From the RL section:

He bought the RL new and his job involves driving A LOT. In reviewing his posts over the years, he's had an AC problem (common in 2005s), replaced an axle, and of course has done the timing belt thing on a regular basis. Otherwise, he didn't report a whole lot of issues.

Acura needs to recognize him somehow.

BTW, 2G RL FTMFW. Even though I no longer have mine, I am still a big fan of what Acura tried to do here. I am convinced they just screwed up the marketing, and there should have been a FWD variant to increase sales. It is still probably the best all-around car I've ever owned and I can hardly wait to see what Acura does with the 3G RL.

 

Holy...that's a lot of miles....

 

Our 2002 Grand Prix GTP has 305,000 miles (490,000 km's) and still builds boost just fine

Original transmission too.

Sorry, I'm not easily impressed by high mileage cars

 

Damn glad it has been pretty much trouble free for him!

 

that's what i'm hoping to get from my '03

 

I hope my 2G TL will last me to 200k miles. i'm currently at 105000 miles, and it's been with me for the last 7 years.

 

I had a few Pontiac's and with them at 40k miles it felt like they were falling apart. So I am sure yours might have 300k, but you put a heck of a lot of money into it to get it there vs the Acura.

 

My old mans 02 RL with 135k miles is starting to have tiny issues here and there. Of course im the one who has to deal with it. Blah!

Searching for what is causing the Evap code currently..

Still a tank otherwise!

 

300k in less than four years impresses me. This guy drives a lot...

 

Pretty damn amazing! Great story.

 

Honestly, not really. There's no timing belt to worry about, the power steering pump was replaced in warranty and the rest has been little things.

That, however, is impressive.

 

Damn.
I've heard of Hondas with several hundred thousand miles...but an '05.


Damn.
That's a lot of driving.

 

I don't have a 2005 RL

 

thats insane ... gotta love the honda reliability

 

LOL ... it too me a few seconds to get this one

 

 

I saw this. That's a LOT of driving.

 

that's a lot of seat time.

 

Its niice to see somebody from our community, and the same equipment going the distance.
Kudos to the owner and Acura/Honda

 

I'm at 170500 on my 2g tl. I'm hoping it will hit 200k. And hopefully by that time i will be able to afford a new car

 

Over here, people get rid of their cars at 3 - 7 years because of taxes. So it's not unusual to pick up a car (like my wife's van) with low mileage (13K Km, 4 years old. Now 9 years old with 50K Km on it). Just the opposite of the 305K RL. nice to see, though.

 

That's what you get for having a generic user name!

 

Good for him.


Personally, I've had my '03 TL-S since January of '03, bought new. So it's been well over 7.5 years and about 140k on the odometer.

Transmission, both CVs, engine mounts, minor annoyances here and there with parts failures, CD changer acting up... Just to list some of the problems I've had.

 

please pm me if u find the culprit. ive had one for almost a year now

 

damn! Hope mine last's that long. I'm only at 75k on my 05 TL...Thats awesome!

 

 

I have 360k miles on my 2g tl and it has cost me a shit ton in transmissions (5 of them) I would probably be closing in on 500k miles if it werent for all the down time replacing trans and converting it to a manual.

 

It still takes me several attemps to read and comprehend your posts, because I get distracted by your avatar.

Strange, very strange... yet fascinating.

 

how long have you had your tl for?

 

Awesome. These are for you:

 

get it smoked that'll help you pin point it quickly.

 

Thats around 60k miles a year... thats crazy, but its a Acura... meant to last.

 

That's nuts. I average upper 20's every year and thought that was a lot.

 

Bought it new with less than 5 miles 10 years ago this week.

 

 

That's getting up there is the kms/miles. I have 369,845 kms right now on my 99 integra, and it's still the OEM engine, just goes to sure that Honda engine last a long ass time.

 

Nice. My dad bought ours 10 yeas ago, either this week or last week, I forgot.

 

Hmm...missed this post of his.



That's awesome though.

 

That's pretty good, that's alot miles in 5-6 years. My wife's 2003 Pilot has 165K miles which we got in 2002 and I thought we drove that alot.

 

I took a easier route I got my 3G TL with a 6MT. I wanted a manual, didn't trust the 5AT for reliability, and all the other goodies that came with it (Brembo, Torsen-type diff, stiffer bars,...)
