Ok, I was debating on which car to get. G35 or 2006 Aspec TL.. Went with the G because the TL sales rep didn't know shlt....

I asked for the Aspec version of the TL, blk on blk manual and fully loaded.. Dude wanted to sell me a base model, automatic and some dark blue color.

Anyways, i''m started to feel that I should have gotten the TL. Too many problems with the G35.. See SIG.

So, to the question... Can you guys Recirculate the cabin air w/o having the AC on? The stupid G35 requires the AC to be on to recirculate cabin air.. It even wants the AC on if I want to recirculate the air with the heater on.. WTF?

LOL ... i feel your pain bro .... as for the TL, there are two buttons: one is AC on/off, the other is cir. air inside/outside .... of course there are some combinations like you choose to vent the air to the front windows, then AC is on automatically ...

trancemission

yes, you can recirculate the cabin air without having the A/C on.

You can recirculate the air with the AC off.

There is no A spec "version" of the TL, it is a dealer installed accessory, same as body side molding or all season mats.

, but it is an A-spec package which includes Rear spoiler, body kit, suspension, rims, steeringwheel and brakes if an automatic.

Ok thanks guys.. I should of gotten the TL. Because I had a Type R b4 and that car had a lot more "spunk" then my G.. The G feels stale and unconfortable to drive. The leather feels like vinyl and after 30min it gets very unconfortable.

So theres no Aspec version, but I wanted a sports version so in any case, the sales rep guy should of known how to sell me all the other goodies I wanted, instead of showing me a base AT model.

acura > infiniti

Now there is the TL-S, which is the sport version. Then you can get the dealer installed a-spec package which will include a bodykit, firmer suspension, 18" rims with High performance Tires, Upgraded steering wheel and the badging.

This is true, but keep in mind that you would have to get the 07 or 08 model to have a TL-S option.
...depending on how much of a performance nut you are, you could always get the 06 6MT and supercharge it...probably still be less than a TL-S...just a thought

^ Thats exactly what I wanted, but the sales rep looked at me confused when I mention the ASPEC kit.

Anyways, it's good to know that Acura didn't fuk up their climate control system. Also, your navigation stystem is a lot better. My 06 G35 has an old school DOS operating system, joystick controlled Navigation system.

Instead of a Touch Screen, GUI interfaced...

I believe acura/honda went touchscreen back in 2004?

Ours is semi-touch screen.. I like lexus NAVI much better.. Easier to use plus all touch screen..

csmeance

Acura has had touch screen since like 2000. Also the great thing is that you can use the navi while in motion unlike lexus, nissan, infiniti and other companies. Acura is for that garbage.

csmeance

The navi on the 2004-2006 TL's were really good when they came out, but the 07+ ones are amazing. If I were looking for a TL and wanted power, get a used 05 TL and supercharge it with the hondata reflash, easy increase of 110 WHP. Add some other stuff to such as exhaust, High flow cats, weight reduction and other things that can't be put on the TLS, you will have a sleeping beast.

There is a hack on LExus that makes you bypass that no navi while driving thing..

That's great news! Do you have a link to this? My Rx needs that fix ASAP ... LOL ... and that Lexus community is pretty lame comparing to this one ... at least the SUV section that is ...

csmeance

really? thats pretty cool, lets see if these people can hack up the 07+ tl to get rid of the ok button.
