Questions About Acura Cars 2012

Susan asks…

2012 Acura TL oil change?

hi acura car owners

for a 2012 Acura TL oil change, after I change the oil and filter, how can I reset the onboard computer system to tell it that the oil is changed ? Then the "need oil change flag" message will be gone.

admin answers:

Using the buttons on the steering column, scroll down to where it says oil life xx%. Press and hold the reset button. After a few seconds, the display will start blinking. Release the reset button and push it again, the oil life will reset to 100%.

George asks…

Would a 2012 Acura TL be a good first car?

I will be receiving my first car on my 18th birthday in November of 2013 and I'm wondering what some people's opinions,suggestions, etc. would be. For suggestions, it would need to be under $20,000 by late 2013. Thanks in advance!

As a mechanic at an Acura dealership, I would advise against it. For starters, you are not going to get a 2012 TL for under $30k muchless $20k. Second, there is a lot of maintenance involved with a TL. LOFs are due about every 6,000 which varies based on how you drive it. Every 12-18,000, the rear differential fluid needs to be replaced ($90). Depending on what the conditions are, the air and pollen filters need to be replaced every 10-30,000 miles ($80). This is just a sampling of the services, there are a lot more. Then on top of that, all Acura vehicles take premium fuel which on average is 30 cents more a gallon than unleaded. So my recommendation is to go with something more economical.

David asks…

Should I trade my 2006 Acura TSX in for 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

There is nothing wrong with my Acura..I just fell in love with this Jeep. I have about 65,000 miles on it. I love my car but I really want that damn Jeep. I don't know much about cars, but I don't go off roading(i know thats what this Jeep is made for)..Is it a bad idea?

Why not rent one for a week and see if its what you will like.

Mandy asks…

Which car should I buy? The choices are Infiniti M class 2012 or Acura RL 2011?

Thanks !

Wow, is this actually a serious question? Why in the world would anyone be on the fence between an Acura RL and an Infiniti M37 sedan. The RL has been dead in this market for a very long time. The RL is a very poor seller, its been so neglected from the Luxury market that Acura is pulling it out of their lineup by 2013. Don't get me wrong Acura is a great reliable luxury manufacturer but an Acura comes no where near on par with an Infiniti nor a Lexus in the luxury market. They have yet to offer a coupe, convertible, performance vehicle or a Full size SUV, the brand alone is behind by ages, not to mention styling among the Acura brand has been more often an issue rather then controversial. The Infiniti M37 sedan rivals vehicles like the Audi A6, BMW 5 series, Lexus GS and Mercedes E-class. Not to mention the Infiniti M-class was ranked the "#1 Mid sized luxury sedan for 2011" according the ALG awards. The Acura RL in terms of refinement and technology comes no where near the offerings of an Infiniti M37. The Infiniti M37 also composes a class leading 330 Horsepower engine while the Acura RL composes a 300 HP engine. Plain and simple, the Infiniti M37 is worlds apart from an Acura RL, size is the only thing they have in common. However if your looking to spend less money on a luxury sedan I would recommend the Acura RL which tends to stay under $57,000 when loaded, the Infiniti M-class is a great car but quite frankly like many vehicle's in its class it can easily inflate to a price well over $70,000 when loaded so on a number scale you'll probably get more bang for your buck in the Acura RL.
