Hey guys! I am picking up a CPO 10 TL SH 6 speed w/ Tech pkg on Saturday. It is Black w/ black interior. I am pretty pumped. I need to get out of this 06 Fusion I have been driving around for the last two years, oh the sacrifices we make to buy a house, lol.

Anyway, I have had a few performace cars over the years so it will be nice to move into a more cushy ride with some power to boot. I think I got a great deal on her. A couple of emails got me $3600 off the asking price. They tried playing the "oh this care is game game," I amswered back with "the buyer of this rare car may be even more rare." Boom, hook, line and sinker.

Previous cars in case anyone actually cares:
2004 WRX STi - WRB
2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra - Black
2004 Fordt SVT LIghtning - Electric Blue
2006 Evo IX - Grey
2006 Volvo S60R - Electric Blue w/ Atacama interior (rare)
2004 SVT Lightning - Black
2005 WRX Wagon w/ a full STi swap - Black (I may miss this one the most)

I also have a 68 Bonnevile Convertible and a 70 Land Rover Series 90 for the summer toys.

 

Welcome to Azine and Congrats.....and

Thanks! No pics yet, I don't have the car yet. Plus it's just a stocker for now.

PS I meant Sonic Blue not electic blue on the L & R

 

Welcome to AcuraZine, LJG.

 

welcome!

 

Congratulation and welcome.

I own exactly the same car (2010 TL SH-AWD 6 MT Black on Black, bought new)

The best midsize sport sedan for the money, all I have to say.

Lucky that you did find a 3 pedal one in good shape...they are rare indeed.

You will love it.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to AZ LJG33.

You will really enjoy this forum.

 

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on finding a nice 6 M/T.

 

Good luck with your new TL and welcome to AZ..

 

Congrats......great color/transmission choice!

 

Nice car! Welcome to the forum.

You seem to be a Evo/STI guy. Thinking about own one of those Nissans these days?

 

Thank you everyone for the welcome. I am pretty sure I picked the right car.

If I could afford one, I would think about it. For the money though, I would probably go in a different direction.

 

Welcome! Sounds like you've had some nice rides.

 

Congrats and welcome! Nice choice w/ the 6MT. They are rare and very hard to find used.

 

Thanks! Yeah I had some fun with those cars. No denying that.

Thanks, it is pretty hard to come by and car with a manula these days it seems. My Fusion is a manual, and people are always very surprised to find that out. lol. Not a very sporty car though.

 

Congrats and welcome. Watch that left foot; it tends to get heavy pretty easily.

 

Well I have been driving her since Saturday and I absolutely love it. Who are these people complaining about a "harsh" ride? That seems to be a huge overreaction.

 

Congrats. I hope by cushy you don't mean the ride quality. The suspension on the TL SH-AWD is very stiff and you will definitely feel it on poor road surfaces. But the handling is superb.

 

Congrats! I also own a 2010 CBP 6MT and I love this damn thing more everyday!

 

C'mon man, it is not that bad. Try driving an S60R on the sport setting or an Evo or and STi on aftermarket springs. This thing rides pretty good in comparison.

 

It is a blast so far. Only in it for a few days, but I smile every time I drive it or look at it.

 

It's a good bang for the buck, but I sure wish baby-doll would have let me get the S2K I wanted. But, hmm, funny how the S2K will not fit a child seat...

 

Harsh ride certainly does not describe this car....."stiff ride", "firm ride" yes. But that is also why I love the car. Have you checked your tire pressure? First 2 days I drove mine it had 41/42 psi from the dealer. Now running 34/35 and definetely helped.

I totally agree, I've had mine for 1 month as of yesterday. I like it more every time I drive it. The 6MT is simply too much fun.

Great choice on the color/tranny!

 

It's not bad at all. Just not what I would call "cushy". Maybe you were referring to the interior. The interior is cushy (in a good way) compared to many.

 

When I made my earlier comment, I said stiff, not harsh, and I said the handling was superb. I stand by my comment.

 

LOLOL his previous rides were more harsh and raw than the TL.
I think he'll be able to handle it.

 

Don't worry boys, I wasn't referring to what anyone had said in this thread about the ride. I had read on this forum about the "harsh" ride quality when researching this car.

 

'FIRM' ride.. not harsh LOL

 

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride!

 

Thanks!
