Comfort, style, and looks. But it wasn't always this way. The Acura TL first and second generations are often forgotten, along with the 4th. The 3rd gen is the one we often see at car shows, but why is that? Today Alex goes through some of the history of the TL along with some things to watch out for. Reliable daily, or show car? You're the judge.

this is a possibility for my first car.... if i get one.
i am hoping i get either this or a g35 depending on insurance. I would want to lower it, put some nice wheels on it then wrap it.
Honestly it isn’t bad, my uncle had one lowered it put wheels blacked it out and it didn’t look bad. It’s just a beefy car ngl. It’s like a 7/10
4th gen can never live up to the 3rd gens hype
Russ Kleymush yeah I think with a few mods and lowering it would look really nice

Lmfao!
He didn’t talk about the type s 🥺
Ikr, I love my type S .. 2007
Exactly what I was thinking of too...
What was he thinking
Or the "other" one. (CL)
You can't talk about the TL without talking about the Type S!!!!

Holy shit I had the exact same thought lol
plot twist they are related
I mean they do sound the same
Ooh shit ur right.
I have a 2007 TL-S manual in silver. I never get tired of driving it.
Kinetic blue pearl type s is my dream car.
alex clark I settled for morrocan red pearl but kinetic blue pearl is my favorite.
I feel like moroccan red is also hard to find lol.
alex clark juul yea there a little difficult. The paint looks boring in shade but the sun its so bright and has so much metallic.

Best Acura TL was the 3rd Gen! ASPEC! the model has aged very well and still looks great today!
So many people are sleeping on the TL A spec with the six speed
Nicholas Wilhoite my old trans on my 3rd gen failed at 172,000 miles. I tuned it and drove it like an absolute maniac though, with normal driving it would have held up i’m sure. Repair cost $4k and I gave it to my little brother
Dignify™ was yours a 2004-2006? I think 2007-2008 was fixed
exactly people be sleeping on this car so much
@@copperfit4087 i swear
Lets gooo finnaly I got a TL and I was wanting y’all too do this for sooo long
How you like 'er so far?
Qff White Owned it for about 6 months and beat the crap out of it. Burned the clutch replaced it and there’s been no other issues. I do need to change my timing tho
Aye!
Qff White my brother has one. Bought second hand at 100k miles. She likes oil from what I see, but other than that, still pulls hard. It’s a TL SHAWD model from 2011 I believe.
I have a 2008 tl that I got new it has 230k miles and still runs amazing
I've had my 2008 TL since new. Most reliable car ever! I did the timing belt, water pump myself. Has 217K miles, runs and rides like new. Shocks are still original! I will likely never get rid of it.
How much did it cost you to replace timing belt and water pump ?
@@khanbasheer1363 got a Timing belt, tensioner and water pump kit (Aisin) from Rock Auto for about $200.. took me a day and a half to get it all done and back together.. tense but worth it

