I've picked up mine (Silver TLS) yesterday.. The car is nice and smooth especially I have the spoiler and underbody kit installed.

 

Rocket, Feliz,


Congratulations on your new cars!! I know you'll enjoy 'em as much as the rest of us. Unless you've owned a faster car, you may wanna consider a radar detector!!

 

Peter, now that you brought up that subject, what brand of RD? Valentine or the relatively new Escort (Passport?) 8500? When will Valentine come out with their new model?

 

Congrats on your new TLS. I just wash mine today. Took over 2 hours, but enjoyed every second.

Feliz,

GREAT!!! Congrat on your TL-S! So, did you get anything from dealer??

Have 330 KM on mine now... another 900 KM to go 'til break-in is over(usually, it's around 1000KM for break-in as you guys are well aware of....but I like to put some extra KMs on it before things really get heat up!! )

Anyways, plan to gather up all the buddies(TLS and MB) this summer....see how many TLS owners we can gather locally...

Andy, I didn't find them too willing to negotiate. $500 off MSRP, wheel locks, rear mud guards, and the plastic trunk liner thrown in. I always have a bunch of wet towels in my trunk from drying my dog off after her swims.

Getting together sounds good, we'll have to watch for other greater Vancouver posters on here and get something going.

Congrats to all of you who have just discovered one of the best deals on wheels anywhere. Enjoy your cars. I love mine.

 

OK, now I can post from a postition of strength; picked up my Satin Silver 3.2TL-S non-nav today. I traded in my '99 Satin Siilver 3.2TL non-nav on it. Only extra is mud flaps, to me that looks great and I don't need any other extras.

Definite difference in the ride and feel of the '02 3.2TL-S vs. '99 3.2TL. The '02 TL-S's seats are more firm and comfortable, the steering wheel feels better(really), the ride is firm yet very smooth and quiet.

It is much easier to see the dash gauges behind the '02 steering wheel vs the '99. The position on the '99 steering wheel was a compromise in position in order to see the gauges the '02 steering wheel sits just right and affords a good overall view of the dash and gauges.

And two small peeves with the '99 but they corrected it for '02; THANK GAWD!

Peeve #1 was no corner horn activation you always had to push the center of the steering wheel for the horn to blow now the corners do work; GREAT!

Peeve#2 was the '99 Acura floor mats had a hole for the floor pin so the mats wouldn't slip but there was NO pin for the hole in the mats so they always slipped out of position; that has been corrected as well in the '02; WHOOPEEEEE!!!!!

After 10 miles it still seems brand new to me : - )

 

Congratulations on your new TL-S! Here in the Okanagan they are not yet in stock. The first group that arrived were all pre-sold. I'm eagerly waiting an email so I can test drive the Tl-S. Thanks Wayne, for the info on the deal you got. I hope when it comes my time to deal that they are as generous.

My fried has a V1 which has served him flawlessly over the years. However, the only thing he's not protected against are the cops using the "pulse" system that cannot be picked up by any "radar" detector.
