Questions About Acura Clothing

William asks…

How much money is to live this kind of lifestyle?

i want to live a good lifestyle when i grow up so what income would i need like i want to live a certain lifestyle how much income would i need sustain and not go into debt deeply
apartment in L.A or Ny or somewhere
a car like hondo or acura
groceries and other stuff needed for life
a pet
a few desingers and non desingers clothing
so my question is how much would i need to earn as an income to live this type of lifestyle P.s what jobs would it be to

admin answers:

In Manhattan one needs to earn at least 50,000 a year to live comfortably. Owning a car will cost you easily an additional 10 grand a year in insurance and parking.

In LA, the sky's the limit. I lived in Silverlake for many years. Many would consider that "LA". I lived more comfortably (with a Honda Civic) there for 25 grand than I did in Manhattan when I was earning 60,000.

Where, exactly, you choose to live can have a very dramatic impact on your cost of living. In Brooklyn it is possible to live far nicer for less than on the island.

What to get my man for his 20th birthday?

my boyfriend of a year is turning 20 and i have no idea what to get him. i wanna spend like $100 or so.. hes really into his car.. its an acura rsx type s.. and he likes nice clothes...have any ideas??

admin answers:

Do something that doesnt spend money, turn him on. Take it from a guys point of view once we turn 13 the only thing we really want for our birthday more then video games, is a hot girl, so what you do is, from my pov this is enough to turn a gay guy on, start touching yourself

and make sure he catches you, do something that will make him come into the room you are in, maybe you can have the tv on to loud or write a letter pretending it is from someone, he will guarentee come into the room

so finish masterbating until you cum, then start making out with him, and do what you want from there

George asks…

Acura tl windows and sunroof opened on their own without the keys?

When I came home today I parked in the driveway and ran inside just to change clothes, I didn't lock the car when I ran inside but I had the keys with me. When I came back out all my windows were rolled down and the sunroof was open. At first I thought somebody was messing with me, but then I thought maybe I had accidently triggered a weird setting on my remote. Anybody know what might have made everthing open up on the car. I don't want to accidently do this again in a parking lot or somewhere random.

admin answers:

If you press and hold your unlock button, the sunroof and windows will open. You probably put the keys in your pocket and did it by accident.

Lizzie asks…

People like to say they are not racist, but there behavior suggest otherwise, agree?

Whiteman cars include Chevy Corvette, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Ford Pickup and SUVs. Yellowman cars include Honda Accord, Acura Integra, Civic, Toyota Camery. Whiteman's clothing include Abercrombie and Fitch, Baseball Cap with cargo shorts and flip flops. Whitie in Frats don't invite Browns and Yellows. Yellows have their own venues as with other groups, steer clear from the White Rush Activities, they are for the Frat Whities and their lude unrefined behaviors.

admin answers:

I think everyone forms stereotypes of other races, largely due to the fact that they are true. There are not true in 100% of cases, but why is there a stigma associated with pointing out general facts about a group of people backed up by statistics? Different races DO tend to fulfill stereotypes and it's sickening to be branded a racist for pointing this out.

Questions About Acura Cars 2009

Michael asks…

What is a better choice on cars? A 2006 Acura TL or a 2009 Nissan Altima?

I can get a 2006 Acura TL that has about 30,000 miles on it for about 21,000 or I can get a brand new Nissan altima around $25,000...

admin answers:

Both good, the TL is not a competitor with the Altima...it's a whole different animal.. TL has more features, higher performance tuned, and more luxurious. 30,000 is great too, barely been used.

I'd err on the side of the used car...While Nissan's are great (I drive one), as soon as your drive off the lot the car will be worth a lot less. Cars lose about 20% of their value in the first year (Altima will be worth about 20,000 in 2010).

Not to mention, at the end of the day, the TL is a lot sharper looking than the Altima.

William asks…

First Car- 2009 Nissan Maxima vs. 2009 Acura TL?

