When talking to dealers about all the minor TL issues they all look like I am talking a foreign language too.

Now, back to topic... even after owning more expensive cars, I love my TL and can't think of anything on the market right now I'd rather own. I enjoy the tight handling and 0-60 time of the A6 without the service issues, the sound system of the SC430 without the sloppy handling, and the knowledge that I'm only $35k out-of-pocket. I'm just sorry that there are owners who are having problems and haven't been able to enjoy this car to the fullest. I hope they get them resolved. This is an outstanding automobile.

I'm considering trading in either the spouses Mustang LX or my NSX on a TL and like hearing all this positive and negative issues.
When I go to the dealer and have expressed my concerns over some of the problems I already know of, they look at me like I'm an alien. C'mon now, even they have to know about this stuff.
I'm glad to have found this site and gotten some invaluable info from here otherwise I might have bought one already and not been armed with the knowledge that I now have.
Thank guys and keep the comments coming.

Squeaks and rattles you can still drive with, some electrical and mechanical problems sideline you or have a detrimental effect on the vehicle. I know I get really annoyed with these things too but look at it this way.....Would you rather be in a relationship with someone who (only 1) had either a nice personality or good looks? If they didn't look as good as you'd like, maybe get an extreme makeover or something, but you can't really change someone's personality. Look at the overall picture -----> GREAT CAR
SIDE NOTE: Acura can tend to be bastards about warranty issues sometimes, work with them. I had to push and prod a little bit, but now they handle everything great.

The more I drive my TL the more I love it. The ride, the sound system, the navigation system and the overall quality make it a pleasure to drive. The only car we're thinking about trading in is my wife's BMW.

yeah I intend to trade mine in in 2-3 years for a lexus ls 430. no complaints at all about mine but then I am not a whiner. no rattles or squeaks and got michelin pilot sports at purchase. the way some of these people fuck their cars up with too large rims and silly mods you would expect that they would have 'issues' but the unfortunate person who buys their trade in will be the one with legitimate complaints.
