I check oil pretty regularly in all of my cars. If I didn't, I wouldn't have noticed how MUCH oil the car uses in VERY LITTLE TIME. I have to add a quart or MORE every 2 to 3 weeks of normal commuting. I would otherwise love the car. I bought it so that I could have a performance sedan as a regular commuter... relegating my 2004 VW32 Turbo to "toy" status in the garage (not a practical commuter).
The 2009 TL SH-AWD with the 3.7L 305HP V6 was a great solution... I THOUGHT. 5 years on from buying the car from Norris Acura in Ellicott City, MD in October 2015, it still is a blast to drive... BUT it is starting to fall apart. Headlights are completely fogged over and needs to be replaced. The exhaust heat-shield is rattling. The driver's door, and BOTH rear door lock actuators don't work and need to be replaced (after paying nearly $300 to have the actuator replaced on the front passenger door).
The windshield seal has almost completely come out from around the windshield. The leather has torn in a weird spot on the interior side of the driver's seat. BOTH door speakers are SHOT in an "ultra-premium" sound system (shortly after I bought it)... I could live with ALL of THAT...but the CONSTANT engine oil consumption SINCE I BOUGHT IT is REALLY starting to PISS ME OFF. As much fun as the car is to drive, I do NOT recommend Acura products to family, friends, and anyone else that will listen. BTW, we're a TWO Acura family. I bought my wife a MDX for a mother's day gift shortly after I bought my TL. I will be buying her a Suburban or other type of SUV in the future and I will buy the Tesla Model Y when it is in mass production (a colleague at work has the "performance" version of the Model 3 and LOVES IT). No more Acuras after the ones we have... a shame...
