2002 Acura TL Type S from North America - Off Topic Comments

What the heck do you mean by massive repairs? Those only happen on TL's and some Odysseys that were built between 2002-2004. Now face it. The ones built outside of that range do not have massive repairs like your average domestic car. You guys are propagandising off 3 years of transmission up heavel at Honda for your gain. Now whether or not your work a car dealer we will never know, but one thing is for sure is this crap about having problems with 2000 or newer Honda's. I have to add that most of those repairs are covered under warranty. And for one thing, you guys seem to think that just getting 30 mpg is good. well a Colbalt can get 35 right? Well a dam Accord can get 34 and that is a lot bigger than the Colbalt. A new Civic can get 40 mpg's. So the domestics are still stuck in the 90's. This does not even account for the japanese cars or German cars that can get over 40 mpgs. Lay down your little argument that the 2000 and newer cars need more repairs. Does a tune up on my 2000 or newer Honda mean Honda is going down the tubes? NO! my car had friggen 145,000 miles and still runs great, in fact like new! Try doing this in your Regal, or Lacrosse, or whatever the name is now.

Hmmm maybe you paid more for your GM's because they were 2007 models? If you are that guy that bought trucks instead of a car maybe you bought a truck? You won't get out the door on a new Tahoe or Yukon for less than 30k. Could it be all that magical metal that allows the truck to get 15 miles per gallon? I hope this helps you out with your pondering on why you paid more for a GM because it was not an Impala or a Cobalt pal!

Price a brand new Honda Acura RL sedan when you get a chance. It is the closest equivalent to a new Legend in its day. The TL is more of a sports sedan than a luxury sedan. I almost considered a new Acura SUV when I traded my TL, but went with a black Trailblazer SS. SUV's are obviously not sports sedans... but with a family and not wanting to give up performance we are happy to date owning a SUV that is pretty exhilarating to drive. I'd still rather have a Porche SUV Cayenne Turbo, but the Trailblazer SS 390 hp is not sedate. I progressed with Hondas with more hp and having VTEC's I cannot visualize driving anything without decent performance. I run 93 octane as in the past just a bit more than before.

I agree with the comment left here on June 2nd.Yes, many people drive their Vehicles much too harshly, especially with regard to peeling out from Stop Signs and Braking severely at the last minute. These are the Folks who are going to suffer Transmission troubles. I am afraid that some Folks think that a car is unbreakable just because it is a higher priced Vehicle. This can only serve to give the Manufacturer a bad reputation.
