great automobile

Well it's been about 15 mos that I've owned my 05 TL and so look forward to driving it everyday. This is probably the best car I've ever owned, looking at it from an all around reliable and fun, pleasurable, puts a smile on one's face. My biggest issue is keeping it within 20 mph north of the speed limit. I put blizzaks all the way around this winter and the car really handles and was great in the snow and ice we get here in Syracuse. That's my
Anyhow I love this site and the info is great, thanks to all.

Hint. Use your cruise control. Helps to keep your cash in your pocket and points off of your license (not sure what points are or how the work).

+1 on the best car. Mine turns 3 in a few days and it feels like I bought her yesterday.

cruise control is your friend~ set it within 5 of the posted and you should be ok

Want to learn the TL? read owner book for traction control and braking system interfaces,
then go to local roadrace track for a track day school- you will have more fun that one should for 200-250 dollars
and learn how to control the TL at the edge of limits
