My #1 requirement when I started shopping for a car was that it have a manual transmission because I wanted to force myself to learn. When I realized I could get a slightly used 6MT TL for the same price as all the Hondas/Toyotas/Mazdas I was looking at, I was amazed. When I first saw my NBP with its A-Spec lip kit sitting there on the lot, I was sold.
I really feel like it's the greatest car on the road in this price range. I also feel like it's almost perfect the way it is, so I won't be modding it... much. These forums, however, have a way of pursuading me... no, enlightening me of the many possibilities. I look forward to many proud years of TL ownership.