I am turning 16 and I need help picking a car. I am either getting a 2009 Nissan Maxima or a 2009 Acura TL. They both almost have all the same features. They are both 38,000 which is my limit. Please tell me which one you would choose and why. By the way do not criticize me for getting these cars I know how much insurance is going to be and we can afford it. Please and thank you!

Picture Of Both Cars

I realize that a few people want me to get a American car. They haven't realized that the American companies have not retooled yet. The Japanese already have retooled and the European companies are in the process right now. The Americans went to the government today to ask for a bailout so they can retool. They will be able to get better gas mileage, more reliability, and all the little goodies on the inside and out. Right now it's not practical for me to get a American car but when they catch up too the other companies and become equal I will buy a American car but not right now.

admin answers:

HONDAAA CIVIC.

Okay :) you can stop posting this question now

George asks…

Is a 2009 Acura MDX a good car for a 16 year old boy's first car?

I was wondering because that is what I am thinking of buying him for his 16th.

admin answers:

Too nice.

It's perfect if you are trying to teach him that you are going to give him whatever he wants for the rest of his life and you want him to live at home until he is 30.

If you want him to value hard work and experience living in the real world, you would be smart and buy him a $5,000 car and make him pay for the gas, maintenance and insurance with a after-school job.

Sharon asks…

Which is the better car. 2008 Acura TLS or 2009 Acura TLS?

The 2009 has more horsepower, but weighs more. Does the weigh over power the hp. and the handling. Also I have heard about the recall on the electrical fires.

admin answers:

That can't really be answered until you describe what's most important to you. For example, the new TL is a bigger car than the outgoing 3rd generation TL. Also the new TL brings upgraded luxury appointments. The SHAWD version also provides enhanced cornering, not that the outgoing TLS didn't corner well...it did (in tests, it out-handled the RWD Lexus IS350).

You mentioned horsepower & and hinted at power/weight ratios. I'd bet the outgoing 286 hp TLS with a 6 speed will outrun the new, more powerful SHAWD 306 hp model. The outgoing TL weighs in the 3,500 lb range, whereas the new model weighs a hefty 4,000 lbs! The outgoing Type S MT is capable of 0-60 in 5.5 sec. The new all-wheel drive is a 'mixed bag'...it adds traction, but also adds internal (parasitic losses) within the drive train...more friction from more gears means less power going to the wheels.

BTW, Acura will not release a manual transmission version of the TL until next year. And I wouldn't be surprised if the downturn in the economy delays that...MTs don't sell well.

admin answers:

Mercedes-Benz. Acura is "entry level luxury", I say "entry level luxury" with the quote marks because the interior is very similar to Honda. It's nothing special. Mercedes-Benz is special inside out. It has better quality,comfort,luxury and performance. Acura is just a more expensive Honda. Mercedes-Benz is a true luxury car. It is also the top selling luxury automaker in the world.

Donald asks…

Is there any way to protect the transmition of a 2000 Acura TL or is it guaranteed to go out?

I've read some reviews and it seems the transitions in Acuras have to be replaced quite often.
I've read from some reviews on Kelley Blue Book that there is a defect in the transmitions so that not enough oil is distributed in 2nd and 3rd gear and that most only last 50,000 miles or so. I'm thinking of buying an Acura but don't want to have to replace the transmition.

admin answers:

I've never heard this
If you maintain the transmission, IE preform regular maintenance, it should last 200,000 miles.
Unless you abuse it there are a very durable and reliable transmission.
Who told you that there were a problem?

James asks…

Acura TL type s rims on an Acura RSX?

Do you think this would look good? And does anyone know where i could buy some.

admin answers:

I guess. Go check out the Acura Tl forums and look for someone selling their stock rims because most people get aftermarket rims so they just sell their stocks for cheap. You could also check your local craigslist or go to ebay and find it there.

