New Member - Hello

So I just bought a 2005 Acura TL 6MT with 72k miles and wanted to say hi. Came from the Sentra Spec-V world (let me tell you the online community with that car SUCKED). Traded in my 2006 Spec-V for the TL; wanted something a little classier but not lacking good driving dynamics. Was actually looking for an Audi A4 or a Volvo S60R and just happened across the 6 speed TL at the same dealer and bought it that day.

Loving the car so far; except for my difficulty shifting into 3rd every once in a while. Guess I gotta take it to the dealer and see if they will do out of warranty repair for me; either that or put in some gm synchromesh.

Yea, im loving the 6MT. My fiance was pumped when she found out I was buying a new car thinking it might be something she could drive someday; then I told her I got one with a manual.... oh well.

It's quite a difference coming from my spec-v to this car. I had a nismo exhaust/intake/header, was tuning with an SAFC-2 and had ksport coilovers on it. It was a lot of fun but it was time to move on.

I got an anthracite one; would have liked the burgundy (not sure what the actual color is) with tan interior; but I drove it and fell in love with it and knew how hard manual transmissions are to come by.
