I'm a big Honda/Acura fan.
