Bought a New Daily Driver this weekend

Vettezilla (Impala Balko) · 03-10-2009, 11:52 PM

Well I was long overdue for a new vehicle, and since I have been shopping around for this particular vehicle for about 2 months now I finally caved in this weekend and pulled the trigger on one.

Its a 2005 Acura TL (Anthracite metalic/gray interior) 5 speed Auto, non Navigation with 50k on the clock.

The car is surprisingly quick for what it is and it is so smooth and nice. Just what I needed for my 70 mile per day commute, you know what I do not mis the clutch pedal when I am stuck in gridlocked traffic both ways on my daily commute into the Boston area every day.

here is the wifes new Honda in front of our new town house we purchased this year.... (I guess that was her solution to her broken gas door that we never got around to fixing on her 2005 civic coupe)

I couldnt recommend one more... It is a blast to drive. The car gets decent gas mileage if you can stay off of it. It is plenty comfortable, and has more luxury features than one could ever need. Plus not to mention it is quick, handles well. I love it and I just wish it wasnt soo much to insure just simply because its an Acura.

My daily drivers have four wheels, if you combine the two of them together.

Thanks for the review man. I figured the insurance would be a little pricey but thats not a huge deal. I just love the thought of 260+ hp and a good amount of luxury without being crazy expensive.
