KB2 opinions
 
Hey azine fam, I’ve been away for a while. I’ve been itching to get into another Acura, and a very clean 2010 KB2 RL is for sale locally. I know the owner, and it’s been fully serviced recently for timing belt, water pump, valve adjustment etc. it’s got 150k on it, and I’m wondering about some first hand pros/cons. The lack of aftermarket support is my first “con” so far but they seem pretty solid. Thanks!

Long-lasting.

This one is the AWD 3.7, just not familiar with the platform. In the past I’ve had a 98 Integra, 2002 TL-S, 2006 RSX and a 2007 TL tech.

the TL with the 3.7 had some with oil consumption issues...
but for me; someone who likes to work on cars; it would be a non-issue. I wouldnt mind buying the 3.7l whether it be the 6MT SHAWD TL, MDX, or RL.


it's basically the same thing as your past hondas.. .

02-type s If it's a KB2 in general assessment, then with all it's possible little work down the road, it's quite solid still. It's a all around more solid and quality car vs the ones you listed.

As for the car itself, which trim is it? colors? how many previous owners? price? etc. pictures go a loong way for good wishes :)

haha you can tell I’ve been away from the forums for too long, I’m like a newb again lol. It’s a tech package, not sure on owners, listed at 8k.

No, that's my car. I said pics of your car :tongue: That's my color combo. Only those top windows addition make our cars different. I don't like how they look, btw.

Is this tech I or tech II?

For the price this must be a very very clean car. But, I am of course biased.

justnspace 03-12-2019 10:34 AM

I agree with RL09!!!
very clean example!


Will give you 10+ years of service.

I'd buy it :)

RV6 has exhaust pieces and Tein (and a few others) have coilovers

Depends what your looking for, if your looking to "mod" it I would say this is not right platform to pursue. If you want a solid, comfortable vehicle then this is a great choice and I think this is 1 of the best values out there in the used car world.

BTW...I have same color combo but on a 07 with aspec package.

Check this out: https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-rl-p...-951467/page2/

And the KB2 comes with bigger tires, thicker bars, an extra stabilizer bar, and thicker bushings; among other things.

I would say leaving it stock would be unlikely, but basic bolt ons, suspension/wheels/tires etc would be for sure

It’s a tech I, yeah I’m not a fan of the visors either.

Test drive, check if tranny is shifting and hard downshifting like - as the resident Ziners say - 'like butter', etc. And negotiate a lower price a buy it!
