Novice

ramilford

Third Acura. 2 TLs and one Legend. All three were Red. GREAT CARS!

Aegir

First time. Positive experience with my 2000 Honda Odyssey was a big factor.

GaleForce

First Acura and first car

-=¤willhaven¤=-

TLGator

2nd Acura, 3rd Honda overall

KeithL

First, and based on way ACS treated me and the constant on going annoying problems (headliner, tires, back deack buzz, door and dash squeaks, a few minor paint defects)...
LAST TIME BUYER!

mr_superlove

My wife got her RSX a week before I got the TL.

mr_superlove

Damn, willhaven and GaleForce! Would you mind shipping me your silver spoons when you're done with 'em? I had to cut my teeth on an '89 Toyota Corolla.

neuronbob

This is my second TL. I do not miss the first one at all. And I liked that one.

acura_driver

'86 Legend, '01 CL-S, & '04 TL, all bought new.

-=¤willhaven¤=-

well... seeing as ive been working my ass off 12-16 hour days for the past 9 months. i think i deserve it.

might as well enjoy having money while my job lasts. lol

i was driving a 91 dodge caravan before this. my parents hooked me up with that when i was 17-ish. now i'm 22, worked hard enough to snag an awesome job, and now i want a TL. :P

GaleForce

I guess I am the noob

Once I get my car though, I am getting a job. I really do appreciate my parents footing the bill on such a nice car, but I am helping pay for it out of my bank account. Not sure how much, but I think all of the down payment, which was over half. Anyway though, once I can actually drive to a place to work I want to get a job, that way I can buy stuff. :p

neuronbob

Well then...you go on with your bad self. You should be proud. I had to through many years of delayed gratification (school, training, more training) to be able to afford a TL, so I feel the same way as you.

First Acura, but my '04 TL is my seventh Honda product that my wife and I have bought--

'81 Accord - Icy green metallic
'85 Civic - anthracite metallic (not what Honda called it)
'88 Accord - champagne beige

'00 Odyssey - canyonstone metallic
'03 Pilot - sagebrush metallic
'04 TL - satin silver metallic

jime

1990 Acura Integra GS 5-speed Bought new and sold after 115,000 miles - Fun commuter car
Unscheduled Repair: power antenna

1995 Acura Legend 6-speed coupe bought new and sold after 142,000 miles (for 04 TL) best car I ever owned
Unscheduled repairs: Motor mount (warranty), radiator, power antenna

1998 Acura RL bought with 30K in 2000 and now have 53K on it - Great highway car
Unscheduled repairs: air cond., automatic window, dash lights (all under warranty)

:p 2004 TL 6MT, now have 5.5K on it - Great so far
HFL did not work when I got the car. Seat memory fails about once a month. No other issues - No tire problems, no rattles, no headliner problems.

KevinB

This is my 2nd Acura and I've previously owned 3 Hondas.

-=¤willhaven¤=-

i'm really unbelievably lucky actually. i've been wanting this job since 1998. all i did in my spare time was prepare and work for it. now i am blessed enough to have it.

my girlfriend tells me "i cant believe you are going to spend that much money on a car." and i say "what else am i going to spend my money on?" thousands of DVDs? piles of clothes? i already put a ton of money away (at least for most people my age) in my 401k and in IRAs. ive got all this cash just sitting in my bank account, i might as well make good use of it and put it towards something i will enjoy right?

it also eases my mind to have a full phonebook/map at my disposal at any moment, and that the TL is rated safest in its class. i almost went for the TSX, but once i saw the way the TL looked in person, i had to shell out the extra cash for the looks and the extra features.

i CANT WAIT to get this car. now hopefully these dealerships will call me back. LOL

Second Acura ... Getting my 04TL on Thursday .... counting the hours

NOX 3.2

my 3rd TL, very happy with it.
would not trade with a bimmer or benz even if you pay me.

A friend told me he has owned 7 Acura's so far... wow.

Rcat

First Acura..First non-amercian car ever,and from the sound of it(with all the people bitching about how bad the car is)the last..but so far so good.

Aegir

I didn't expect to see over 75% first time Acura buyers. A lot of people at Acura have some pretty big grins if they are seeing this type of response on their internal surveys as well.

TLXLR8S

first acura and first car.

brahtw8

The new TL has considerably broader appeal than the 1st two generations, which should be borne out by its sales numbers.

I had two 1st Gen legends, a 1987 from 1993-1994 and a 1988 from 1997-2001.

I still have Acura #3, the NSX, and of course #4, my TL.

NBP04TL4ME

First Acura, but 7 Honda product. Mostly Accords and Odysseys.

Rafiksao

any more update ?

wawawa

My Red/Camel/5AT/NAVI is my 2nd Acuar, and I still love it.

After having more than 338,000 miles of hassle free service from my 1990 Integra, I could not justify buying anythings else. The Integra still runs great and has 350K mile now.

berlinrl

We are currently an All-Acura Family.

2002 RSX-S husband's car
2004 TL/Navi my car

We also had a 1994 Integra, so this is our third Acura.

SidS1045

First time for me. Before the TL, I owned 3 VW's, one Chevy Vega (and I don't admit that one too often), one Geo Prism (my wife's car, 10 years old and still going strong), and one Honda Passport. My sister has had two Acuras...an '88 Integra and an '01 CL, which she still has.

Daggra105

1992 Acura Integra LS - me (by the way, this car was AWESOME! made in Nippon. drove it for 13 years. sold at 183,000 miles.)
1993 Acura Integra GS - wife
2002 TL-S - wife (back to me.)
2004 TL - wife (next week.)

jdrasin

First Acura, very happy with it.

grudax

or will be the first time on the 28th

briden

First Acura and 4th *Honda*. Started in '91 with a CRX, then came a '94 Civic, 2001 Accord and now, of course, '04 TL.

riverfallserin

Civic, Accord LXi, Accord EX and now the TLM w/Navi. I'm delighted and I have only driven 100 miles. Love the sound system!

No_Remorse

This would be my first Acura... who knows where I will move next

* 2002 Ford Mustang GT (First Car)
* 1996 Ford Escort (Needed a winter car with the Mustang...)
* 2004 Acura TL (Desided to merge the two)

Although I am happy to say I have been fortunate enough to not have too many problems with the TL. A little vibration in the passanger door storage area (easily fixed) and the brakes that erk the hell out of me at times (But very slowly getting better).

Rishevan

'81 Civic Hatchback, Silver - got me from point a to point b.
'84 Accord, Red, manual - awesome car, i still miss it.
'87 Accord, Beige - at the time thought it was the bomb.
'97 Accord, Green - bare bones version, still a great car
'98 Accord coupe, Green - Very fun, sold for '01 TL
'01 TL, Silver, Navi - Easy to give up for the '04
'02 MDX, White, No Navi - Had a kid
'04 TL , Antracite, Navi - WOW!

Fiest Acura, and will be my last Acura too
