Hey guys, I'm picking up an 06 TL, 6 Speed this saturday and was wondering if any of you have had experience with them. Would like any last second advice you could provide before I sign on everything. I've enjoyed my TSX I've had since October, but I just can't stand having an automatic any longer!

Do a tranny swap on the TSX! IMO, they are much nicer cars than TLs. Or upgrade to a type-s.

off topic, but does your tsx have tiptronic?

I love the look of the TL so much more than the tsx. Plus, 6 speed and nav is what I really wanted, my tsx is non navi. It's got Acura's sport shift or whatever name they call it.

I don't have any experience with them but they seem to be excellent cars hopefully it all works out. I wish my SI was a six speed. K swap time!

Nice cars, but could never afford Premium gas only. I rather get a Lexus over these things.

I'll pay the extra $3 per fill up. Got it on Saturday and have been loving it! I'll try and get some pics of it and post them up here.

Sucks for me that premium isn't the typical $3-5 more per fillup that everyone else says it is.. It's definitely $10 (more if I end up at Shell) more each tank than 89. Post pictures ASAP!
