10 Day Report!
Thanks to all on this forum--have been lurking for a few months and the info was most helpful in making my purchase. I've had my TL ('05 ABP/Quartz Navi 5AT) for 10 days now (almost to the magic 600 miles)! What a great car--I have to stretch to come up with minor complaints. So far the worst was having to wait almost 4 weeks for the dealer to get an ABP/Quartz--but it's been well worth it! I traded in a '00 Mustang GT and the TL is almost as much fun to drive
--even my 13 yr old approves (and she really wanted the Mustang when she turns 16--as if). The navi system is awesome, but now my wife wants one in her '03 Odyssey
. Haven't gotten to use the bluetooth yet--I need to wait for Nextel to come out with a decent BT phone. Handling has been great, we've had a ton of rain here in Central FL the last week and I've felt very comfortable driving in torrential downpours.
My two really petty complaints thus far are the inconvenience of the tilt/telescope control and not having the MID control buttons on the steering wheel. Which is to say that I realy have nothing to complain about!
Hey, the sun's peeing out...time to wash it for the first time!

Congratultions!! I concur with the others regarding color combo. I also am a proud owner of ABP w/Quartz interior 5 AT w/ Navi.
Aahh the first washing, what fond memories. How much fun did you have? I am new to being a car afficionado, I have learned SO MUCH here and from the Car Care site.
I highly recommend the Zaino line.
Enjoy your new baby

Zaino baby...it's the best!! Good luck with your new car and welcome to the Acura Forum. Don't believe all you read about rattles...yeah some people have them, but there are far more rattle free TL's out there...mine included. You got a great car, enjoy it!!!
