I just got 7L/100km driving 1800km in Buick Regal all weekend (mostly highway). And that bitch makes 250hp and 300tq from a 2.0L turbo 4. The .gov rating is 8L/100km highway 
TLX better be able to do that or better. It's rated at 6.6L/100km hwy for the 4-cyl.

This is my second TLX and I obviously really like the car. The 18 is a huge improvement over my 15, so much so that it doesnt even feel like the same car.
Ive got a lead foot and drive mostly in the city and I still get around 9-10L/100km.
Denis if you even want to go for a boot, shoot me a pm.

How is the auto tranny on it? I can't imagine buying a TL/TLX as a sport sedan without a proper DSG...and it's a shame they don't come in manual. After driving a variety of cars, the honda manual tranny is so damn good. WTF is wrong with these OEM's, better yet what is wrong with people not buying manual and opting out for some third world paddle shift autos

I am OK with not driving manual but if you are an ethusiast and you settle for Cambodia tech pack Honda auto you have either never driven a proper paddle shift or you aren't an ethusiast.

I'd stay away from the B7 (and B8) A4s. The two litre turbos had/have an oil consumption issue. For the most part, Audi will cover the change of the pistons but you HAVE to have all of the oil service records to show from day one it's had it's oil changes every 15,000km or annually. If you're missing even one, you're looking at a $7k job at a dealer.
oh wow thanks. well that covers pretty much ALL years worth looking at lol.
is the S4 V8 motor better? vas what year is yours again?

My buddy's a5 got taken in today for phase 1 of the oil issue he has to top up the car every 200km.
The s4 v6 supercharged I don't have any oil consumption issues. The carbon build up also seems to plague the a4 mostly. Don't know of many ppl doing the carbon clean on s4's

TL is a great car. Only downside is that it's a big bitch yet doesn't have much room inside and the rear seats don't fold. Otherwise it's a perfect commuter.
