You hit my big debate...

I love the TL, but is it worth $8000 more than a Mazda6?

My only issue with the TL, besides the price tag is the fact the rear seat does not fold, seriously limiting the utility of the car. That is what may swing me to the 5-door 6.

The 6 has exceptional reliability, better than the Accord the new TL is based on. So I wouldn't shirk the 6 based on quality. Also, I found torque steer minimal in the TL I flogged.
