Really enjoyed this good job. Was looking at both cars you mentioned and you gave me goid Insight on the Acura TL Type-S from a driver's point of view...thank you
The TLX has more horsepower, but they did drop the displacement to 3.0L So, on the initial romp, there is nothing like a naturally aspirated larger engine. That said, 2008 TL Type-S has a 0-60 at 5.5 seconds vs. the 2023 TLX Type-s at 5.1 seconds. (depending on the data source) That's barely noticeable. I wouldn't worry about it!
The timing belt is not the only expensive thing to service on this thing if you have a stick shift car like I do and the clutch goes That's a $2800 job because you got to drop the whole subframe and support the engine with a special tool That's not fun but other than that It's not too bad
Im looking at an 08 type s with 170K miles car is stock and its $9955 its gonna be my A to B car not necessarily my daily driver I have a 22 scat and an 06 srt8 grand cherokee I'm just sick of spending money on gas all the time for my V8s
The cars so much faster in Drive rather than using paddles or bump shift. I’d highly recommend a M3 if you’re looking for something more sporty and faster. E46 is a very fun car for around the same money. I went from a e46 M3 to a tl type s because adulting and getting old but I really miss and prefer the BMW e46 M3. 👍🏼
It may be faster in auto, but I enjoy using the paddles/bump shift for more engagement. The M3 would certainly be quicker and more of a sports car but it will not have the reliability of the TL and will be more expensive. But if reliability isn’t as important to the buyer then an m3 is a pretty good option.
@@FullThrottleCars if reliability and cost are high priorities then getting a manual would be a better option too. Driving in the manual setting is suuuper hard on a single clutch transmission. The car also has grade logic control so while using the sequential sport shift it’s learning how you drive and will start to shift in those higher rpm and more aggressive shifts. That’s going to be much harder on the transmission and the reliability will go away quite quickly.
Yea that makes sense, but I don’t use it all the time. If it would be used everyday for every mile you drive it could lead to more transmission wear but if you only use it every so often it shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
Just bought the same exact car and same color with 125,000 miles, i love it so much
Awesome!
I enjoy driving my 2008 type-s, right now I have about 21,500 miles and still have original tires that came with it.
Wow that’s crazy! It’s basically new then. Awesome!
Best daily car ever, I got a manual 04 with the 07-08 type s front aspec lip I won’t ever sell or trade for another car in my lifetime
Awesome!
Me too bro got a nigthawk black 04 6mt with aspec kit & atpl quad exhaust
@@madisonpeequaquat2444 that quad exhaust is filthy, I’m jealous
What is the ride like when driving over cracked, bumpy roads? I have a tsx and it rocks you around.

Great video, TL-S are 🔥. I got a silver one with 3rd cat delete and Dynomax Race Bullet resonator, easy mod that really wakes up the sound. Peace
Thank you! Awesome, I bet that sounds pretty good!

You forgot to mention you’d be a single child, if it weren’t for this family sedan;)😊

Wow that is a lot. I didn’t know that was so expensive. Thanks for the info!
@@FullThrottleCars Yeah it's a monumental pain to change the clutch
Yup shit was mad expensive

awesome! it will definitely get better mpg than those. I typically get around 24-25 mpg, but that is a lot of highway driving.
@Full Throttle Cars its been a car I've wanted since high school I've waited long enough im gonna pull the trigger on it next weekend
@@RobertSmith-vz9ethow long it last you?
With a tl , $20 bucks get u dam there half a tank
@@RobertSmith-vz9et update ?
Carbon Bronze Pearl👌
It is a cool color!
Pre cat delete, lightweight crank pully, & jpipe & your good to go 😂😂
Alright, thanks for the suggestion.
My 06 6speed base has brembo calipers too
Nice!

Heard these have bad transmission
From my knowledge the transmission problems were mostly in the 2004-2005 years of the normal TL.
04-06 have the bad trannies .. I just picked me up a silver type s with 136k for cheap . But needs new timing belt and new hubs .
Yea if you drive automatica
