cooltl2012

After lurking on this forum for about 2 years, I finally bought my 2012 TL Tech Package FWD. Basque Red Pearl with Parchment interior. I have had the car for two weeks now and after putting 1200 miles I am very happy with it. I am getting 26 miles for a gallon with mixed driving. The ride is just right a bit on the firm side without being too harsh. It simply glides on the freeways and I really need to watch how fast I am going. The sound system is the best I have come across. The interior is great with the brush metal finishes. I have found the cabin to be really quiet at freeway speeds. The navigation display has noticeably sharp clarity. I need to get used to the valet key thing. Its a bit strange that the main key fob needs to be handed to the parking attendant while I keep the piece that detaches from it which can only open the doors but not start the car. Another thing to get used to is people in other cars giving the second look. For some reason I have noticed it is only other Acura, BMW and Infinity drivers.
Thank you to all the contributors on this forum who posted such useful information about the car.

Congratulations. I just bought the same car yesterday in Graphite/Ebony. What kind of car did you have prior?

Congrats! Wow, your mileage is wonderful! Coming from a 2012 SH-AWD I am a little envious... :-) So far, I only have about 750 miles or so on my car and I am getting about 20.5 mpg, and I have not done too much highway driving. So I am quite happy about this, but your mileage is spectacular!

Please show us some pics soon :-)
