3rd Gen TL Loaner

So the dealer scratched my front bumper when they were working on it and i bitched at them, they said they will paint the front bumper free of charge, and of course im not gonna be without a car! i got a 2004 acura tl, when i first found out i was gettin it i was pretty happy, i had it for about 4 days now and beat the hell outta it and put plenty of miles on it, i even brought it up to 150 mph, as for power its decent, really blow between 1 and 5000 rpms, no mid end power i was surprised, the tranny in the car feels great tho, it shifts nice. interior is decent, not to luxurious, more of a sporty feel. Sound system is decent, but im used to my car, so i was like this is it?.. i love beating the hell out of loaners!!

While you were beating the crap out of the loaner, the bodyshop workers and lot attendants were doing the same to your car.

I had a 3rd Gen car fro a loaner a few weeks ago and I felt it didn't have a whole lot of power off the line. I had to put my foot to the floor for a few seconds from a dead stop before any of it came on.

thats because of the drive by wire. until the car learns your driving style teh pressure needed on the pedal is more. it helps smooth out acceleration for normal drivers