I've had a 2008 Acura TL for 3 years now. Great car, the 3g styling is beautiful and truly doesn't age. With just a little lowering to help inspire spirited driving with a strong J series engine to back it up. I'd say this is a great starter car for a new driver.
My first car 😂 just waiting to get my license
I'm working as a contractor and once I get this 10,000 dollars I'm buying an acura tl 3g with low miles to reward myself
I love the 3rd gen TL. My dad had an 06 back when I was in high school and I would always ask to drive it. This video was pretty spot on about them. The TL has this clean low key type of elegance to it. I still want one.
I loved my ‘06 TL. It has the full stock body kit and looked beautiful.
People didn’t like the 4th one because of the grill. The beak killed it.
I still have my 06 TL with A-Spec kit.
I got the 09 . Except for the beak ;( it looks good from all angles. Besides every manufacturer eventually copied its design. Even the newer Honda s looks like it! People still think my 09 is new! And this is n2020!
Thuan Tran have you had any transmission issues? Going to look at one tomorrow
@@IdobReckon won't hold fluid
@@ericparrish1515 didn’t end up getting it. But I appreciate you though!
They listened to the community 💯💯
I Love my 4th gen, and it looks like FINALLY we are getting more support for aftermarket parts. THANK THE LORD! Thanks for doing this, I have wanted to ask for a long time but I didn't think anyone would want to see it besides me and a handful of others
You should look into XLR8, I have their Jpipe in my 3rd gen with an AEM V2 Cold Air Intake, theres a 4th gen with their resonated Catback in my area I love how it sounds.
RV6 jpipe all the way
I have the 4th gen SH-awd with the 3.7, I’m actually surprised on how it likes to get up and go 👀
They are great cars. The initial launch of the fourth gen had the unusual grill which turned people off but the 2012 refresh made it so much better. They are underrated as hell and a true pleasure to own and drive.
Tein coil overs are a great option too, my dads looks great on them. Too bad many people sleep on 4th gen’s
I'm on my third TL Charcoal Grey 05 6MT, Diamond White 2010 SH-AWD 6MT and now just picked up a 13 Bulova White SH-AWD 6MT...love them all!
TL 3rd gen is the best looking Japanese sedan of the mid 2000’s
*CHANGE MY MIND!*
Alex's Customs TLs and 8th gen civics look pretty good
Brady the interior design was a bit questionable with the split instruments Custer but the exterior is pretty good
Lexus is350
mau lemus what years are we talking? Because I think the IS 05-08 was good but it’s a bit too curvy and bulgy like the 4th gen TL,
But yea I’d say the IS is a close second if it’s, but id only get one if it was the IS-F
Not just the best looking Japanese sedan.
FINALLY! Showing some love to the TL! 3G TL Type-S owner checking in. 😁😁
I love my 08 Acura TL. It's such a nice comfy car and something that can catch ppls eyes if done right. Only thing I need for it is air suspension then it'll be set
4th gen owner here. I got it 2 years ago as my first car and although the 'boy racer' in me gets bored at times, I couldn't be more thankful for its practicality and reliability.
I want one
same. i honestly think the gen 4 styling is so much more timeless. if you get LED headlights you can pass for a 2016-2020 car
I love it. Had my 06 TL for over 10 years now. Don’t plan on getting rid of it anytime soon either!! Another problem you forgot to include this is the cracking Dashboards and failing power steerings. Other than that the car is very reliable and easy to maintain!
“So you want an Acura TSX”.
Almighty Jay that’s would be great Tsx video the first and second gen
Luis Vazquez TSX’s are so underrated man.
K-Series powaaaa!
Yeah, what about me?
Amen
I have my 07 tsx for 4 years and I regret not getting 08 tl type s 😭😭
If u got a 6 speed tsx then just do some NA tuning like bolt ons ECU tune or bigger cams and pistons and you will be smoking any heavy ass TL.
Shit i got a 04 TSX 6 speed lowered on BC coilovers with 18" AG wheels with a ecu reflash.
@@davidblackwell9747 niceee when does your vtec kick in?
Me too bro, love my TSX though
anyone else on here with one follow me on instagram @stock.cl9
Why I like the tsx better
Update: I have learned how to drive manual and now regularly take the TL to school.
Now if only I could kick my fear of stopping on hills in heavy traffic.
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.
Just use the handbrake an 1st gear...I would say no second gear since it sounds like your new to manuals. I live in San Francisco so I know hills. Second gear isn't going to work (atleast in a Acura Tl)
Hopefully they saw the advice in the replies.
You got this :D
@@SmokeyOwOs I come back to this video every once in a while, I have indeed read the comments. I’m very thankful for them! I’m very comfortable driving this car now, and if I had all the money in the world I’d keep this car running way past my death and hand it down like a family heirloom. The only complaint I have now isn’t even about the car, it’s about gas prices! Thankfully if you cap your RPMs around 2500 and try to aim for 2000, you burn way less fuel.
I wish someone would have told me when i first started learning bout the ebrake cuz my dad just told me don’t be a bitch😂buttt now I’m cool with it I don’t stress it
I've had my 4th gen for 3 years I love it the awd 3.7l engine so fun to drive

Honestly I can't wait to get Rid of my 09 Passat and get a 2012 TL with saddle brown interior🥰
2:40 Did he say quirks and features? Someone email Doug
Good one 😂😂☝🏾
Picked up a 3rd gen after my Hyundai Sonata was totaled and after a couple months of ownership I can say it's definitely a banger! An upgrade in every way! Styling is subtle while aggressive, I love how it has some angles and that wedge shape but doesn't go overboard like the 4th gen. Great power and all around a very competent daily driver
I just totaled my Hyundai Elantra about 2 weeks ago and now I’m looking into one of these😂 I’m 21 but idgaf ima get one of these after they gave me 12k for my Hyundai since the car market is high atm
3rd gen is cool. I have a 2013 4th gen SH and I couldn't be happier with it, quick sedan and the AWD system is amazing. Plus it's Japenese luxury so it's comfortable as hell.
I own a 2002 base model TL, and while it may look like any other old sedan, it's honestly an incredibly good daily. You got all leather interior, heated seats, integrated subwoofer, and a strong ass V6. I've managed to do 5.9 seconds to 60 with a soft launch and old tires. It's a blast man
I own a 2000 model and love itttt. Shame the transmissions on the 2nd gens and part of the 3rd gens were horrible :(
MB7 lmao my NA Dodge Stealth r/t whoops my friends Acura TL so theres no way you got 0-60 in 5.9 seconds in a base model TL lmao. My best 0-60 is around 6.3 but most of my power comes on the top end and inpull on my friends acura TL in an NA Stealth r/t with only an intake and muffler/resogntaors deleted
@@DaytonaBlueHr to be fair I did my run while low on fuel for those weight savings, and I have the time verified via gps, I'm also pretty light myself (120lbs) so I'd say 5.9 seconds is more than plausible, could probably do a bit better if I did a proper launch and I gate shifted
I actually was not expecting this but I'm happy you guys did it. Happy to be a TL owner. And you already know... it's gotta be 3rd gen. 💪
Which year is the 3rd gen? 04-07?

