Nice Curtis... those cars are fun. It's too bad you couldn't have gotten the 6spd manual... my friends dad has one and I've driven it a lot... fun as hell.

The only problem with a FWD car with soft-ish suspension and 270 horsepower is the fucking torquesteer is TERRIBLE. Fun regardless though.

I'm really considering buying a new Jeep. With the tax incentive, the urgency of the dealers to move cars. And my employer just started a program where they will kick 2,000 at us for a new car.

If I could get the dealer to give me what I owe on mine I could probly do it.

Acura addressed that issue but I can't remember what year - 04 or newer I think. It's been quite awhile since I read up on the TL.

Congrats on the find! After my Camry dies I plan on getting the manual version. *Fingers crossed*! If only it wouldn't take so long for my Camry to wear out!!!

Consumer reports described the TL engine as 'The perfect engine." The back seat also has TONS of safety features!

the suspension I woundn't describe as soft its actually pretty firm for a luxury car. I haven't noticed all that much torque-steer only when i break the tires loose going around corners will it torque-steer a little. I tried to find a stick but all the ones i drove were all beat and honestly i like being able to relax in traffic. Plus my vette is a stick so if i want to have a lot of fun ill take that out for a beat run

Local GC's are about 10K off sticker, with 0% APR for 5 years OAC.

Great deal if you want a new jeep.
