Good morning all,

After a 3 years I finally made my way back to Acura. I just traded in my 2010 Camaro 2SS for a 2012 TL advance. It was'nt easy but the chevy was not reliable at all. 68K of problem after problem. I used to own a 2005 TL base model and LOVED that car and had always missed that car. I'm back and could'nt be happier.

 

Welcome back to the fold

 

Grats! I moved from the 05 tsx -> 12 rdx -> 13 tl and exponentially got happier with each car. Welcome back!

 

Welcome back!

 

Welcome back! A hot car is like a trophy girlfriend, sometimes the maintenance just is not worth it

 

Thanks guys. I will miss grinding through the gears and driving a standard tranny, but I think I will be very happy with this car. I drive so much that I need a car with more comforts, and I've always had a thing for Acura's. I will miss my camaro no doubt, but with two kids (8) and (3), its worth having the safer family car.

 

Welcome back.

 

Congrats on the TL and welcome back.. Enjoy!

 

Greetings and welcome from Odenton!

 

Welcome to Azine and welcome back to Acura.
Enjoy and post pics ASAYC!

 

When I got my '12 Tech AWD a few months ago it was between that and that exact Camaro, which seems odd but I was either going full speed or a little of both. I still want that Camaro but perhaps as a second car down the road.

Congrats! I love my TL.

 

I loved my camaro, however it was the opposite of reliable. Yes it was very nice to look at, black on black, with black wheels, I will post a pic of both.

However in the past few years here is a short list of problems:
-paint chips, paint peeling off ground effect kit
-replaced the FPCM twice
-Clutch pedal sticking to the floor on many occasions, this was most frequent when launching the car.
-A/C leak-
- 2 months later new compressor, evap, and drier
- spoiler came off partially while driving - fixed my self
-trunk latch replaced
-had third gear completely replaced because of a grinding and bad syncro.

That's all I can think of, with 68k, I just wanted a reliable car, the Honda's don't do anything for me. I've always loved Acura, so I came back.

 

welcome back to this side of the yard! I hope you continue to enjoy your new purchase

 

odd, my buddy's '14 SS 1LE just had all its syncros replaced.
like yours displayed, grinding.

the camaro's are cool! but I dont think I would get one

 

They look amazing IMO, nice ride, but I think its better served as a weekend toy, and not a daily driver. ILEs are real nice cars. They had the car for about 2 weeks, and honestly chevy customer service blows. When I had clutch issues they accused me of abuse right off the bat! I told them one I dont abuse my car, I babied that thing, and second it comes with a launch control feature....

 

Glad you're back with Acura but sorry to hear you had so many problems with your Camaro. I've got a 2014 C7 Stingray-no issues at all to date.

 

THat's the thing I dont understand.
He was racing the motherfucking thing!!!

I dont know if my friend told them that he was; he certainly made it to sound like he told them the truth.

"like why would you build a race car if it cant stand up to racing at the track!?"

was his argument if i remember correctly.

he had the clutch replaced as well.
all under warranty.

and its a brand new '14 SS.
it was probably in the shop more than he had owned it.

 

Totally agree, your going to accuse me of abuse when it has a launch control feature?Granted I tried it once and didn't care for it, preferred to do with all the nanny buttons off.