I have a 2008 TL Type S. its so clean and nice. Very underrated car. Its 12 years old but the design still holds up with today's cars. If any one is considering buying once. Don't think twice.
The second gen is the best cause it’s the lightest with the v6. Plus you can do a 6 Spd swap from a 3.2 CL type-s, meaning a 0-60 in 5.8 and good for 160+
My parents owned the 2nd gen TL type s. It was an awesome car, engine still ran fantastic. My mom couldn’t drive stick and we didn’t have the time to do a manual swap, so we went through 3 auto transmissions 😂
I’ll gladly take the couple extra pounds and drive the 3G
To me the type s 6spd 3g was the best
I have a 3rd gen 6 speed it’s the best one you can buy no question
Guys you are the best. Last week you did my favorite. MR2, and now you do the car that i have (2001 Acura 3.2 TL)(gen 2). This is why I love this Chanel
I’ve owned 3 total. Great cars. Reliable, fun, timeless look. Can’t go wrong!
Are they reliable after 200k miles looking to buy one a 2004 but no so sure if it would be a good choice the car has 220k miles but dang idk
@@eddie_salv5143 how much do they want for it? Personally I wouldnt even bother looking at a car over 120k miles .
Beautiful car when revealed and just as beautiful today l bought mine as a two year old certified from the dealer Hands down the best car i ever owned. 15 years old and there's not really another car i'd rather go out and get... Why spend money l don't have too
Few issues
1) my dashboard cracked in several places (forums say this isn't that uncommon but what ever didn't happen until a cpl years ago, the car IS old)
2) the front columns are so wide they create a huge blind spot i've had a few close call not seeing an approaching car
3) turning radius is not as tight as and aircraft carrier
4) wish it was AWD or RWD l hate torque steer
No rust issue and i'm in the north east where they salt the roads
lf you are thinking about buying one just do it, You wont be sorry
l love this car
Loved my TL when I had it, just wish i had bought a 6spd. Those v6 sound amazing with a cai!

Sooo when will so you want a Acura TSX come out 🥺
Omg yes both generations nailed it.
@sideways G I’m in Tsx Gang worldwide and in my state alone there’s only 2 second gen Tsx wagons but when they’re seen they are greatly appreciated. Same goes with the first gen although it’s not as common to find. Even harder is running into a legit rhd euro r
orlando galvez I have an 06 TSX and it’s a beauty. I wanna start doing some subtle mods to it but I don’t know where to start. Any recommendations for good sporty tires can be used as all seasons?
Evan Fortner you can easily start with suspension and wheels that’s how I went. I bagged it and threw some wheels and since then have no regrets
@@evanfortner7017 get yourself some General Gmax AS-05 all seasons. You won't be disappointed.
Pretty much summed up the entire reason I chose my TL (2010 6MT SHAWD) I do however think that people are sleeping on the 4th gen. Once you change the front grill the car really starts looking fairly good.
Definitely a great car. Bought it brand new in 07 and still driving it to this day. Currently sitting at 140k miles.

I Drive my 2004 Acura TL as my daily. Super reliable, has a timeless shape. It's my first car and have had it the past 5 years. True gem.
How is it on fuel as a daily
I own a 2nd gen (2003) TL with about 199k miles on it. Still has the original transmission. I also have all the service records since 2003 and it's been very well maintained. No transmission issues what-so-ever (yet) and rides amazing even for being on eBay coils. Absolutely loving the car, perfect for carrying my kid around in too
Update: 214k miles and still going strong. After some research I discovered it had the 2nd recall transmission. So no more transmission issues.