Charles asks…

Questions About Acura Tl Type S 2008

Richard asks…

Which car do you think I should get 1995 Nissan 300zx 2+2 TT or a 2008 Acura TL Type S?

I want a car that is fun to drive and is reliable. Also with good amout of room to fit my family/friends. Also the gas mileage. And the maintenance as well. THANKS

admin answers:

I work for Nissan but would say the TL wins hands down. A 14 year old Z car will not be fun with 4 people inside maintence costs parts availabilty may become issues. A brand new Acura TL before they changed to that ugly grill shield thing. Anytime you can afford almost new high tech verses GT touring from the last century. I would take high tech. But I would also look at a fully loaded 2009 Maxima just in case you want to go Nissan

George asks…

Is the 2007-2008 Acura TL Type-S in Kinetic Blue Pearl Only Available in the USA?

Uhm yeah, i like cars that are only available in the United States, so i just wanted to know real badly. So, that means excluding out Canada & Mexico.

Kinetic Blue Pearl was exclusive for the TL Type-S, so both the USA and Canada had it. So, no Kinetic Blue Pearl was not only available in the USA.

Lizzie asks…

Help me choose between 2 cars both Acura TL Type S.?

I'm debating between 2 exact model cars (2003 Acura TL Type S) for the same price...mind you all I have 2 boys (4 & 7 yrs old)

The differences are:

Car #1 - Tan interior, Wood Trim, Navigation, 75K miles, Non-Tinted Windows, 1 carfax accident report, drives smooth, a/c works great, stock tires.

Car #2 - Black interior, marble Trim, 71K miles, Tinted windows, 0 carfax accident report, strut/spring makes noise (Dealer currently fixing the problem), a/c works pretty well, rear windows slightly tinted (I prefer a darker tint), 18" chrome aftermarket wheels (1 rusted)

Both dealership is REALLY trying 2 sell me their cars, but I need a unanimous decision by tomorrow evening. I really like the black on black because it matches, but seems like the car has some mechanical issues.

admin answers:

Wow, seems like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'd go with neither. The first one was in a wreck and cars never drive the same after an accident. The second one was probably "modded" which means it was likely driven hard which is another bad sign. I'd avoid both.

Nancy asks…

ACURA TL type S, Mercy S350 or Accord coupe v6 '08?

which car do u think is the best? regarding their brands and prices. advise please...thank you

the prices that i know are:
Acura tl type s = about 35.000
mercy s350 = about 41.000
accord coupe v6 '08 = about 31,000

admin answers:

Well the Merc is the best. I think you mean a "C350" because they don't make an S350. I'd chose something else out of those three cars if I was in that price range. I'd go G37, M35, or a used A8 or a CTS

Sandy asks…

i want a better car than acura TL type S?

my brother has an acura TL type s with everyting on it gps xm radio bluetooth etc... i want to get a similar car but one that is faster and more luxurious but around the same price which was about $38,000 with everything on it thanks for your help

admin answers:

The G35 is the only car that is close at that price. It has the advantage of RWD handling characteristics, but is probably not much faster, and not any more luxurious either. If you want a nicer, faster sedan, you'll have to pay more - it's that simple.

If you're willing to spend the extra cash - the previously mentioned 330i is worth considering, and also an M45 (has a V8).

If you're not willing to spend the extra and still want to keep it around 38k or less - consider a certified preowned BMW.

Helen asks…

Should I get a Lexus IS 350 AWD or an Acura TL SH-AWD Both 2010 Models?

I personally like the TL, but the exterior is soooooo ugly!
So that leaves me to the next choice a decent looking Lexus IS 350 AWD, but the interior space is smaller than the TL!
Yea hard to choose, give me some advice plz peoples! :D

admin answers:

I would go for the Lexus, as well, only because the TL is so ugly.

