Acura TL Type S 6MT 5 Year Ownership Review

Acura TL 3rd gen review. Acura review. Manual 6 Speed

[Darklord-etxz]

These 3rd generation TL is a great car.I have a 2006 automatic TL with 259, 000 miles on it.The transmission does have some ware but it still moves down the road.From 2004 to 2006 before the type S was introduced for the 3 generation the TL came stock with 270 hp and it is a blast to drive.

I finally sold my 2004 RSX manual after 16 years of ownership (still runs great, my nephew drives it now). I'm looking at this for my next purchase 2007-08 TL type S manual. My wife askes why not get a newer car but she just doesn't understand. Love these TL's timeless design.

Those copper wires to the starter and ground corrode and snap. That's starter was the only time it left me stranded; Ironically, while I was supposed to be taking my girlfriend to pick up her rental car, when her car broke down

Super helpful vid at the right time for me. Checking out a '06 6MT that has 150k miles for $8000. Based on maintenance records and Timing Belt / Water Pump situation I might try to negotiate a bit lower, but I at least know what the baseline is in this current market.

Just disconnect the factory Bluetooth module, mine still works but I don't use it of course lol.. I should disconnect it before it eventually drains out the battery at some point. Nice review jebus.

BTW, I disagree with your take about the heavy steering, it's one of the best features of this car :p nice hydraulic steering ftw.

found a garage kept tl less then 60k miles for only 10k and copped 🙏🏼

You could always push start a car with a manual if the starter or battery goes out

[GangStarrlife]

engine replacement is ez business and definitely worth it. worst case you invest 2k and the type s is still worth atleast 10k

[Sciron]

I found an 04 base tl 6 manual with 80k miles for $3500, it’s rusty but that’s to be expected for the price

[kalldy]

I have a rsx type S and I was wondering what your opinions are between a nice clean example of these TL type s’s and the Rsx. I really like the design and rare manual 07-08, and the fact that they have LSD. But just debating for now lol

Havr an 2010 6 speed awd. Great daily.

Where did you get that blue tooth module? My front axle broke on my 2008 while driving. The CV boots begin rusting by its 10 th yea. On any Honda80’s and up. Honda’s need simultaneously water pump and timing belt need changing. Lastly the Acura RL 2005 to 2008 share the same engine. Many 3rd gen owners install the 3.5 RL(2005-2008) when the original engine goes bad.

My 07 Type S just turned 212, 000 miles and rear main seal is leaking.

V6 Accord (6MT) is another car too. Might even be faster than the TL-S 😅

Anyways I miss my 3rd Gen TL-S...Might get another.

[jeffreykilla]

Can’t you just push to start your car with a dead starter?

[jordanblem]

Always looking for one of these but they’re so hard to find

[Wj]

If you ever would like to sell. Please let me first in line.

[acesonly]
