Well we have had an 03 Tl type s for about 6 years and the tranny finally died friday with 150000 miles. My wife has been wanting a new car so we picked up an Acura TL SH-AWD tuesday I love the car so far just been driving it a couple days now and it is GREAT just have to figure out all the buttons and what they do.

Congrats Robert-welcome to AcuraZine. Enjoy your new ride.

By the way, well done-completely skipping over the 3rd Generation and going right for the 4G!

I don't realize how much I enjoy this feature until I drive another car without it. It seems like such a hassle now to have to take the keys out of my pocket...haha

Congrats on your new ride, love the color choice.

On a side note, the SH-AWD wheels on the 10' are the best factory wheels on any 4G IMO. Great choice man!

Congrats and welcome to the 4G family.

I too had a '02 TL-S before, and I traded it in as soon as the already-replaced-once tranny showed the tell-tale signs of yet another potential failure, and with no more extended warranty coverage.

What did you do to your crippled TL ? Did you get the tranny fixed ?

That dreaded tranny. I had an 02, with 4 transmission failures. Loved the car, hated the tranny, and got rid of it before it died on me out of the extended warranty. At least Acura came to the plate and fixed it everytime and gave me a loaner. My present TL and MDX's have been problem free. Knock on wood.

Agreed, in fact my son, who has an 09 TSX, has been eyeing them, and they are exposed as I have my winter rims on. I may have to be locking them up. lol.

I took it in on the trailer when we bought the otherone and traded it. I didn't want to fool with fixing it just too busy right now.