Have you considered the Infiniti G37x? A little less expensive than the Lexus, more standard horsepower and way more attractive than the TL.
I really wanted the TL, as well, but couldn't get past its ugliness.
I ended up buying a 2009 Infiniti G37x

Questions About Acura Honda Recall

Laura asks…

Now honda get sa recall?

i have a 2002 acura tl sedan and they are getting i guess a recall or something like that how does this work.i have to give my car back to acura

article http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1291/honda-adds-437000-cars-to-global-air-bag-recall/

admin answers:

If your vehicle is affected, Acura will contact you and schedule you an appointment to fix or replace your airbag...you don't give your car back to Acura.

Jenny asks…

Recall on my car?

I just called Honda and they said I was still under recall for my 2001 Acura 3.2TL because my car has a slight transmission problem. What does that mean? Does it mean they'll fix it for FREE, no charge at all costs?

admin answers:

Yes they will fix it for free.
Check www.totalrecallinfo.com to see if there are other recalls.

Take care.

Remedy:
ON VEHICLES WITH 15,000 MILES OR LESS, THE DEALER WILL UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A SIMPLE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE TO INCREASE LUBRICATION TO THE SECOND GEAR. ON VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 15,000 MILES, THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO IDENTIFY GEARS THAT HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING. IF DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED IF DISCOLORATION IS NOT PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL PERFORM THE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 21, 2004, FOR PILOT, ODYSSEY, AND MDX OWNERS. OWNERS OF THE ACCORD VEHICLES WILL START RECEIVING LETTERS ON JUNE 28, 2004, AND ON JUNE 29, 2004, FOR OWNERS OF THE TL AND CL VEHICLES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.

Lisa asks…

Is it possible to trade in a lemon to a dealership?

I ask this question not b/c I am trying to be sneaky or grimey, but I am curious and this is why. I have a neighbor who is selling his 2000 Ford Focus. My wife spoke with him and he indicated he is leaving and selling a few of his cars. He is a mechanic if that matters. The car has 50,000 miles on it. Clutch and breaks just replaced along with a pump {not sure which one}. This will be my first car {if i purchase it} and I have been doing a lot of searches for used cars. I am only interested in Acura, Honda, Nissan or Toyota because of reliability.

The reviews for the 2000 Focus on Edmunds.com were horrible. From recalls, to untimely repairs, and keys sticking in the ignition it was just crazy. Anyway knowing that he is a mechanic I am still going to have it inspecting by a mechanic of my choice. My question however is if I purchase it and it is just too costly to keep b/c of repairs, and I decide to trade in or sell to a dealership will they accept it with all the issues these cars have? Or will they decline? By the way he is selling for $2,200. KBB is $3-$4.5k i think. Some dealers are selling these for $5.5-$7.5k.

admin answers:

Certainly, a dealer will take it in on trade. They'll do their own inspecting once it's taken in, and will probably wholesale it off to another dealer, anyway (it'll probably end up on a "buy-here, pay-here" lot). If you do trade it, I wouldn't expect much in resale value on the car.

If it was legally determined to be a "lemon", you wouldn't have it, anyway as the manufacturer would've already taken it back.

Advice? Skip this car. You already KNOW it has issues, and you're taking a huge risk purchasing it. The 2000 Focus models were the first model year, and they had many issues, as you've read. He's selling it on-the-cheap as he knows it's trouble.

Donald asks…

Acura extended warranty.?

I bought a 2003 Acura TL last summer from the original owner. One year later the transmission seems to being going out. The original owner said that there was a recall on the transmission and she had it replaced under warranty. I did some research online and found out the Honda had extended the warranty to 100K miles for our car model for the transmission.
My question is this, does the original warranty go with the original owner or the car? Also, if she had already replaced the faulty transmission under the original warranty will it cover again if still bad?

*Car had 70K miles when I bought and now it has just over 90K.

Questions About Acura Tl Forum

Donald asks…

I need help unlocking my radio for a 96 Acura TL?

