Finally decided on 2012 SH AWD

Hi all,
The wait is over. Just pick up the 2012 SH-AWD black on black today. The interested rate is insanely low, can't beat 1.4% at credit union.
The car looks beautiful but for some reason it doesn't have the trunk lid ... i thought all 2012 TL should have it. Look at the paperwork, both carfax and auto check said it's 2012.

They have the spoiler either painted or unpainted from 141 dollars.

It needs a trunk lid spoiler. It makes a bit difference. Congrats on the new ride.

Thanks guys.
Only have it for one day but i really like it. The car handles well and stable at high speed. Love the high tech interior and i'm supprise it's spacious. Only one complain so far, my 2001 Accord V6 has the plastic tray in the trunk, the TL doesn't.....

Yup it's like $120 from the dealer but I'd recommend getting the all season mats for the interior as well. Congrats on your purchase!

Thanks guys.
I just take 120 miles trip today and this is my impression.
Cons:
  • Blind spots are ridiculous for this car..
  • Premium gas a must
  • Even the interior is spacious, getting in and out is still a little challenge for me and i'm only 5-7... maybe i should set the memory seat hope that will help.
  • Passenger seat belt warning is really annoying..i believe only driver should wear seat belt and that is adequate enough.
Pros:
Once I start the car and drive for a few minutes, I completely forget about on the cons. The car handles really well like it was on track. Making turn at moderate speed is really fun, way better than the front wheel version.
After the trip, i'm 110% confidence this is the car for me...