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.
First car was the 2008 acura tl. This video makes me want to get it again
I love the 3rd gen TL's. Timeless exterior.
Cracked to hell interior though
I have an '04 with Navi. It looks great with a drop, wheel spacers, quad exhaust, and the A-Spec kit. Fuel mileage isn't bad, either. It's still my daily driver and will be so for the foreseeable future.
The jewel eye front lights is a thing that can bring an Acura TL 2008 to next level
I've had an 04 Acura for the last 5 years and it's like my favorite car I've ever owned
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 👍
Just bought a 07 Type S about a month ago. 👍
Me too! Any issues with the tran so far?? Mines for 82,000 miles

Ive got an 05 TL. Had a few issues with the Automatic transmission but other then that I love this bad boy! Wouldn't get rid of it ever, even after my I get my next vehicle. Its also in great condition!
I drive the 2008 TL and bought it brand new with 8 miles on it. It was very pricey then, and I am glad I still drive it. It is my toy now and have been modifying it and upgrading.
I sold my 2006 6-speed TL and I’ve regretted it ever since. It had 280k miles at the time I let it go and to that very last day I had it it was still the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Got it from the first owner who put 230k miles on it and had every single piece of maintenance done at our local Acura dealership. 10/10 would recommend
This just gave me hope lol no offense, I recently bought a 08 TL with 140k miles I thought I bought it very close to its end in terms of miles in the engine
I used to have a 2011 acura tl that thing packed a little over 300 horsepower it was awesome!!!!
I’d sporadically watch these videos as I was saving for a car and I ended up getting an 06 TL. The following day (today) I searched “so you want a TL” wondering if they’d done one bc the car does in fact have a nice community, and whatdya kno! I was geeked watching a video for once actually having the car they’re talking about esp bc I’ve been a fan of them for a while now 💪🏾
Edit: typos
You and I both . I just picked up a 07 TL and I come back to read comments and its really a different feeling when you own one and when you dont 😂 proud to be apart of the community tho✍🏽

I love my first gen TL, it’s very reliable and I love to look to it. Reminds me of the legend.
BRUHHH I CANT BELIEVE YALL ACTUALLY SEEN MY COMMENT ON THIS LOL
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!
I loved my black on black 99 TL! I lowered it with truhart springs and shocks. I put 3rd gen starfishes on it with 215/55/17 tires? Loooooooved it! 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. Yes I used oem fluids as I did work for Honda at the time.
The 3rd generation TL is my favorite of the acuras. I feel good about mines no matter what other newer cars are parked next to it.
In the middle of the woods surveying and I seen the notification so I had to sit down and watch
I like how your editor puts all the embarrassing stuff in the beginnings 😂💀
My 05 base @223,000 miles. Runs like a Champion. Never bored of it.
UUGGHHHH WHY DO I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS VIDEO???
Yes you did a video I love my 07 tl type s with a 6 speed manual 👍🏾👍🏾
Own one myself... ITS LOVELY
I have 2005. I don’t think I will ever get rid of it. All the lines and style are simple and perfect. Reliable and fun to drive. I’m always modifying mine, full custom suspension, exhaust, intake, body mods. I think it will be considered a classic car for me, timeless, sexy, Still cheaper than a sports car. Mine is all black.
I love my 3rd gen TL. It gets up and goes and doesn’t kill my bank account. It’s really easy to work on as well. Thinking about dropping it a little bit but just a lil since I have to drive on bumpy country roads every day.
My manual TL’s original clutch lasted til 190k miles 😍
Just swapped mine out at 243k, back on Jan. 20th 2019. Still runs quiet. Timing done every 100k. 2nd owner. No issues.
I have a 2010 TL, I love it so much...
I got an ACURA TL 05 dark blue with tint windows and the original wheels painted all back with white logo. 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
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.
Thank you so much I remember commenting this and now it’s here 😭 now I think I’ll definitely buy this after college

Besides the Acura legend, this 3rd generation TL was the best Acura period. Acura at the peak of their game😊

That transmission and engine are quick and my dad drives that thing to LA and back almost everyday. It’s close 300,000 miles now, probably has generated close to 1.5 million dollars in company sales. This is our good luck car Forsure!
Proud owner. Of a 3rd gen 3.2 l 2004 Pepsi blue here in Canada toronto . Tl is the talk almost every is trying to get their hands on a tl
FI already did “so you want an RX-7”, could you guys do “So you want an RX-8”? 🔺engine love
Not gonna lie, I never even thought about owning a TL, but after seeing this, I kinda want one 😅

My Acura TL 04 has been treating me so good for my first car as 16 years old
It feels like more and more people are looking at the acura tl
I love my TL best car I ever owned.
Besides my 68 mustang
I just bought a dark grey, black interior 2008 TL and I fucking love it. I've been chomping at the bit to finally buy one. I cashed in all my chips and bought one. She's definitely my side chick.
