Been nice being part of this group. I finally decided on a vehicle, with the G35 sedan 6 speed, not being released till january or so. I decided to get rid of TLS and get a GS400. The quality issue was the nail in the coffin. 2 transmissions, bad brakes, squeeks, rattles. A center console that won't stay close replaced twice. Peeling paint and ...Well you all get the picture. It was a pleasure to be part of the group. The forum gave good advise and laughs. I will be stopping by on occasion to check on you guys and gals. So take care a safe driving.

 

later dude

 

It's too bad you're leaving and that you had a bad experience with your TL. Take care and keep stopping by from time to time.

 

on the bright side you will definitely love your gs4. make sure you go to clublexus often, i am there and it's lots of fun

 

So your saying these forums are not fun?

 

 

Sorry your Acura had so many problems. What year GS400, and what kind of transmission? Enjoy it. We'll like to see pictures after you get new wheels for it.

 

Wow, GS400 is some serious machinery and its made and assembled in Japan !

To me rattles is the biggest turn off (which has no fixes).....
quality is not superior, but I think it's about average compared to Toyota or Nissan. ( though I agree it could have been better ).
I am telling you, they got to start making those things in Japan... it will sove quality and rattle issues

other than that I love the car.

 

no! damnit ray i mean he should go there and get some fun with the lex

 

they are all 5 speed automatic. but they are proven to be able to take well over 400rwhp without any major changes

 

Wellcome to the club I traded my //M3 for a 99 GS4 over a tls before honda acknowledged they had a tranny issue. I love mine. You cant beat it for the money. Very smooth & powerful.

 

you may wanna wait and see what the '04 TL brings you dont want to regret your next car purchase

 

so you wanna see the new gs (maybe gs500) that will be in the lot in spring 04 too?

 

PICS OF YOUR GS400 PLZ.. I just love seeing those!

 

...or wait to see what the 2010 BMW brings, god forbid don't buy anything until then!

 

sweeeeeet, you got it brand new or used? I'd love a GS400, I wish I wasn't too cheap to buy one.
good luck

 

I can afford a used GS 400-430, i am looking at 1999 to 2001. Good deals in DC especially in the N. VA area. The TLS was my first Honda/Acura product. But alas, it will be my last product. As much as I enjoyed the car, I do not enjoy worrying what's next to happen or look for a new noise. My Maxima's quality, (and I will get flamed for this). Was well ahead and above this car. Unless the New Maxima comes soon, that's the only other vehicle I am considering. One thing for sure this TLS is history. I will drive my corolla until I find something. But thanks all for the advise and well wishes.

 

 

www.clublexus.com c-u there. Congrats!

 

actually the built quality of the maxima is VERY good, i sat in couple and i am impressed. if anything it's their exterior that i don't buy

 

I am a big fan of the GS4! Good luck and enjoy! Sorry to hear about your disappointment with the TLS. I love my car but now that the cold is here I am starting to hear more rattles so I know what you guys mean about the quality!

Cars are only getting better so I can't wait to see what BMW, MB, Lexus and Acura come up with next! Infiniti too, but they just came out with their new line up of cars.
