Kelvin30286063: Btw, rockauto is a good resource. Going by my research, the TL doesn't share struts with any Honda. Ball joints and things like control arms are shared with the 8th gen Accord, though. Suspension parts shouldn't be an issue. Why not do a 2013 Accord? |

HeavenlyBang: Not all engines burned oil. The 2010 - 2012 or so burned oil. My mdx has the same 3.7l j37 engine and doesn't burn a drop between oil changes. I can't remember the exact years that burned oil. Op do your research. Propeller issue wasn't pronounced and was rarely mentioned in the mdxers or TL group I registered to. |

9icetoo: Ah, ok. My research was mostly on the 2012 MY. Glad to hear the prop shaft issue isn't a big deal. |

HeavenlyBang:It's a good idea bro, thanks but I'm scared of Honda now since my last two experiences. My wife will not have Honda in the house anymore. The last Honda I used doesn't pull leg but I'm always spending money on the suspension. Shakes today, sound coming from the leg tomorrow. She won't forgive me if I buy another Honda and we start the same process again. |

Kelvin30286063: Well, the TL uses most of the same suspension parts as the 08-12 Accord and Crosstour. The issue here may be you buying fake parts. |

Re: Please Help A Brother With Acura TL 2010 Review by Philadelphia: 6:50pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Kelvin30286063: Honda! Honda! Honda! The Honda you use no get model and year? I guess it's an 08-10 Honda accord |

Philadelphia: All Acura RL's are SH - AWD enabled........ The Acura might be heavier, but never doubt the prowess of an orobo........... |
Re: Please Help A Brother With Acura TL 2010 Review by Philadelphia: 11:08pm On Apr 11, 2020 |
Lexusgs430: I was referring to the TL which is OP's point of concern. Event that, your RL SH-AWD cannot take on the 2008 Infiniti G35x 1 Like 1 Share |

Bizzyliss:I checked it and your price is outrageous. It's worth it though since it's toks but I can't afford it. |
Re: Please Help A Brother With Acura TL 2010 Review by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:11pm On Apr 12, 2020 |
Kelvin30286063: There's nothing outrageous about that price. Go price a 2012 C350 or G37. |

AutoMoTech:I actually saw a 2012 that is going for 2.8m, I was considering it until I came across his own. I wasn't expect something above 3m. That was why I said it's outrageous. I want to appreciate everyone that gave an input. It was so insightful and helpful. After all said and done. I have decided to go for the 2010 SH-AWD cuz I love to enjoy driving. Got someone in Lagos that is selling his for 1.8m, I'll take a look as soon as this lockdown is over. He's a distress seller but he's got no choice than to wait right now. Also I'll be taking a mechanic with me and doing a thorough checking, I'll really appreciate if you guys can tell me some of the things to look out for when checking the car. God bless you all. |

Kelvin30286063: Its a no brainer. The cars that are used over there are in a better shape than those used here. Good roads. Cooler clime (at least in majority of cases). Better knowledge and maintenance culture. Every thing used on the car is genuine from petrol to carrug. 4 Likes |

Hi Considering the 2009/2010 Acura mdx. Can u pls share your experience using an mdx 9icetoo: 2 Likes |
Re: Please Help A Brother With Acura TL 2010 Review by 9icetoo(m): 9:45pm On Apr 13, 2020 |
lexini: So far so good. Maintenance is easy so far. Things replaced: 1. Front discs and pad (heavy braking caused them to warp). Cheap compared to other cars 2. Starter motor (kick starter) . Note, the previous one worked but made a high pitched noise after starting vehicle which to me was a sign all wasn't well with it. Very cheap. 3. Rear wiper engine (casing cracked one fateful day. Don't know what caused it. Replaced myself). 4. New rim And tyre for spare (hated the donut spare that comes with the car) 5. Front and rear shocks (effects of travelling frequently with full family. Our highways aren't very friendly to suspension components. Still good though but didn't feel as when car came in). All in all, everything Spent so far is less than 120k. Fuel economy is not bad. In Lagos consumption is between 12mpg to 14mpg. Best I ever got from highway driving was 18mpg (note this is with car fully loaded with wife kids and personal effects.) Now the interesting part.... The interior is well made and laid out. No noise unless at high speeds of about 120km/hr. That's when you start hearing some road noise in the cabin. Faint though. Acceleration is superb. If you want to really squeeze out all the HP available, throw in a bottle or two of octane boosters to half tank, step on the right pedal and smile and the roar from the 300+ engine. The shawd come in handy as well. It's the best in class. During my travels, it has got me out of a few tight corners and places especially the ph-enugu stretch of road. Very ridiculous road especially the ABA section. Never ever got stuck. Hardly any wheel spin. Gets in and out of rough terrain like an awd should. The entertainment package is awesome too. The Roof mounted DVD Keeps the kids busy on long journeys while the sound system is awesome. In all, it's a wonderful car. 10 Likes |
