Review: 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD

[@seana985]

Criminally underrated car.

[@Maelstrom8]

Agreed. People held onto their issues with the styling of the original version and ignored everything else that the car got right.

[@vincestone5465]

@@Maelstrom8 bingo✅ well said. Personally if it had the tech package I thought it looked so sick. The tail in the back. The look of the car was futuristic. I loved that car

[@kevinandrew_]

Agreed with the all of the above. I think another part of it though was that Acuras of this era weren't all that appealing brand new vs the competetion, but now that everything from this year is well out of warranty this is a great used buy compared to the Germans.

[@BryanW916]

Agreed. I love my 6MT. Such a blast to drive

[@rustyegg2383]

I bought a 3rd gen and I can happily say it isn’t worth it unless it’s an 07 to 08 my transmission exploded like 6 months into it

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Wow a double, first the first generation TLX, and now a 4th generation TL :) Both the TLX and TL are criminally underrated Japanese sport sedans. Sure this TL wasn't the amazing 3rd generation from 2004-2008, but Acura putting their amazing SH-AWD system in the TL finally gave it the amazing driving experience it needed, since the FWD limits showed on the 3rd generation, even if that car didn't really feel like FWD when you started to hustle that around. Also, that amazing 3.7L J37 VTEC V6, you can never get tired of listening to a Honda V6. It's music to my ears. And the fact that this TL has 127,000 miles and it still looks fairly nice on the inside, and it still drives nice shows that Honda reliability. Very good resale value because of its durability.

[@vincestone5465]

Had one. 276k miles was still running strong. Some drunk driver in my neighborhood crashed into it while I was sleeping. Still miss that car. Interior was soo nice imo (had the tech package). It was manual with grizzly supercharger

[@UR2SLO4ME]

Got one of these as my first car 4 years ago with 150k on it, she just passed 190k now still running great. Don’t think I could find a replacement for it without spending 20k+, these are wonderful cars.

[@markf7066]

I’ve got a 2014 TL with 150K on it. After 10 years, it still drives and feels just as good as it did when I first drove it home from the dealer. That says a lot. I’ve said many times that it’s a very under the radar car that far exceeds everything I expected. It is a GREAT car. My biggest fear is when it’s finally time to replace it, will I like my next car as much after 10 years on the road?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience Mark! It's great to hear that it's treated you well all these years!

I feel the same way with my 2010 6mt. Although i did a lot of modifications on mine. I will be looking for the same specs when I'm in the market for another ride and it's impossible lol. I'll be keeping it forever anyway.

[@efthimios]

Yes we had a 2007 and 2011 mdx and ran them both up to almost 200k miles these are over engineered cars and very mechanically tough almost Toyota like but with more sportiness

Does your TL consume oil? My J37 is super thirsty

[@MrNemo721]

Almost bought one back in 2015, went for a G37x ultimately for the RWD feel. Still one of my favorite sedans recommended it to my brother and he bought one later.

[@realbeetlejuice]

how was the G37x?

[@MrNemo721]

@@realbeetlejuice solid handling, quick, fantastic reliabilty- had it for 5 years didnt spend anything except maintenance and consumables. Ate through tires and brakes and guzzled gas though.

[@jacquesc3166]

You were heavy on the throttle I'm guessing. I see 9-11 L/100 km in Ottawa when I commute, and 8 ish L/100 km on trips. Very efficient VVEL system makes it torquey down low, there's a lot more valvetrain magic going than in the J37 (TL). My '13 G is at 192K km, I've had it for 7 years and no sign of slowing down.

[@mephisto212]

Hilarious, I just traded in my bimmer for a G35, and was considering a TL as well. I was getting sick of turbo lag everywhere and the transmission doing so much work. I'd rather be burning through gas and tires than having to wait for downshifts and turbo spool.

Currently have a ‘21 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T. Loved all of my Acuras. And I love my current Accord now too. All were great cars.

