At least 7 years when the warranty runs dry, then I'll evaluate the situation. Bought '12 SH-AWD in Oct. '11, 4 years to go. I love 90% of the car, the ride quality is really my only complaint. When its just me in the car I love the road feel, but on long cruising trips with the fam I'm the only one not complaining. I would have easily paid Acura a few more grand up front for adjustable ride control.

I appreciate my car even more after just experiencing a 2015 MDX tech loaner. While the dash tech is nice, being locked out of so many features when the car is moving really pissed me off.

2012 that's paid for... My initial plan is until it can't go no more! My money feels happier in my pockets than in the dealership's.

I got my 09 TL tech with 68k on it
made 3 payments on it (2 of them are bi weekly payments) lol now im just over 78k

I'm probably going to keep it until end of Sept
(new job which requires more commuting)
My background, I had total of 4 cars just last year, I kept changing cars because I get bored very easily (with this TL being auto doesn't help)

This car has everything I want in a car (with the exception of cooled seats) so I plan to keep it as long as possible. Now if I win the lottery I'll likely upgrade to an M5, but considering the fact that I don't buy lottery tickets I don't see that happening.
haha I'm in the exact same boat. Not too many cars of this class/price range out there that come in MT. Speaking of which, what are some others?
535i? A6? These are probably much more $ though...?

The only other (in this size) that I cross-shopped was the 535i...and that was definitely more money and I was worried about the lack of reliability.

I considered the 335i and G37 but both were just too small.

Hey first post! Anyhow, i bought an extended 6 year warranty, so probably a year before it runs out. Always been a 4 cylinder guy but after all this power i will probably end up getting a truck or something. Maybe a Nissan Titan?
