I have always been Toyota and American made car driver. well some one gave me a 92 Honda accord and i liked it allot lol. I want to buy an Acura i think a TL 04 or up. I want to know if there is anything I should look for before I purchase. seems all model cars have there quirks. I also wanted to know what models came with a 6 speed manual? and is there any considerable difference in mpg between the manual and automatic tranny?
TIA

 

Good luck finding a manual.

I'm also in the market for a used TL but don't know what to look out for.

I currently have a 100k miles 06 TL for 10k in sights. 1st owner. But needs some body work for scratches. Don't know if that'd be a good deal. No navi.

 

is manual not normally an option on them? how rare is it?

 

It's pretty rare.

If you're dedicated enough, keep looking and you'll be sure to find one.

 

04-06 models came with MT. For 07-08, the only way you can get a MT is to buy a Type-S.
