Hey Scotty, I just bought a 2009 Acura TL FWD with 115,000 miles for my daughter who is going away to college next year. The car was owned by a Canadian couple who only drove it 6 months out of the year here in the winters in Arizona.  Car is in great shape, always garaged and very well maintained at the local dealership including $3000 worth of recent maintenance changing the timing belt/water pump, flushing transmission fluid and tune up.  What is your opinion of this 3.5L engine?  It has a lot of power (maybe a little too much for an 18 year old girl) but I wanted something dependable for her while she's out of state at school.  After watching one of your recent videos, we were considering a similar year Lexus IS250 or 350.  I love the fact that those cars were made in Japan where the Acura is assembled in Ohio.  Which do you think is a more dependable Car?  Also, owners manual is saying 91 octane premium fuel only, would 87 octane be OK?  

Thanks,
