I joined the TL SH-AWD

My previous car is 1997 Acura TL 3.2 at 120k miles, great car, never had any major problem with the engine, great impression of Acura's cars.

I bought 2012 TL SH AWD Technology package with 40k miles, clean title at carmax for 24k!
I love the handling on this car even tho this car's mpg isn't very impressive, but it's definitely worth it!

What do you guys think?

Nice pick up! The 4G SH-AWD is a great machine just be aware of the major issues it has: oil comsuption, torque converter and the annoying propeller shaft. Make sure to pay attention to these issues and have the dealer fix them (if appear) while under warranty. Congrats!

This post is relevant to my interests as I recently picked up at 2012 TL AWD myself. If you have the time to spare me, could you give me a quick rundown on each of these three issues you listed?

Is there a known cause and/or fix for the oil consumption?
I quite literally just learned about the torque converter issue for which I think I'm gonna need a tissue.
Annoying propeller shaft sounds extremely interesting! What's that about?

I'm just about to do play with the search function and see what I can find. I would certainly appreciate anything you could tell me!