I went on a forum to find an answer to my question. I learned that I could find the code in the under-the-hood fusebox. I opened up the fusebox and saw a few sets of different number combonations. I don't know which one it is. how do i know which one it is and how do i input the code?

admin answers:

Google it and it will give you a series of codes and how to put them in. If that doesn't work, call an Acura dealership, they will probably charge you, but they will tell you. I googled the codes for my grand am and it worked. Try it for your Acura!

I have a WDP (white) 2004 TL and I love it. NBP (black) shows scratches very easily and is a pain to keep clean. Plus black cars get hotter in the summer.

Steven asks…

1996 Acura TL 2.5 overheating issue?

I have a 1996 Acura TL 2.5L with 175k miles on it. Recently I have encountered a problem that I am beginning to feel is serious. When I start the car and drive for a few miles the temperature gauge reaches normal running temperature. If I have to stop at a long traffic light or railroad crossing the gauge begins to climb towards the H. If I am able to move the gauge sometimes will return to normal, other times it will only continue to climb. I have to stop and turn the engine off for a few minutes to allow it to cool down. Secondly, I have noticed that if the temperature outside is cool or cold (40's) and I am on the freeway, the temperature gauge will drop way below normal, almost to the C. Of course when I come to a stop the gauge will return to normal once again.
I am concerned because apparently this is a problem and I cannot efford to have the engine overheat because I am aware of the damage associated with that happening. The coolant level is correct and the coolant is still green in color. I have been looking for any signs of leakage by placing cardboard underneath the vehicle and allowing it to run and to no avail have found a leak of any kind. I have read forums that stated it may be the thermostat or the the water pump but I am still very unclear. Also there is no change in the heating system when the heat is turned on or with the A/C when it is turned on. The cooling fans do run to the best of my knowledge because I hear them running when the vehicle is turned off for a few moments. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

admin answers:

First of all did you ever change or flush your rad..ever sins you had the car if yes then you might wanna check your heat sensor or get your thermostat change..and i hope its not your head gasket...

Questions About Acura Commercial Music

Robert asks…

Who's music is playing in 2010 Acura TL commercial?

The commercial starts off with exploded airbag going back into the steering wheel, and in the background some orchestra like music is playing. Do you know who composed it and what's the name of the song?

admin answers:

Alexander the Great

Carol asks…

Music instrumental used in Acura TL commercial - country, blue grass?

Instrumental music was used in a commercial for Acura TL in the late 90s – early 2000s. The car is on a country road at sunset. Blue grass, country sound, someone said it was from Joe Meadows “Country Ham” but it’s not.

admin answers:

Try "adtunes" or another site with music from commercials

Maria asks…

Acura Fully Loaded Commercial Music?

Hello everyone. So I was watching a Tivo'd episode of The Office and saw this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Um7LLI8a1k

I LOVE this song, and am wondering if anyone here knows by chance the artist and song name? The comments didn't have any specifics, and one user mentioned it might be written exclusively for the commercial, but I am not letting that deter me from asking around anyhow. I appreciate the help, and thanks in advance.

admin answers:

Yeah, hes right..its not a real song, sorry. But how can you possibly like it? Sounds so cheesy and the first word that came up to mind was "gay" but in a bouncy, sing-song sort of way..weird. Well, arent most Acura drivers "metro" anyways?? I mean, look at the commercial and the product that its endorsing. PFFT!! WhateVR..

Ken asks…

What is the music playing in the backround of the new acura RL commercial?

It's the one with the car being able to sense a car crash and can apply the brakes if needed. Anyone know what music that is?

admin answers:

It's very similar to track 13 on the Babe soundtrack under the title "Round Up" but it's originally a piece composed for piano by Edvard Grieg called "Springdans" Opus 47 No. 6.

The Babe one is closer to the commercial as the music in the ad is a symphonic arrangement.

Questions About Acura Tl Type S 0-60

Mandy asks…

What is the 0-60 mph for a 2003 Acura rsx type-s and a 2007 Acura tl type-s?

