Just got over 8000 miles today, interior and exterior are in great condition, except for a minor knick in the rear bumper (damn Chicago drivers don't know how to parallel park 
)
I had that annoying heatshield buzzing problem but that was fixed very quickly. That was the only problem I have had so far.
Just Zainoed and Claybared my car this past weekend and used the Zaino liquid leather and the cleaner, and it looks great. The driver's seat is holding up very well.

have 33000 on my 04 and is still in great condition minus rock chips in the front....not that many thought. The interior is holding up good, just me driver side seat is showing alittle wear but its expected as acura doesnt use the best leather and plus its black. Aside from those issues i love my car more everday i drive it. I just turn up the radio so i dont hear any rattles...

Just broke 21,000 miles a couple of days ago. It'll be 1 year on June 4th that I've owned this car. It's my daily driver and I enjoy driving it every time I get into it. I had just upgraded my suspension to A-Spec a week ago and it handles even better than before. The only thing I had a problem with was the HFL dying on me and that got replaced under warranty. I, too, have a couple of rock chips on my hood, but I'll touch it up later. I'm waiting on some more money so that I can upgrade to better rims and tires.

I have 44k miles on my '04. Aside from rock chips, I had to have the passenger headlight replaced because moisture was in it, warranty. The only thing I've done to it is change the oil, rotate the tires, and change the air filters.

Just over 9K on my 05' 6MT (purchased last July) I've only had a driver's window regulator replaced thus far. Thought I had a problem with the gearbox until I changed the fluid over to the Amsoil equivalent...

I've got approx. 8400 miles on my '04TL. It still smells new inside, but getting '05 leather skins might have helped keep that "new car" smell going. Other than the leather issue, I've had "0" problems with my car. Not one rattle, squeak, or creak so far. It's a GREAT car!
BTW...getting the '05 skins was a real hassle....you gotta replace the cushions and heater, not just the leather to get it to fit properly.

I have 38,xxx miles on my SSM '04 TL w/ navi. The car still looks great, especially beause of the color combo of the stock wheels and the car.
I have a minor crack on the very bottom of my front bumper cover from running over a bag of Christmas presents while doing 70 mph on the turnpike earlier this year
. The bag flew off of the top of a van that was two vehicles in front of me, and there was nothing I could do to avoid it (heavy traffic all around, so I had nowhere to go). So people, PLEASE make sure you secure bags, mattresses, people, etc. properly when you tie them on top of your vehicle.
Mechanically, the car is holding up great with this occasionally spirited driver. My only issues right now are 1 or 2 interior rattles, and the stop point of my driver's door window needs to be adjusted.
I'm lovin' this car!

Bought in 10/05. '06 TL (non-navi) 6spd. About 2700 miles. Still love the car
- Car is still great--minor rattle in driver door and/or steering wheel.
- One minor ding in front passenger quarter panel from some jackarse that opened their door into it.
- I'm getting paranoid about the 3rd gear problem--mine seems to shift fine now but I'm thinking about switching the fluid like everyone recommends.
- Leather seems to be holding up. Very minor butt prints on drivers side.
- I don't see and dash fade. I'm been using Meguirs NXT protectant.
- Still searching for wheels to clear the brembos.
- Installed the a-spec front lip
- Debating on installing the splash guards

Bought the car June '05. Currently have a little under 12,000 miles
problems:
- rattles coming from the dash and the A piller
- extreme notchiness going into 2 gear sometimes (dealer test drove it 3 times and claims that they can't duplicate the problem, so a fluid swap is due soon)
imperfections:
- 5 dings on the left side of my car from 2 shopping carts (damn people at the asian supermarket who have no respect for other people's vehicles....)
other than that, i love the car.

Bought mine in April of '05. I've put on a little over 21K.
- Minor rattles in the dash and A-pillar
- Few dings from unknown sources
- Faded dash
Overall not bad so far. Significantly better than my old Audi.

Bought mine May 5th 2005, she has 11k on the clock.
-All the regular rattles
-No dings (knock on wood)
-No faded dash because I am religious with maintainance.
Overall it's not bad but definitely subpar to my previous infiniti.

2014 RDX Tech AWD
Brought my baby home on November 15, 2005....
I now have 5,100 miles on the TL; I'm trying to average below a 1,000 miles each month...although I don't really know why since I'll be keeping this vehicle for the next few years....
And as much as I pay for the TL per month...I might as well "use" it and get my money worth.
**KNOCK ON WOOD**
No problems with my TL at all...

04 Auto TL purchased in June of 2004. I have a lil over 47000 miles on the car most if it is highway miles. Used Amzoil and Fram oil fileters every oil change going by the MID oil life display.
I've had problems with my car starting around 25000 after the first year of ownership. The TCS, ABS, Brake and the triangle with exclamation mark comes on while driving. I had to take the car into service more than 4 times for this problem. I filed a claim against Acura about 3 months ago and now they are buying my car back!!!!

I have almost 20,000 and no problems at all. I love this car as much as the day I bought it.
I'm about to replace the crappy EL42s as soon as I decide what to go with, most likely will be the Pilot Sport A/S.

i'm too lazy to do a write. there is one member who did a write up and he has over 50K miles. i think it's neuronbob, can't remember exactly. just do a search. in short, this car is great. even with the small problems, no car is perfect. i drive about 112 miles daily to work which is why i have high mileage. driving this car is fun - even in LA traffic
