Welcome on bro! I've only been on here for a few months, but it's a very reliable source of information for our cars. Everyone here is very helpful and willing to share their experience, so it's a great place to take advantage of free information. Other than that, congrats on your purchase! ACURA ROCKS!!!

Brown noser.


You may love your car now, but wait 'til you start hearing rattles and squeaks that the dealerships can never fix. Not to mention other problems, like the transmission. You chose the wrong car. You should've gone with a Lexus. They are classier. Owners might be cocky bald geriatric farts, but the cars are much more solid and reliable.

At least with a Lexus, you don't have to pray everyday that your transmission won't poop out on you.

Sorry to be the pessimitic guy of the group, but hey, we make the world a better place with criticism.

Get rid of that fiber from the towel stuck on the last A.

Be more careful next time when you dry your car, because it could easily rip the letter right off the trunk.

I got in my TL-S from a '96 Intrepid that I got used with 130,000 miles from an auction. It was a rental car for 5 years, and it was literally falling apart.


I thought I would be rid of problems with Acura, but I was wrong. At least the tranny on the Intrepid held up even after 130,000 hard miles.


Yeah, I'm one of those bitter owners you'll find around here. But I have my good days and you'll see me practically making love to my car. I'm just chemically imbalanced sometimes, what can I say?

Take good care of your car. Congratulations on the purchase.

only crazy car enthusiasts like us would notice the extra lint you got stuck on the last A. There's also a little on the first one. Well atleast we know you'll fit in. I get sh*t stuck to the lettering everytime I clean my car!!!

Spend about 6 hours a week detailing your car and you would notice it, too.

Can't do it during the winter up here, though. I'm just itching for warm weather so I can bust out the Zaino and go to town.

All those folks above mentioned will help you thru your trials and tribulations as well as your enjoyment of the TL. Please don't hesitate to share whatever expertise you may have as good new ideas are hard to come by.

Congrats and happy motoring.
