New 2013 SH-AWD 6MT!!!

Hello all, long time lurker first time poster. Just picked up a 2013 CBP/Ebony SH-AWD 6MT this past Saturday. Previously had a 2008 base TL followed by a 2011 base TL. Needless to say the ear to ear grin has not left my face since Saturday .

I knew there would be a difference between the base and the SH-AWD but I had forgotten how much I truly love driving a stick. As much as I like it so far I can't wait to get some miles on it to open it up a bit!

Anyway just wanted to say hey. I've found some great info on this site in the past and I'm sure I will now be on here more frequently.

The 6MT club part is what I am loving. It was a royal pain finding a 6MT that was in the color combo I wanted combined with a deal that I found to be reasonable. That being said it was well worth the effort!

Congrats man, both on the new car and the 6MT! I had to jump through quite a few hoops to get mine and needless to say it was well worth the effort. The 6MT is a large part of what keeps me excited to drive my car (after over a year and a half of ownership).

Congrats on the new purchase! The 6MT is an excellent choice and so fun to drive, and SH-AWD is amazing through the turns. Let's see some pics!

I don't mean to steal your thunder, but since this seems like a thread where a lot of V6 owners are coming, I figured it would be a good place to ask something I'm deliberating myself....

To all TSX V6 tech owners, why did you choose to go with it instea of paying ~$1000 more for a TL tech? Is it just the looks of the TL that put you off or....?

I hope you enjoy your 6-6 as much as I have enjoyed mine.

It's been 73,000 miles, now. Not a single issue. Not a penny spent other than predicted maintenance.

And I still find myself stopping my brain every couple of days and thinking, "What a nice car."

^^ Same here. But I only have 22K on mine, but I can't think of a car in this class (or an adjoining class) I'd rather own.

Thanks for all the comments everyone, as I accumulate a few more miles and wind her up a bit more my grin continues to grow. Such a smooth shifting tranny.....got to love it. If the rain would ever end I would give her a nice wax and post some pics.

Well I surpassed the 15 day mark so I will try and post a few pics. Unfortunately my kids "borrowed" my camera so only pics from the phone.

I would have loved to go back to Manual... But I drive in traffic way too often these days. Also could not locate any dark colors locally. I wanted the Graphite Luster but would have "settled" for Black or Blue if pressed. Only the white was available and white is not my fave.

Anyway, best of luck with the new wheels! Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the 6mt club. Let us know how you feel about the clutch and the transmission as the car breaks in and you get used to it.
