I review the 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD with the new-for-2012 6-speed automatic transmission. Despite this vehicle's age, it has aged well in many respects, like with its stout 3.7L V6 that still makes more horsepower than Acura's current sedan, the TLX. In other areas of course it hasn't aged well, like the interior technology. But with an as-tested price of just $11,990 for this higher-mileage example, the value is hard to argue with. What do you think about the 2012 Acura TL? Thanks to Harrison Auto Sales for providing this vehicle to review! It's currently for sale and more info can be found on it here: www.harrisonautos.com/details...

Criminally underrated car.

@Maelstrom8 9 месяцев назад

Agreed. People held onto their issues with the styling of the original version and ignored everything else that the car got right.

@vincestone5465 9 месяцев назад

@@Maelstrom8 bingo✅ well said. Personally if it had the tech package I thought it looked so sick. The tail in the back. The look of the car was futuristic. I loved that car

@kevinandrew_ 9 месяцев назад

Agreed with the all of the above. I think another part of it though was that Acuras of this era weren't all that appealing brand new vs the competetion, but now that everything from this year is well out of warranty this is a great used buy compared to the Germans.

@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan 9 месяцев назад

Wow a double, first the first generation TLX, and now a 4th generation TL :) Both the TLX and TL are criminally underrated Japanese sport sedans. Sure this TL wasn't the amazing 3rd generation from 2004-2008, but Acura putting their amazing SH-AWD system in the TL finally gave it the amazing driving experience it needed, since the FWD limits showed on the 3rd generation, even if that car didn't really feel like FWD when you started to hustle that around. Also, that amazing 3.7L J37 VTEC V6, you can never get tired of listening to a Honda V6. It's music to my ears. And the fact that this TL has 127,000 miles and it still looks fairly nice on the inside, and it still drives nice shows that Honda reliability. Very good resale value because of its durability.

@vincestone5465 9 месяцев назад

The legacy of these cars is why I bought my most recent! Picked up a 2023 TLX A-Spec SH-AWD this year and after 12K miles so far since March, I LOVE how it drives and acts on the road. First turbo car too. I traded an Accord V6 for it and, in my experience, is THE next step up from my previous car. Looking forward to the next 100K+ miles in this one!

Currently have a ‘21 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T. Loved all of my Acuras. And I love my current Accord now too. All were great cars.

@badbaddolemike 9 месяцев назад

Nice. My Mom recently bought one of these a few months ago. Its a 2012 3.7L SHAWD 6MT that had 125,000mi on the odo when purchased. I was so surprised that she bought a 6MT, because shes almost 70, lol! Im IN LOVE WITH THE CAR! I look for excuses just to drive it. Im VERY surprised by how well the car has held up as a whole. The previous owner had thorough service records, most of which at an Acura dealership. There is 1 bad rattle that occurs in/on the rear package tray when a song with a lot of bass plays(Ill fix it in 2 weeks), but other than that, there are ZERO squeaks or creeks with the chassis, body or rest of the interior. I replaced the pcv valve, cleared the headlight lenses, changed the oil & filter, changed the transfer case fluid, changed the MTF, changed the rear diff fluid, installed Acura logo puddle lights, fixed the roll-top like center console cupholder cover, fixed the rear seat armrest cupholder door, fixed a rear seat headrest release button, repaired a few tears on the inside bolsters of both front seats, replaced 2 interior door pull handles that were scratched, and I installed some interior led footwell lights. Now the car is in almost "like new" condition, lol. I honestly think that its a really good looking car as well; its white btw.

I’ve said many times that it’s a very under the radar car that far exceeds everything I expected. It is a GREAT car. My biggest fear is when it’s finally time to replace it, will I like my next car as much after 10 years on the road?

You were heavy on the throttle I'm guessing. I see 9-11 L/100 km in Ottawa when I commute, and 8 ish L/100 km on trips. Very efficient VVEL system makes it torquey down low, there's a lot more valvetrain magic going than in the J37 (TL). My '13 G is at 192K km, I've had it for 7 years and no sign of slowing down.

@mephisto212 9 месяцев назад

Hilarious, I just traded in my bimmer for a G35, and was considering a TL as well. I was getting sick of turbo lag everywhere and the transmission doing so much work. I'd rather be burning through gas and tires than having to wait for downshifts and turbo spool.

I bought the RDX with modifying it on my mind. The engine is pretty much a de-tuned version of a Civic Type R. If 2.0T accords with bolt on’s and upgraded turbos can achieve 400+whp I’m sure it’s the same story for the RDX as well.

It's hard to argue with the instant torque of a naturally aspirated 3.7L v6. Even though the 0-60 numbers are probably lower than something like a 2012 wrx, the instant torque will still make it feel faster in day to day driving. And when you compare this to modern 2.0L turbo cars, those things make you wait for almost an entire second before building enough boost for the first part of the turbo to kick in at 1500rpm, it's an awful experience and terrible when you're changing lanes on the freeway in traffic.

Not to mention you have all the reliability of these normal port injected engines. These TL's do have timing belts but the VQ engines in the g35/g37 don't. You also don't have the extra failure point of the oil filter housing mixing coolant and oil which is common on modern cars also (I think all german cars now and newer fords have this terrible design).

My Mom actually just bought one of these a few months ago. Its a 2012 SHAWD 6MT with 125,000mi, and honestly, its friggin awesome! I love driving it and find myself looking for things to do or places to go, just so I can drive it, using the excuse that it gets better mpgs than my suv, lol. One thing, eventhough this has a V6, it still has the same characteristics as Honda 4 cylinders, meaning if you wanna move, you gotta rev it out. For a V6, it doesnt have much low rpm torque to me, but I like that, because it gives an excuse to rev the shit out of it, lol.... If you drive it hard/rev high, it will probably burn about 1 to 1.5qts of oil between oil changes.... I really like the SHAWD system too, when doing a u-turn, if you are aggressive with the throttle, the rear end "slides" around nicely.

Weird the current gen TLX is about the same size but has a smaller seat. One thing that worries about going with the SHAWD is the 3.7 which has oil burning problem cause by a design defect. Probably why Honda stopped using it.😁

True, but I don't think it's that weird. The current TLX has a long dash-to-axle ratio while the 4G TL has more traditional FWD proportions.

@meeralrafee1875 9 месяцев назад

@@TheBreakfastLoverbut I wish the TLX was able to justify its size and weight gain. This is something I looked forward that it will have similar dimensions as the 4th gen TL.

Who everowned 2012+ TL with 3.7 v6. How bad is the oil consumption issue?

@TopDrumCorps 7 месяцев назад

No oil consumption issues. That’s also like the best problem to have with a car. Just top off oil every few thousand

Like someone else posted.. If you do 2 oil changes each year regardless of K & change the PVC valve each 40k like I do, It doesn't really matter how much oil it consumes. It should always be clean and close enough to full to prevent engine problems. Of course pull the dipstick, check & top up every 3 months.
