TPMS issues unable to be resolved by dealer, $700 seat rails making my driver's seat a rocking chair, then doing it again in 10K after spending said $700 for the part and replacing them myself, compression rods, cat bad at 101K, rust coming through fenders even though car was religiously washed and waxed, unresolved shudder on the highway, wheel bearings going bad prematurely, etc., etc. I will never own a Nissan again. On the flip side, I have yet to have a serious issue with any Subaru I have ever owned.

Granted, I have an '07 TL-S, but I average 20mpg in the city...32mpg on the hwy.
I really wanted to get a 4G 6spd, but decided I still really like this car, and LOVE not having any car payments. I just put some Michelin Pilot Super Sports on, and holy crap this thing handles amazingly. FWD definitely isn't as fun in the winter, but I just throw my snow tires on and haven't had any issues. |

The last gen TL-S was a MUCH better looking car than the current one. I saw a blue one and a white one (with A-Spec kit) over the last two days and it really is a shame what Acura did to the styling. I'd say that the last gen was top three best looking sedans out of JDM-land in the last decade.

ALL of the older Acuras were better looking than the new ones.

If this thing blows up, maybe I'll just get a heavily used TL-S 6MT beater from the last generation |

If true luxury is what you're looking for, bum a ride in Nick's CTS-V. That is luxury. Beyond that, I'm thinking Quattroporte.....which is at the top of the luxury food chain of cars I've personally experienced. |

I did test drive a Spec B (the first model year) and was not impressed with the interior build quality. It just felt like a tarted up Impreza. The newer versions of the Spec B did look nicer inside, but I don't have any experience with them. |

well true. I was giving you a screaming deal on it. I think $3k more than what you paid? 6MT Nav: $17.5k and it came with the HFP kit and TL wheels and some suspension parts. |

I sat in a coworker's 2012 TL yesterday and was a bit disappointed. Only thing I liked was the navigation. Besides that, it was a regular car with leather. I have to check out a fully TL because I'm assuming (hoping) that was a base model. It's a lease.

If you offered a screaming deal on something I wanted today, I'd buy it from you, as you've now been here for (damn has it been that long) six years How much did you end up getting for that Accord anyway? I bet you miss that car It absolutely would've been a steal, had I bought it. Didn't it have like 25K miles too? I've come close to trading in my own Accord a few times, but I still love it, and she still gets the job done . |

no.. no.. How much did you SELL it for? Did someone give you the $17.5K?
Also, I was the n00b on driveaccord. Had my beater not blown up, I probably would've made a more rational choice. (and created 500 more "waht car should I buy" threads in OT ) |

Yeah, just don't drive it. Look in it and sit in it... But don't drive it.
