Welcome

Be sure to register at www.acura.com owner experience and maker a free account by VIN
Find your radio security code and store there for later use
Also call 1-800-382-2238 x5 and register as new owner there
Both will give warranty info-

make sure you read the trans failure threads and signs so you know while still under warranty!

Nothin beats buying a TL and getting a free trans for it a month later!

luxury for daily driver for sure. It's nice to cruise on the fwy and be able to hear your radio. I can't hear anything in my Evo. Making that much power there alot of noise coming from everywhere.

How is it realiablity wise? Is it expensive to maintain?

Luckily the TL will only need basic maintence and live a long happy life for you.
I know you can't compare the two, but isn't it crazy how much it costs to go fast? lol

The evo isn't that bad like people been bad mouthing them. It been reliable for me and I was making alot of power with the stock engine. Just oil change 3k and make sure everything is always in tack before beating on the car.
