Differences between the TL and the Accord would come down to most of the following.
- Interior quality
- Road noise suppression / active noise cancellation
- Ride quality
- Sound system
- Exterior looks (Accord is blah while the 4th gen TL is stunning!)
I personally have a 3rd gen TL and imo it is far superior in terms of quality and attention to detail inside the car, compared to the Accord. Also if your not looking into the SH-AWD the cost of maintenance really isn't much more. Almost all of my parts I buy at the Honda dealership, as most of the drive train parts are shared with the Accord you will pay slightly cheaper prices then buying at Acura. In terms of complexity it's no worse then just working on any other V6 Honda. A bit more to them than the 4 cylinders, but they aren't really more difficult to work on. I have experience in this as I bought our TL with a blown transmission, and I replaced it myself and tore then entire engine down at the same time.
