2012 Acura TL SH-AWD w/6MT
By Sherman on 11/25/2024 7:37:52 PM
Was looking for a daily driver to replace a '97 Lexus LS400. Even though the LS400 had just 100K miles, it was getting too expensive to maintain. Wanting something that performed like and was as comfortable the LS400. The deal breaker was that this replacement daily driver MUST have a manual transmission (the LS was only the second automatic I've ever owned). Drove 1,200 miles to get this TL SH-AWD Technology Package with 200K miles and couldn't be happier. I'm the third owner and the interior and exterior are still immaculate. As soon as I got it home, I changed all the fluids, brake pads/rotors, adjusted the valves and replaced the timing belt/water pump. All regular maintenance items for a car with over 200K. Also replaced all of the original, 12 year old suspension components. Compression and leak down tests were also impressive for an engine with so many miles. A true testament to the durability of Honda/Acura engines. The only non-regular repairs I've done is replace the shifter cables and one brake caliper. After driving it for an additional 37K miles, it's been bulletproof reliable, has surprisingly good MPG (21 combined) when driven "spiritedly", and impressive handling for a 12 year old car without active suspension. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country at the drop of a hat and would enjoy every mile. I'll never sell my TL and my estate will have to deal with this car after I'm gone. - 5.0
Don't even count the miles until 200k
By PossumDog on 2/6/2024 7:27:02 PM
I have been the sole owner of this car for ~12 years and just passed 200k! Anyone who says this car is not reliable didn't take care of theirs. I've changed the oil twice a year since I've owned it and the only incident I've had was my alternator going out once in 2021. It is a great car with easy handling, quicker acceleration than some sports cars, and very good gas mileage. My only complaint is the pleather they use for the interior is cheap and tears after a few years, but that has never been important to me. - 5.0
Perfect Car Indeed.

I purchased it new. 13 years later and 180k miles all I ever did beside regular maintenance is replace the timing belt, tires and brake pads. It doesn’t get any better than this. Ride is excellent and handles great. Reliability at its finest.
