Damn! I thought I drove alot. You guys are averaging something like 2600 miles in a month!
Wow.. you guys must be either hard on your brakes or the stock brake pads/rotors are crap. My 04 Accord has 41K miles on it and the brakes feel as strong as when I bought the car new, and at my last oil change they said the pads were almost at new thickness.
43,500 as of this weekend. Had HFL reflashed......ends up the LG PM-325 cell phone was the culprit. They do NOT work well with the HFL. Drops incoming calls. New Samsung Katana works great! Tires 1/2-3/4 worn. Upgraded to new and improved MTF from Honda. Dealer replaced free.
Runs perfect. Just like my '01 CL that had 144,000 miles. Original brakes. Ran great till the tranny broke, at which point I traded her so THEY would replace it.

Around 31K and still on original brakes for my 6MT purchased on 06.04.05. I only had 2 major issues so far:
1. HFL went out so it had gotten replaced under warranty.
2. Car wouldn't start and I thought it was the battery. Replaced battery and it still wouldn't start afterwards. Turns out, it was a bad fuse box and got that replaced under warranty too.

Got mine delivered 4/1/05 w/ 10 miles. Now I am at 27,900
Problems
1) Radio settings (bass, treble, sub) reset themselves to factory every two weeks. Appt to look at it
2) Shifting became a mess until I swapped the transmission with new Honda stuff, feels like new
3) Third brake light cover replaced under warranty.
4) New Brembos needed at 26,000.
5) Rarely ever roll down the windows, but they grind when I do, Acura so called fixed them twice, another appt to look at (Getting very old).
6) Usual rattles - Have given up and accepted them as a personality trait of the TL

I guess I'm the winner so far. I bought my 2005 TL in April 2005 and have 54,000 miles. So far the only issue was that the passenger door lock whined when engaging. The dealer replaced the actuator under warranty.
I received mine on 12/20/2004 and just reached over the 39000 mark. In shop for new mods.
Only problems are:
Driver's side front floor mat "TL" came off-warranty
3rd brake light cover material sagging-warranty
Broken right rear courtesy light cover broken-warranty ( putting in the LED's and it broke).
Just minor squeaks left.

i got my WDP non nav TL in May 05 with 3300 miles (it was a demo car) and i just passed 31,500.
the only problem i've had is with the sagging head liner behind the moon roof. they reglued twice, then finally replaced the whole headliner, all on warranty.

2005 TL (AT w/ navi)
Purchased New: 11/15/05
Mileage: 10,100
No mechanical problems to date.
A few minor rattles (nothing really to complain about; all cars have them, I'm sure).
The car goes in for its 10,000 mile service tomorrow.

Almost 21K on my '05...
Problems:
3rd gear grind; completely fixed by the GM stuff
Clicking from left front axle. Dealer replaced Brembo pads/rotors..clicking still there, now they claim "normal operation"...free brake job at least.
Rattles, rattles, rattles...I'm not about to let the dealer go after those...I have fixed most myself.
That's it! Great car!

Now at 44,553. The perfect car!
Bought ours on Nov 19th 04 and currently at 41,000. Has been in several times for the interier rattles and once for new front brakes under warrenty for warped roters. Other than that it gets fresh mobil 1 every 5000 miles and a tranny drain and refill every 15,000. Original michelins are still at 1/2 tread too.
