Being a previous 2G owner and currnet 3G owner
#41
I think the one thing I am concerned about is reliability, especially if I'm looking to buy a used '04. On consumer reports, the 04' is doing relativelly poor on the categories of Electical, Body Integrity, and Power Equipment. Not as poor as say BMW, but poor for a Honda. I'd like to believe that these problems would be solved in the first year under warranty by the first owner, but life is not that fair. Putting aside the tranny issue, the 2gl is rated way higher in reliability. We'll see if the 05's fix those problems.
And from a used buyer's perspective, the 04' does not seem like it's going to depreciate as quick as the 2gl, which adds to the initial cost of ownership in cost and insurance.

i think the 2G exterior is still much more sexy. its nice and sleek and sporty, where the 3g is kind of a big tank. i also dont like the square exhaust tips on the 3G, but these are small things i can easily get over when im driving that 270hp beast, black on black 6spd with navi...oooooooo one day i will finally get one
probably wont be for a few years though, then i can participate in the 4g vs 3g thread!!![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)

My next car will probably be a 3G 6MT, if Acura were smart and put a 6MT into the TL-S that would be my next cat. I need a manual. My cureent TL is the only auto I have ever owned, still it's the best car I have ever owned.

My girl has an 2003 Type-S and got a loaner 3G because hers had to get a new tranny.
LUCKY. WHEN I GOT MY TRANNY I DIDNT TAKE A LOANER, BUT MY FRIEND HAD TO DRIVE A SH!TTY BEAT UP OLD FORD ESCORT AS A LOANER FROM RALLYE ACURA, WHICH ALSO SELLS LEXUS,BMW,MERCEDES&MAYBACH.

just a simple interjection....
I will ride my 2G TL until its almost dead.
I am holding out for a 2005 or so, RL (as a pre-owned)
I sat in one at the stealership, next is to try one on the road....
