New TL Tech

I picked up a 2012 tl tech last month from MOTORCAR ACURA (BEDFORD OHIO ). It is a great car. MPG could be better (24) city, but i am comming from a camry hybrid. It will be checking often. I learn many things from you guys.

Congrats and welcome - enjoy your new ride! PS - don't change your oil until MID tells you to or 1 year passes as per the manual. Acura uses a special break-in oil from the factory so it should be kept in at least that long.

I change the oil once the quality gets down to around 15%

Congrats Puma.

How does the TL feel coming from a Camry Hybrid? I ask this because I almost bought a Camry Hybrid before I settled on my Type S. I actually put a downpayment on one and rescinded it after I drove the Type S! It wasn't easy getting my deposit back....

The camry hybird is a nice car, it will get you from to A to B . The new ones look much better.- mine was a 2009'. The tl much sharper , faster more toys on it. It is hard to beat the camry's MPG with any car. I think a saved enough gas with the camry to have some fun with the tl.

The camry is a vey nice car, it's a shame that here in NYC the camrys are used for livery car service. In other words you look like a private cab driver. Hey puma your car looks hot enjoy it.