[@DoubleO7-11]

TL is an amazing car… “modern” offerings can’t compete

[@christiang7024]

The legacy of these cars is why I bought my most recent! Picked up a 2023 TLX A-Spec SH-AWD this year and after 12K miles so far since March, I LOVE how it drives and acts on the road. First turbo car too. I traded an Accord V6 for it and, in my experience, is THE next step up from my previous car. Looking forward to the next 100K+ miles in this one!

I'm saving my cash for 2022-23 Genesis GV70 3.5tt. Could run for any TLX like yours but ready to move onto SUV luxury & power from my 2013 TL SHawd. Hope I'm making a good choice come spring. Kinda scared..

[@maxwellll2]

I look at my 2012 Acura TL SH AWD, and I see that the interior and finishing materials give a head start to many modern sedans. that is, my 2012 actually looks like 2016 or 2017. I want to sell it, but when I watch videos like this I always think: Damn, maybe I don’t need to sell, maybe this is the best thing I can have

Nice. My Mom recently bought one of these a few months ago. Its a 2012 3.7L SHAWD 6MT that had 125,000mi on the odo when purchased. I was so surprised that she bought a 6MT, because shes almost 70, lol! Im IN LOVE WITH THE CAR! I look for excuses just to drive it. Im VERY surprised by how well the car has held up as a whole. The previous owner had thorough service records, most of which at an Acura dealership. There is 1 bad rattle that occurs in/on the rear package tray when a song with a lot of bass plays(Ill fix it in 2 weeks), but other than that, there are ZERO squeaks or creeks with the chassis, body or rest of the interior. I replaced the pcv valve, cleared the headlight lenses, changed the oil & filter, changed the transfer case fluid, changed the MTF, changed the rear diff fluid, installed Acura logo puddle lights, fixed the roll-top like center console cupholder cover, fixed the rear seat armrest cupholder door, fixed a rear seat headrest release button, repaired a few tears on the inside bolsters of both front seats, replaced 2 interior door pull handles that were scratched, and I installed some interior led footwell lights. Now the car is in almost "like new" condition, lol. I honestly think that its a really good looking car as well; its white btw.

I bought the RDX with modifying it on my mind. The engine is pretty much a de-tuned version of a Civic Type R. If 2.0T accords with bolt on’s and upgraded turbos can achieve 400+whp I’m sure it’s the same story for the RDX as well.

I owned both second and 3rd generation TLs. Both great cars. The 4th generation was really a sales disaster. Sales dropped over 50% compared to the 3rd generation sales figures. I remember an Acura sales acquaintance saying of the 2009 TL: “How the hell are we supposed to sell this?”

[@mephisto212]

It's hard to argue with the instant torque of a naturally aspirated 3.7L v6. Even though the 0-60 numbers are probably lower than something like a 2012 wrx, the instant torque will still make it feel faster in day to day driving. And when you compare this to modern 2.0L turbo cars, those things make you wait for almost an entire second before building enough boost for the first part of the turbo to kick in at 1500rpm, it's an awful experience and terrible when you're changing lanes on the freeway in traffic.

[@mephisto212]

Not to mention you have all the reliability of these normal port injected engines. These TL's do have timing belts but the VQ engines in the g35/g37 don't. You also don't have the extra failure point of the oil filter housing mixing coolant and oil which is common on modern cars also (I think all german cars now and newer fords have this terrible design).

[@badbaddolemike]

My Mom actually just bought one of these a few months ago. Its a 2012 SHAWD 6MT with 125,000mi, and honestly, its friggin awesome! I love driving it and find myself looking for things to do or places to go, just so I can drive it, using the excuse that it gets better mpgs than my suv, lol. One thing, eventhough this has a V6, it still has the same characteristics as Honda 4 cylinders, meaning if you wanna move, you gotta rev it out. For a V6, it doesnt have much low rpm torque to me, but I like that, because it gives an excuse to rev the shit out of it, lol.... If you drive it hard/rev high, it will probably burn about 1 to 1.5qts of oil between oil changes.... I really like the SHAWD system too, when doing a u-turn, if you are aggressive with the throttle, the rear end "slides" around nicely.
