Use the hand brake hill start and or 2nd gear start. If you have issues rolling back use the hand brake to keep you from rolling and let off clutch while applying throttle and letting off hand brake. Cars can be started in 2nd gear as well they just take more time and effort for the clutch and engine to catch but prevents wheel spin and torque in less than desired driving conditions.

The 2012 TL SH-AWD is the most fun car I have ever owned. One time Google thought I was "flying", probably going too fast, but fun. Then another time I was racing a 370Z and came to a sharp hump with a steep drop and he braked, I didn't. It was the first time I ever caught air in a car on a city road, a lot different than a 4x4 on some back-road. Damn car was a freakin Tank and a Fighter Jet all in one with an interior of First Class; "Umber" like peanut butter. And I am 6'8" could sit comfortably with heated/cooled seats was a dream every day. Sold it to go a new direction in life, but thinking very heavily of getting another next year. That SH-AWD system is amazing, for a "Stock" vehicle drifted like a dream in all weather conditions.

As an owner of a 2008 Acura TL I can definitely say that the exterior is an amazing feat of engineering. One thing I will say though if you really trying to Hot Rod the car it's going to take a lot of money and a lot of patience most of the modifications you will find is for the engine hardly any for the transmission and they do sell turbo and Supercharger kits for this car considering you have changed out internals in the engine any styling modifications the sky's the limit tbh if you are thinking of picking up this car please do yourself a favor and find the 2007 through 2008 Type S although rare in a little more expensive preferably with a manual transmission 👍

But yes... after 4 years of beating it while doing all the maintenance early. It met its maker... trans went. And yes. I did service the trans.

Ive owened several Acura TL. Starting with the early 2000 TL then i had 02,Several 3g TL and ive driven the 4g. Best choice is manual transmission 3g or 4g tl and they are very higly dependable cars. Only problems ive had was the common bluetooth module that eats up your battery in 2 days. Most expensive of course the timing belt service which should be replaced every 100k plus miles. Not too many boost options sadly. Its either the old comptec supercharger or custom turbo or finally the rotrex supercharger made by gerzand that i think its the best choice but it eliminates your cold ac :(.Engine tuning has gotten better since we now have Hondata and Ktuner!

Had an 07 TSX myself. Love the RSX/Integras that came before hand as well. I still miss my 07 TSX to this day. One of the best cars I've ever owned in more than one category. Now I'm thinking of getting an 08 TL Type S, as they have aged so well like a fine wine. The third gen Acuras were the last truly great Acuras imo. They haven't looked as good since. The 4th gen TL's for example are much bulkier and even though are newer haven't aged as well as the 3rd gens. Even the brand new Acura's have a funny looking grill and just don't look as sporty as the third gen's.

I have this car for more than two years and whoever got it before just didn’t know how to maintenance this car at all.. I rebuild the transmission, did full tune up coils and sparks, new alternator and compressor .. I even install a new short intake and deleted the 3 mufflers... all I gotta do now it’s lower it and just install some vent visors.... over 250k miles but still great! The secret is taking care of the car before something happen... you see something is not right.. fix it before it gets worse! Gotta love my TL

"Accomplishes everything an adult would want that still loves cars, a car that looks nice and has 4 doors" Well said. Pretty much described what I'm looking for without me having to say a word. Been watching a lot of "car guys" youtube videos and they have nothing else to suggest than a bang out Subaru, AMG, BMW 3 series, and G35. Funny enough they know it's gonna be super expensive to maintain those cars. I'd say is250, is350 and the TL are the go-to for someone who's in the market for a 4door that can be modified with relatively low maintenance cost.

As a teen who owns an 06 TL, they’re worth it. Mine has 125000 miles on it and it drives like nothing ever happened to it. For anyone who is thinking of getting one that is auto, make sure you’re actually in gear before you take off. The autos have a tendency to slip if you don’t let it go in gear. So it feels like the car is stalling if you’re not careful. And the alternator is something people don’t talk about. Mine went out at 123000 and had it replaced after multiple misdiagnosis’s. If you can get the manual, even for a bit more money, take it.
