Mine is at 101,500 miles. Drives like new except for a glovebox latch rattle and slow windows (these both seem to plague the TL's)

Any issues with your car?

Yeah, the latch's screws are tight, the latch itself just needs some grease or something, I'll get around to it sometime soon.

Rough shifting? I wonder if thats because of the I-5 engine, every Legend 3.2/TL 3.2 has been a smooth shifter, the Vigors had a smooth but more noticeable shifting feel.

Probably has something to do with the fact that the older Honda automatics weren't anything like a normal automatic transmission.

dam, I got 138,000. I thought I had the most on here....oh well, it's not exactly a good thing having high mileage, but the first 100,000 if mine were highway, and the last 2,000 are as well...

If there ever was a carmaker where having 140k wasn't a huge worry Honda/Acura is it.

Yeah, thats true. Same goes for Lexus/Toyota. I've seen older Lexus LS400's with 250,000 miles and they drive almost new. I hope my TL does the same, I'd love to keep it.

168000 KM's and runs like a dream. I find the tranny gets confused sometimes more than I'd say it shifts rough, but besides that and a squeeky/slow drivers window, my baby's still in good shape, runs quicker than ever too! If anyone knows of a shift kit available for the 3.2 let me know, would like to stiffen up the shifts a little for taking it to the track next year!!!

Yeah they do. I've seen '91 Legends go 250,000 miles with few problems, they drive fine too.

I've seen a few Vigors as well in that range.

I would imagine our TL's will do that if not better

I assume you've done the belts already. Have you done the free emissions recall? If not, do it! It includes a free oil change too

65,700 on my 96 3.2TL, I got lucky with low milege, but I'm even more happy knowning I can do 3 times this amount of miles and still have it run smooth as it is now. Ive noticed rough shifts lately, but that because its cold as hell out. Other than that, this car is my favorite.

82,500 on my '98. It still runs great despite all the scratches and minor damage my wife has put on it...I don't think I will ever get rid of that car. It will just keep running and running!!!

I got 125,000 on mine, but my mom's 96 has 172000 still runs strong, awesome car, the only thing that broke was the exaust manifold, but that was covered under the emissions warranty, it happened at 149,000, a thousand miles before our warranties run out.
