Yperion
Cornering Kingpin
Result:
This was a close one. With a final spread of just 2 percentage points — in favor of the GLI — it's one of the closest comparison tests we've ever had. Things were so close that if you removed the nav system and its associated price penalty from the TSX we're pretty sure it would have been a dead heat.
A little slower and a little softer than the GLI, the Acura does deliver higher refinement, as well as the prestige and dealer service that comes with a luxury nameplate. It was also the favorite on our road trip. But for our $28K we want more personality, and more torque.
Although it's as roomy and comfortable as the Acura, the GLI's strong acceleration, tight steering and firm suspension, always kept it one corner ahead of the slower, softer TSX. Its superior performance simply makes it the better sport sedan.
As much as we enjoy the TSX, the GLI is more fun. And more fun is always better.