Please go by reliable sites.

admin answers:

The TL is slightly faster...plug in the specs into a simple 1/4 mile ET calculator...

TL type-s is 14.22
RSX-S is 14.78

These times are at little faster than the cars actually are...but it's just for comparison's sake. Realistically the RSX runs high 14's/low 15's stock and the TL will run mid 14's.

BUT...spend $600 for a hondata reflash and $200 for an AEM CAI for the RSX and you'll be right on par with the TL.

Richard asks…

what is the 0-60 time in an Acura TL type S?

08 with an Automatic transmission, please no 5.5times as that is with the manual, sources would be appreciated

admin answers:

It should get from 0-60 from mid to high 5 seconds, but 6.4 seconds has been seen.

Steven asks…

What is the 0-60 mph time of a 2003 Acura TL Type S?

admin answers:

Put it on a track, and find out.

It doesn't matter what the factory rated speed was (which you could have looked up yourself, if you had bothered), because you are not a professional driver, do not have a brand new car, and do not have ideal track conditions.

All of which were the standard that were used when the 0-60 was calculated.

So, go to a track, and see how fast YOU can do it. Not just once, but can perform that speed repeatedly. There's your 0-60.

Thomas asks…

where do i get a supercharger for my 2003 acura tl type s?

i obviously have a 2003 acura tl type s, and i want to put a supercharger on it to give it a little boost if u know what i mean lol. it is a v6 engine and i think its getting 260hp right now... but it goes fast and the 0-60 is just under 6sec. i got atpl exhaust, and it sounds really nice, but now i just need the supercharger to complete the job.
where do i get the supercharger that will fit this car?
please no crappy or top class superchargers. i dont want to waste money
yes, i sold my passat because it doesnt even stand up to this.

admin answers:

Acura made a supercharger for the 2003 CL-S. It was then about $3,000 installed at the dealership. I imagine that the same component could be used on a TL-S. I could not however find this part after a few searches. The closest I found was by Comptech...a division of Acura. BUT the part listed is for a 2004-2008 TL. It lists for $4,495.00 through E-bay. Scroll down:

Ask about the part at the closest Acura dealer's parts dept.

Maria asks…

What is the difference between the Acura TL and the Acura TL Type S? How much more expensive is the TL Type S?

Could I get a used 2007 Acura TL Type S with a reasonable amount of miles for under $25,000?

admin answers:

Yes you can, and the TL type-s is much more powerful and more fun to drive! I've haven't driven one personally, but i drive an rsx type-s and have driven a base model rsx and the difference is so great that i would never drive a base model. Plus, the type-s can come in a 6 speed, and manuals are more fun.

George asks…

Which is car is more fun to drive? Acura TL Type S or BMW 335i?

Which car would be more fun to drive a Acura Type S or a BMW 335i? I want something that handles good as well.

admin answers:

This is a no-brainer.
The BMW handle MUCH better.

Look at the facts:
Twin turbo RWD platform 300+hp
It's a BMW which are probably the best handling cars out of the box.
Do simple mods to it and it will be even funner to drive, its easy to make extra power when you have a turbo car.



The Acura on the other hand, not to hate on anyone here, but it's afwd 300hp car that weights 3500+lbs.... That combination of drivetrain and power will never handle well. Simply will have too much torque steer which is no fun at all. Look at most sports cars..... Either RWD or AWD. Fwd is good for daily commuters.

Daniel asks…

What do you guys think about the Acura TL type-s?

I just purchased a 2008 acura tl type s with 31,000 miles, and im picking it up on monday...I test drove 2 different ones and this car is amazing to me

admin answers:

Like the guy above stated, Acura is like the Japanese Cadillac, Lexus is like the Japanese Mercedes & Infiniti is the Japanese BMW. Personally im not a big fan of Acuras but they are very reliable vehicles nevertheless, styling is subjective but to me they seem more like a "begginers" luxury car.
