Is the acura tlx v6 awd good, or should i go for the honda accord coupe v6 at
I was originally looking at the accord coupe, because im looking for a car that is relatively quick, very reliable and can last very long, and is sporty/stylish. and both the accord and the tlx do it for me. I originally wanted the accord until i found out i could get a used acura tlx awd of the same year for close to the same amount of money with maybe just a but more miles, and the fact it’s more luxurious and all wheel drive makes me want it over the accord (and the fact i figure it SHOULD be as or almost as reliable as the accord) however, i saw that it has some transmission problems for certain years, i was wondering if anyone could give me guidance as to if i could get a v6 awd tlx and have it last to like 150k miles and not have any major problems? or should i stick to the accord coupe and just deal with the front wheel drive?
the question is in the title
Please don't do that.
To answer your question,
- Pass on the Acura. The V6 has cylinder deactivation and it will not hold up over time.
- Change the PCV valve. If it still does it, then your engine is worn out.
isn’t there a way to turn off cylinder deactivation? and i thought the honda accord coupe had it as well
You'd have to retune the ECU which is not a do-it-yourself job.
oh okay cool thanks, last question, if i get the acura and get a trusted good mechanic i know to do an ecu tune up would it be good? i just heard from a friend that they have transmission issues and when i looked it up online it said it was only specific years
