05: Daily driven @ 69010 miles.

JTS97Z28 11-20-2011 06:30 PM

07 Type S 6mt daily driver 69K miles bought used from original owner. TL's IMO arent really weekend summer toys, but they sure make cool daily drivers :-) the car in my sig would be a nice weather toy.

riicky 11-20-2011 06:34 PM

was a DD for the past year and half but it took a lot of beating last winter in the snow so decided to park it this winter and a get a beat!! FTW! :)

cpm06wdptl 11-20-2011 11:07 PM

I usually drive my truck to work but sometimes I get tired of watching the gas gauge move towards empty so fast so I'll drive the TL. Its an 06 6MT with navi and just rolled 50K miles. My Z28 is the summer toy:toocool:

paz840 11-20-2011 11:17 PM

When I had it, my 08 TL-S was my daily driver. 40K+ miles.

NSXTC 11-21-2011 08:23 AM

My '07 TL-S was my DD for the past few years, but I finally got sick of it taking a beating during the MN winters!

Right now she's parked in the warm garage with 24K on it.

I picked up a 1990 Acura Legend with 174K on it for the winter!! :thumbsup:

lazytik 11-21-2011 08:35 AM

Daily driver here. Bought in summer of 2008 with 51k miles, currently sitting a few miles shy of 115k.

jime 11-21-2011 09:47 AM

Daily driver since Dec 10, 2003. Started with 7 miles on the odometer and now has 121,000+. Planning on 4 more years and estimating 180,000K miles before replacement (with 2 year old 2014 TL).

Dino81 11-21-2011 11:05 AM

07 TL-S with 44k DD for about a week more..Might get a Suzuki Sx4

6MTrules 11-21-2011 10:28 PM

DD, just turned 50K miles. Still love rowing the gears even after 6 years of suburban DC driving.

Izzy-Type-S 11-21-2011 11:00 PM

Daily driver and I'm a realtor which is why I have 76k on a 2008. Although we have been driving the MDX more since we got it July 2010.

robocam 11-22-2011 12:50 AM

What year Z28? Is it modded?

I daily my 06 NBP navi 6MT. Bought it at ~77k a couple years ago, and now it's over 104k. It's at the dealer right now getting a new clutch, flywheel, timing belt, and water pump, while I'm trying out a 2011 SH-AWD 5AT loaner =), and I must say, I miss my car! AT just doesn't do it for me. Maybe the gear ratios of the 2012 would, but not the ones of the 5AT. I noticed that the gear ratios of the 6AT are even shorter than the ones of the 6MT. If I were to get an AT, that's the AT I'd want. http://www.acura.com/drivetrain.aspx?model=tl
