I think TurboTL is just plain stupid to buy the TL if he doesn't like it. He probably doesn't even own the TL.

I just put CL-S wheels on the car this past weekend and I thought damn, this car looks great. I went over to the folks house and my Dad was out front when I pulled up and immediately noticed the change. He thought the wheels made the car look a lot sportier and thought they complimented the car. The point here is the car is such a good value to start with add 3K in mods and you could end up with nearly 275 HP car that looks great and different than anyone elses.

I guess I just found the right car for me. I know that's a strong statement after ownly owning it a week and a half, so that doesn't take into account reliability as I need time to evaluate that.
But... I sure can comment here since ole TurboTL2001 hasn't owned his long.
Turbo: Next time you get a big inheritance, feel free to shop around before you slam down some benjamins. It'll make you feel a whole lot better about your purchase, and ensure you get the car you 'll appreciate. Because you certainly don't appreciate my car.

Life is beautiful and full of choices.

I agree with most of you. Why by a car if your not somewhat happy with it.This person does not know much about cars or how to buy one. The looks of the current Maxima interior is weak compared with a TL.The TL is a Consumer Best Buy also gets rated high from AAA JD Power & more.The TL is a hot seller at Acura Dealers if it was such a bad car why are all the people giving it such high praise.The TL combines many things luxury/sport/value & good quality.

6) Question: Why would you buy a car that you have to add on to to make it better? And void the warranty that you paid extra for?
Answer: If you think that it is dumb to buy a car and add something on to make it better, then why are you getting a "custom turbo" made? What a goon.

It looks a lot better on paper than in person. I am in the process of getting a turbo custom made for it to see if that helps, but if not, it is out the door. The TL-S is no better. That is what the car should have looked like originally. Acura's styling is about 4 years behind.

You have to one of the dumbest 23 year old I have ever heard of. Why the hell did you buy the car if you didn't like it? Did you think the cars looks would change after you bought it? Did you think it would get faster with age? Why don't you do some research before you buy a car then would know what you are buying. What interior parts are cheap? I don't see any. Have you looked in the inside of other cars? The TL looks allot better than most of the cars out there. If you want a fast car go buy a sports car don’t buy a four-door sedan you idiot. This car is not made to be a sports car is made to be roomy and relaxing to drive which it is.

TurboTL is probably one of two things:
1. He doesn't own a TL and he's just an annoying little jerk who came on here to be the jerk that he is.
OR
2. He did buy a TL, but he smoked some of "da kine" green, sticky, skunk bud before he walked into the dealer and made an impulsive, "stoned" decision that he now regrets. The Acura salesman slam-dunked this boy!
If 2 is the right answer, get over your buyers remourse, smoke a big fat bong hit and go buy some mods!

This is funny. Let assume that he owns the car. He test drove it, didn't like it and bought it anyway ... Must be really dumb.
