Finally Back in a TL 6spd manual this time!

I had a '11 SH-AWD tech that we had to trade in for an SUV. Ever sense we knew we will buy another TL and it will be manual (mainly my wife's idea which I supported 100%), so today Picked up a 2010 6spd manual TL from a private party which has less than 30k miles he bought it as a certified car in 2012 with only 9k miles on it.


So it feels great getting back in A rare 6spd manual with such low miles and still have the certified warranty for couple of more years on it for the power train. I was looking almost daily for the last 3 months on dealer sites and other car website to see when one will come up for sale around my area, Will post pics up once weather gets nice and I can wash and detail the car. Its black on black.

that's true right there. If we didn't have another vehicle, my wife would definitely NOT be OK driving a manual. Fortunately, she has her car, I have my car. May the worlds never collide, unless of course I need to drive her car

Haha, thats my battle right there. We each have our cars, I drive nearly all the time anyway if we are both going somewhere, but her argument is always "Well what if..."

I get it to an extent, but it just seems to unlikely to ever come into play.

What if is why I got the auto. Lol. Plus I still have my 6spd TSX as my daily so I don't really mind. We have the best of both worlds and the TL is a combination of the 2. Congrats on the 6spd though and welcome back.

Congratulations, I'm jealous, looking for a manual myself but they're so hard to find. Supposedly the TL has one of the nicest feeling manuals on the market.

Thanks everyone, The 6spd transmission makes the car totally different from my auto I had. Our lease ends next month for the accord she had and there was no way she was going to not get this car if we had to wait for one to come up for sale for a whole year.
Our other car is the Honda ridgeline so we now have the best of both world from honda, the ridgeline for utility and the TL for fun. We are pretty good at sharing cars so we planned to get both cars to have the best of both worlds.
