New owner intro
Hello!
Just bought my first Acura and wanted to say hi. Got a 2013 Acura TL SH-AWD with the Advanced package, 27k miles..white with black interior...
LOVED the drive into work today. Was a bit overwhelmed at all the tech that's in this car...looking forward to learning a lot from y'all.

Thanks, appreciate it. Looks like a great community here..
any tips and tricks for newbies like me? I'm coming from a 2008 VW Passat - the TL's stance is so much more aggressive!

Thanks..will definitely try that. I put in the exact address last night on my way back from the dealer and it took me to an incorrect address. I chalked that one to outdated map data...

I was looking for a full size sedan with AWD and reliability for under $30k. The TL checks all those. I might have stayed with a newer model Passat but I couldn't find one with AWD (4Motion) with a warranty plus I have always heard good things about Acura. I had short listed other cars (BMW 328i, MB C300) but I got to test drive the TL first. Never did end up going to test drive the others lol....

welcome to the group!
tip: if you didn't already know slide your side view mirror switch to either left or right when you go into reverse the mirror will auto tilt down to whichever selection you made.

The TL does not have auto folding side mirrors when parked right?

Quick question: I noticed the shifting in the first and second gears is not smooth sometimes. Do the 2013's suffer from the torque convertor issues as well? It's ever so slight and am wondering if it's me not having driven a TL before or an actual issue.

I will keep a closer eye on it; literally just bought it CPO this Monday!
Thanks.

When you put the car into "S" mode (where you can use the paddles and it will hold it's gear), just be aware that the car will not hold 1st gear and will auto upshift to 2nd gear for you.
