I think the S might be for PIECE OF S*HT. LoL

 

and why might you even think that?

 

ha, haha, ha..... you're so funny...


ha

 

Probably because it's not as fast as an M3 nor as comfortable as a Rolls Royce...

 

S=Sport?? Maybe?
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a POS but it isn't as fast or as comfortable but...it's still one hell of a car!!

 

dont forget almost cost 1/2 the price of the m3 and could buy 10 TL-S's for the price of a rolls

 

Nope it's just from the 1st week i got this TYPE-S it's been nothing but one PROBLEMS and im sick of this car and ive only had it for 2 months.

 

what kind of problems?
ive have 132,000 trouble free on mine

 

Type-S stands for Speed, Type-R stands for Racing. TypeSWork, you don't even belong in this forum if you think it stands for a piece of sh*t.

 

I have a 02 with 22000 miles and the 1st thing was the tranny the 1st week then like the 3rd week same thing then the belt then the rotors. I almost losT MY JOB cuz i had to keep asking for days off and just a big mission that i really dont need right now im sure a bunch of you guys feel the same.

 

Don't confuse Type-S for Sport. Toyota Corolla's Type-S stands for Sport and its base model is lighter=faster than their Sport model.

 

THIS IS FOR vtec 6300 this has nothing to do with your car so chill out buddy.

 

Im happy with the speed when the tranny doesn't slip or whatever else may happen when i punch it.

 

a belt with that few miles? warped rotors are a given (i havent driven a car or rotors i havent warped) to me with any car so i cant complain about them. and my tranny issues have been delt with by my dealer professonially so i cant complain 1 bit about the car

 

a TL is also not an M3 or Rolls $$$$, u usually get what u paid for, great car for under $34K.

 

doesnt s standfor "sport" or "special" idk jw

 

Sorry you're having so much trouble. The tranny and rotors are known issues, but any belt repair at that few miles is suspicious. Have you thought about running a CarFax (or similar) report on it? I know CarFax is not perfect, but if the previous owner bailed because of an accident or flood damage or whatever, you should know.

 

Haha.. sucks to be you. Normally I would post a message of consolation but just because you've had problems and also thought that "S" stood for $hit, I will conclude that that's exactly what's in your head. I've had NO problems, not even tranny, but even I realize that not everyone's experience with this car will be the same. Maybe the Type S badge on your TL (and only yours) stands for Type-Stupid. Don't hate because you had bad luck.

 

Hey everyone I was being sarcastic (see the "rolling eyes"?)...

Generally when people say the TL-S is a piece of $hit it's because they thought it would be as fast an an M3 and as comfortable as a Rolls Royce...

Obviously, TypeSwork doesn't think that but I've seen several threads ripping the TL-S for those reasons.

 

I don't think he even has a TL-S. He's just regurgitating every problem that has been written on this forum. Anyone can name those problems after reading 5 posts. All three happening to one car in a matter of three weeks? I deal with enough BS at work, don't need to see it in my "pleasure reading" material.

 

Unless that's really his car in the gallery . . .

YES GUY IM MAKING IT UP. I WISH I REALLY DIDNT HAVE IT MY SELF.

YO YOUR A FUNNY GUY MAN YOU SHOULD TRY SOME STAND-UP COMEDY.

:FUNNY GUY HERE:

 

Glad you understood what I was getting at, and at the same time found my insulting statements funny as well.

 

"After reading 5 posts"??.. If this is your opinion (and it is correct BTW) I'd say this car has a "small" (boarding on Medium) quality problem. It becomes large when the freakin dealer doesn't do what it should!

I would not Call this car S**T. nor did I purchase it thinking I'd be getting an M3. Its a great car for the cash until (or if) the problems start.

 

TypeSWork, when you had these problems brought to a dealer, didn't they give you a loaner?? If you take it in at 7:30am when they open, get a loaner, you can still get to work on time and then pick your car up after work. I was just curious cause you said you almost lost your job asking for days off.
I think we all have our share of problems with this car, but you'll find that almost any car has its own share. Even my dad's Lexus has problems. G'luck with your car, hope it starts behaving herself soon.

 

Type S is ripped off!

hchhon

 

Do you honestly believe that you lost your job because you took too many days off for car repairs? You may need a reality check. It may have been the quality of your work, or lack thereof.

Anyway, I know I only paid 30k for the car, so I'm not expecting 40k+ quality. I got what I paid for and had my minor issues resolved.

 

He's just venting. Maybe the car was not what he expected. I'd suggest a Grand-Am or a Malibu instead (for quality and reliability). Maybe they make those car on models with vowels.

As for the meaning of the "S", we can only speculate. There's so many out there: Type R, Type SH, S-Type, S, LS, who knows but the manufacturer.

 

He's a troll. BAN HIM!!

 

Sell me your springs if you decide to get rid of your car

 

sorry but typeswork u must be a jack***...its not your fault just blame it on your DNA..

 

i thought it was like this.


tl-p......tl-s...

p q r s

get it!.

 

type-s is for speed i guess? but as far as a great car goes i dont think so.. i would have gotten maxima 6spd for that price but what i do like about tl-s that i wish i had is the sportshift aka triptronic..

 

ALL YOU FOOLS OUT THERE WITH YOUR LITTLE TYPE-S WITH 2 OR 3 TRANNY REPLACEMENTS ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE PROBLEMS CANT YOU SEE THIS WILL NEVER FIXED. BUT FU*CK IT I GOT MY NEW RIDE THIS WEEKEND A LEXUS GS400 SPORT. NO NEED FOR ME TO POST HERE ANYMORE SO GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU CUZ YOUR GOING TO NEED IT.

FU*CK :tflamer:ACURA:rocketwho

 

I bet this idiot never had a Type S. If anything, he's trying to justify the price he paid for his little GS400 sport (which I doubt he even has). Man, he didn't even have the balls to get the GS430. BTW, no tranny problems in 31 months of ownership here. Just a squeaky sunroof which was fixed by the dealer promptly. Even with Lexus, you'll see your share of problems, although I suspect the quality is a tad above Acura's. Oh, BTW, learn how to construct proper sentences in the English language so that others can more efficiently understand what you're saying.

 

Here's the crap i use to have.

 

Another shot of the crap...

 

I will be selling my floor mats and my M5 trunk spoiler. Never had time to get my M5 spoiler on its brand new.

Vandy, I'll make sure I use MICROSOFT WORD next time I post.
:lol1:
