by the way stop saying motor engine is what you sposted to say
From 2020
You forgot about the 2012 impala
Not cheap. But not expensive. 3.0mkz awd. Sleeper.
I bought a new TL in 2005 and had it until 2009. I absolutely LOVED that car. Great lines, decent performance, and Honda/Acura quality.
My mom owns one now, definitely a solid car
Guess is what happens when you use the same v6 for 30 years.
@@aaronmcconkey1062 if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
Always wanted a type s
I’ve got a 2nd gen TL type S. She’s a sleeping beauty. Got it for 2k
I have an '08 Acura TL Type S. 5.5 0-60 through a 6 speed LSD trans, Brembos, and all the suspension upgrades, AND it's over 100lbs lighter than the base model. It's an Accord that got the Type R treatment and is a North American Exclusive.
That 3.5 kicks hard
@@puckles7585 you're GD right it does.
Facts, I still have my KBP 6 spd Type S, love the car
@@PhatMikeSP1 dang. Mine is grey, I've always wanted a KBP but couldn't find ANY
Got an 08 manual myself..Moroccan red pearl
TSX is another sleeper as well 2.4L 4C engine with the right mods can produce 600+ or for even more power the 3.2L v6 variant.
Yup tsx is a dark horse sleeper 😏
Yeah but that’s if u add a turbo a lot of money and work
yah this guide is for stock cars that are sleepers by themselves. On that note let me add a turbo to my 07 camry 3.5l and i will be smoking just about any car on the road.
DuhShazey Exactly hard to do easy to say
@@ItzzShazey you know the v6 Camry slept on when it won’t even make it on the sleeper list 😭
I had a sleeper at one point in time. It was a 1999 Toyota Tacoma with TRD Supercharger. Not sure if anything else was done to it, but you could feel the G's. I beat a Dodge 5.8 SS truck or whatever it's called and the guy was in disbelief. That was a fun truck. Why do we sell things and regret it later? I have a new Tacoma at the moment and looked up supercharging it. For some reason, it doesn't seem to add much speed on the newer versions.
I’ve got a 2008 TL Type S with 260k miles on it. That thing is bulletproof if you maintain it. Love it as a daily, had it since 2013 with 130k miles
I bought my 2008 acura tl type s in may one owner 134k timing timing belt water pump changed really alot of maintenance done and i love the car i daily mine as well.
If you cant afford the TL type s, i would say go for a TSX you get the iconic k24 honda motor and it can even be found in a bulletproof 6 speed option.
I just picked one up as my first manual car and im in love, sure its not incredibly fast off the line but once vtec activates that thing will be screaming down the highway
Plus the stock internals on the k24 and even the stock tranny are good for 350hp and with some basic stuff swapped out for stronger aftermarket parts, then 400-450hp is a fairly doable with a kraftworks supercharger or a turbo kit. The TSX/ accord euro is a very good platform to mod.
i love the TSX
Isn’t it just an accord?
@@Pg-ch5nb nah tsx is the luxury version of the accord, with a more powerful motor
I have a 14’ TSX as my daily driver, great car
I love my TL Type S. Had it for 6 years now and just cracked 220k. I can’t imagine driving anything else.
The TL type-s is probably the least sleepy on this list, but also, the best buy and best looking
I used to have a 02 acura and damn it was really quick. Going 130 was pretty easy to do. The only thing is the 6 cylinders have crazy transmission issues. Cylinoids going out is common for acura tls.
3.6 Impala fleet is a great option, but the prices have started to go back up closer to 10K
I have an 03 SVT focus with a vortech supercharger I’m getting ready to sell. It dynos at 276 to the front wheels. It’s a fun little car to drive, not the fastest but still fun.
When you mentioned the Focus, I was really surprised you didn't mention the SVT Focus. I had one for YEARS and it was a kick ass little car. I had a pretty rough example (my first car) and it still was fairly pain free. Quick, light, agile, 6 speed, and look super unassuming unless you know what you're looking at. They made supercharger kits out the wazoo for this thing, too. Great sleeper.
I thought about getting one of those but I got a SAAB instead
Fun thing i drive one of those today. Never had so much fun with a car. Also you tend to win races because the other guy has to shift when you hit 5k rpm in 3rd.
My dad has one and I can definitely agree
Talking about the 9-2x. They are basically just a normal WRX that's just more "luxurious". They never got sold in Sweden because they were intended for the American market (too bad). I would want to own one because I actually like the styling. Not more than a normal WRX but still quite good. And the performance is quite good. I like some old Saab T5 engine sounds but boxsters, they sound hella nice
Just bought a 2010 Mazda 3 gt. It has a 2.5L i4, 6 spd trans and can be pretty quick with an exhaust and intake! 170 hp and same tq stock, and these engines are almost bulletproof! got it with less than 60kj miles for around 9k cad, i love it!
Have an ‘08 TL Type S 5spd barely modded at 107k miles it still runs like a charm. LED bulbs, KENWOOD double din media player, drilled brake rotors and sitting on 19s. That’s it. No matter what new car I buy next I’ll always miss that transmission when you really push it. What I won’t miss was replacing said transmission 😅
Thank you for finally doing the redline! Mine was pushing 310 horsepower and I was gapping corvettes😂 Their extremely light weight at 2700 pounds and so easy to make fast!
🧢🧢🧢
@@TheNutshaq seems like somebody doesn’t understand the concept of power too weight ratio.
@@Chriskary1 I do, but corvettes don’t weigh that much more, unless you were tapping corvettes on their last legs
@@TheNutshaq it was a 2005 corvette. Some they make around 400 horsepower. Then I got Pontiac G8 , Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R spec , mustang GT easily and knocked out a bunch of Hondas.
@@TheNutshaq don’t sleep on the redline! It puts out power right away because of the super charger then when you upgrade parts too the super charger , charge pipe, cat delete and bigger fuel injectors with upgraded fuel pump and a really good intake you’ll easily make 350HP. My shit wasn’t even tuned making 310 we Dino tested it on top of that 2700 curb weight. That’s equivalent too a normal car making around 450-500. Power to weight ratio is everything buddy. You don’t need a boat loud of power to be fast. It’s all science
Either the Focus or the TL for me. But I’m gonna wait a little longer and wait for prices to drop a little more. Inflation is still high for my taste.
TL 100%. You wont regret it, I never did
I have to admit I like my acura TL SH-AWD . It's surprising how well it handles and how quick it accelerates on the highway.
The 2000- 2005ish Buicks were actually really well built cars and cheap to own and maintain, a lot of people have reported getting well over 200-300k miles.
Just bought my 08 tl type s last year, and honestly, i LOVE IT 😍
How’s the gas mileage? I wanna get one but it’s only 20 mpg. Does it get annoying having to pay premium and all
I remember my pops had a focus with a 5speed it wasn’t a hatch though. Man that thing was quick I was shocked how it moved back then lol.
I have an 08 TL type S that i bought at 120k miles. The last owner took great care of it and was up to date with every repair. Im sitting at 160k miles and have only had to change the oil. I bought it for 7.5k before prices shot up and im telling you right now, for style, reliability, speed, and luxury you cannot find a better car for the price. People that don't know about the car think its a 2014-2018 because the style doesn't look outdated compared to todays cars.
and arguably better looks since after 3rd gen of tls they all look like dogshit
pretty much did the same. bought mine from the oringal owner with all the service records at 120k miles. two years later at about 155,000. outside of oil changes I have had a few things, rear brake caliper seized up last year. so ended up doing both rear calipers, pads and rotors. One of the A/c Shrader valves begin to leak. cost me $5 for a new Shrader valve and already had the tool to replace it, plus about 10 minutes of my time. The starter went too, well rather the ground went on it and i could have just replaced the ground strap but i couldn't see it til I had the starter out and already had the new one so just replaced it anyway.
That said, I pretty much stole it from the original owner at $1000, knowing it needed a cat which i bought OEM for $600 and put in myself. so all in $1,600 for what was roughly 5k before the prices started climbing, cant complain for the few issues i had lol
I LOVE that ion redlines are getting some love, I have one at stage 3, yet to be tuned and dyno'd, but I love this thing so much!
Btw I bought mine in amazing condition, tons of service records, 70k miles, for only 6.5k.
I had one pushing 310 horsepower on stock ride height! It was my ultimate sleeper and it was gapping corvettes and other muscle cars 😂
@@Chriskary1 That's crazy man, I bet they were hurtin'!
It's an ugly car but it would be fun to gap some cars...
@@MartinJones123 i think it looks good, and yes it'll be fun
@@MartinJones123 it is but that’s why I had it! It made it even funnier to beat people in races
Love the Acuras looks, but Id go for the Buick!
GREAT VID!!! keep up the great content!! Brad I think i saw you in downtown Bend Oregon one time, or at least I saw your jeep
2005 Chrysler Crossfire (AMG) SRT-6. I used to run 11's with bolt-ons & a tune
I owned an 03 focus zx5, then I bought an 04 focus zx3 SVT. I love it, just enough power to have fun and it goes around turns perfectly.
If reliability isn't a huge factor and you just want an LS V8 sleeper, get a 2006-2009 Impala SS. They came with a 300hp LS4 V8 and looked like any other Impala fleet car. The transmissions were a bit sus though, and tended to be ticking time bombs because they were never meant to handle that much power and torque.
Honestly man.. those things are dogs just like the 2000-2010 lincoln ls v8 3.9l with 280hp, they were fast back in like 2003 but after that V6s were performing much better stock. I put busses on this one guy who was definitely catless in my 07 camry 3.5l pushing 270 and the torque was 258, took it from a 20 roll all the way to 120 but I think he gave up by the time i hit 100 since he wasn't in front of me.
The 3.6 would honestly be the best route unless you are looking to dump cash. A little less torque, but around the same HP and a much more reliable 6 speed with the Impala fleet. LFX is tuneable with plenty of Camaro parts able to be modified to fit
@@R3AL-AIM I own the 3.6 impala and I love it, I beat several SS with it and a lot of the cars on this list actually. I managed to get mines for about 5k down side is well there’s is not to many mods for performance which is why I believe it did not make this list. Alot of the camaro parts won’t fit the 3.6 because the impala is FWD and the camaro is RWD so the engines are facing two different ways. Still a really great sleeper and can be tuned easy by several shops. Also if u get the flex fuel one like mines I’ll be saving gas money E85 is only around $3 a gallon where im at.
If reliability isn’t a huge factor as the Honda & Toyota guys aren’t sweating..that SS you speak of has been spanked by both, if you did it in A 3.2..that SS was on its last leg.😂
One of my aunts old boyfriends has a first gen TL that he out ran the cops on 95 in. My aunt and here boyfriend even had a lawsuit over it when they broke up because he was married to someone else. She ended up losing and had to keep a old Corolla that she was still making payments on instead of the TL . I love V6 honda engines. My Dad took my Grandparents old V6 first year Accord and redid the suspension and did a tuned it up. It's still one of the fastest cars I have ever driven in my life. I remember one night coming home from work I kept up with a wrx on the road. He ended up getting into a wreck and the car was totaled because of the high mileage that was on it. He ended up buy a Ford ranger and had that thing for years. I may start looking for a good V6 honda instead of a sports car. I have a CVT Altima that I do not service so it's a ticking time bomb like the video said.
Here’s another car for your next sleeper video look up the Hyundai Genesis 5.0 r spec they make 430 horsepower stock! They go for 10-15k
10th gen Ford Thunderbird it does not matter which one you get v6/v8 they're both fast both can be found under 3-5000. If you come across the supercharged version for cheap BUY IT.
Picked up a focus se hatchback with the 5 spanual, but was also considering the tl. Probably should have went tl.
Thanks for the video i was waiting for that. 😁👍
If I ever see an AWD 6 speed TL, I'm buying it on sight
I have a Acura TSX 2010 it’s fun to drive everything stock but want a lil more power what mod should I do?
My TL is on 300 rn and only just recently had to get a bracket for my brakes the maintenance is impeccable
My Altima is a v6 6spd manual. Still runs high 4s 0-60 all these years later. Converting to a lsd made it even better.
got a 04 6 speed manual transmission i buy it 4 years ago as my first car and still had it 188k miles but they are just great cars and can make it look good without putting too much on it...Wheels, suspession and interior Thats all you need to make it look great and ofc keep up with maintenance
I have a tl, got it in a trade and was gonna flip it, drove it around and well its been 3 years and aside from oil changes and the power steering rack its like driving a good looking camry.
I daily an '07 Acura TL Type S, sweet car, love seeing it on this list 👍
I’ve owned a 04 Acura tl 6-speed… loved it and now have an 05 accord v6 6 speed great cars.
04 TL on 20' TSW Rallies, lowered on full coilovers. I only drive it sometimes but it always turns heads, auto trans are huge weak points so try for a manual.
Good list. Subscribed
you should do one on RWD cars that are easy to learn to throw around on a track.
The answer is always miata
you can buy a Mitsubishi Galant/Lancer, for about $4-5K decent miles, the galant comes with the (4g69), which was in the VR4 ( 4g63TT) hits about 155-165hp but the stock crate can hit about 350+hp with after market parts
I have an 2002 Acura TL type S that runs great. I’ve broken 140 mph on a 2 lane country road. I’m surprised how strong the engine still pulls and how well the car handles corners. My brother used to own it and he added a large transmission oil cooler.
My kid has mine now. I rolled a lot of people in that. Kid tells me today, "I'm driving down the empty freeway and I look down....105." Yeah. It's easy to do
1:49 I have a 2 door 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 sr and it's QUICK! Sometimes I'm shocked by the quickness no lie!!!
The Buick park Ave was a boat but was smooth af on the highway, like riding on a couch I loved it.
My sleeper was a 99 Volvo S70 awd turbo. My one and only real race was vs a Chevy SS.
We were dead even for a few seconds when that turbo started to really wind - crept away from the dude.
I loved my '99 S70, those things were a little rocket. Absolutely a sleeper. Ended up selling it to the neighbor and now have an '06 S60 R. My only negative with it is the shift delay between 1st and 2nd, but it has the geartronic so I can drive it as a manual.
The crazy part is moving to hyundai/ kia isn't a downgrade anymore. Even the elantra got a decent upgrade.
I have 2 2008 Acura tl. One base and one type s... both are under 60 thousand miles.... I love it ..... I'm going to keep them for as long as I can
Best daily: 2007-2008 G35x
AWD
306 HP
Handles great
Reliable
Looks great
Only downsides are the 17-18mpg premium required and the slow shifting transmission. (Sport mode helps)
Drove one for three years. Good vehicle
The Camry wasn’t mentioned but that’s the ultimate sleeper. More sold so the 4 cyl is the most common but the V6 2GR FE is faster than the Nissan V6 and the Honda V6 and more reliable
Camrys aren't cheap
@@xL0stKIlah ? Used? 2007-2017..
@@Devilsadvocate1281 try 1997 lol. A good 07 is going for around 7k if you are lucky
@@xL0stKIlah which is insane to think about since im an an owner of the 3.5l. But man am i happy it is getting appreciated for what it is by the market.
No way a Camry is faster than a v6 accord 03-17 smokes any year Camry
I’ve owned two cars on this list, the Buick and the Acura and now I own a Saab 9-3 2.0T
Thanks!!!! Thant's what I'm looking for Cheap Power...I do like the Saab and a the TL :)
The altima se-r came with a manual lol and the coupes as well
Mazdaspeed 3, except they're going up in value
What your call the Acura TL is what we call the Honda Accord Euro, only ours has a K24 with VTec
Those Buick 3800 SC'd are great first cars for a teen. You can fit your friends and keep it running and still have fun without killing yourself (driving sensibly)
I have a history of sleepers. They’re my favorite type of quick car. The RS2 might be my favorite of all time for being one of the best sleepers.
I had a 2003 CL Type S 6 speed (rare, only 3500 made). It was quick, especially for the time. The Honda LSD and six speed were great.
Two GTi (2002 and 2017) both tuned). 3k lbs, sticks and 300+hp. Muscle cars were always surprised in a line and both handled beautifully.
2013 S4. Supercharged 3 liter. Tuned to 444hp, Quattro AWD and a tuned DSG. Most people just thought it was an A4, had to know to look for quad exhaust+wider body+special calipers. Best 0-60 I recorded on draft was 3.6 w/rollout. It slayed from light to light. I frequently got shocked thumbs up and or WTF is that thing looks.
My current carries the tradition. RWD 2018 340i MPPSK. I de-badged… if I have it comfort mode you need to really know what you’re looking at to tell it’s not your normie 3 series. There are clues (factory M decal on side skirt, the blue M calipers, the MPPSK has a special rear diffuser) but largely similar enough to a 328i to blend into traffic. In sport mode though the b58 and MPPSK exhaust sort of blows your cover. Especially with a downpipe and tune. Factory staggered RWD, four piston Brembos, near 50-50 weight distribution, 3555lbs on stock heavy wheels (my summers are 20lbs vs 28lbs stock. All the elements of a great sports sedan and actually really light for a modern carc especially one with so much luxury (like a HUD, full leather, ect.) The b58/ZF8 combo is well established at this point (the Supra uses the same, I just needed four doors for the family!). Stock, it’s good. Tune both and mild bolt ons and it’s well documented you have a giant slayer on your hands. 390rwhp on just 93, close to 500 on E40. Nothing like blending into traffic until a 392 roles up and wants to play (most car guys still spot you, or at least hear the b58 thrum) and you can send them packing with a large gap. If you pass the cops, good luck hiding your lime green SRT… I can pop it into comfort (valved exhaust) and my grey debadged 3 series is a lot less likely to get noticed… its great to spank a new c8 Vette in my “plain” car! Being stage 2+ on e40 you’re talking low 11s @124+ and high 7s/low 8s for 60-130. So much fun…
You didn't mention a 1974 caddy sedan deville in , I fell a sleep driving it because it was so smooth and comfortable and quiet!
Like driving a lazy boy. The 04 town car Cartier edition gets my vote, tho.
I recently bought a Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, yall should make a video on it because it's slept on
to speak on the v6 altima , me and my grandparents had to get a car for me urgently , so we found the 2005 altima 3.5 . it had an exhaust and a cold air intake . man that thing was quick off the line
I would have to agree the TL isn’t the most ideal… but I can say I absolutely love mine. I had a base and I bought a Type-S for half what I paid for the base model! Couldn’t recommend the car more. Could use a little more legroom in the back and better gas mileage but shes sure got plenty smiles per gallon.
I just got my first car at age 20 and its a Hyundai Elantra 2013 is that a good car to customize
I have a 98 Honda Accord sedan with a j35a3 block, j32a2 heads and pistons, and full bolt on. I’m managing 13.3 on regular street tires, trapping out at 108mph.. oh 6Speed LSD transmission also..
I know someone who has a tl it’s not bad like at all holds up really well super cumfy I slept in it multiple times and honestly not bad for the price at all
The Saab 93 or 95 are both great
However a Saab with a 2.3 motor is the best for tuning, 300-500 stock.
Maptune offers the most common ECU tuning for SAAB.
I have an 04 9-5 and that's what I've been hearing
I have a 9-3 arc it's a great car
I had a 06 Altima v6 5spd I got it for 300 bucks cuz of some minor body damage and I had no idea it was gonna be so fun I did lots of burnouts in that torquey lil beast
I own an 07 TSX Acura makes great cars, perfect blend of comfort, sportiness, and reliability.
My TL had 152,000 miles when I got it and still ran almost perfect 💯
i have a ‘10 Tsx w a 3.5 and a chip tuner so i got abt 380 Hp w my Cold air intake and my Exhaust set up as a 5 Speed
as a bonus to the nissan v6 sharing: the renault espace also had a v6 option
I have the 2012 Altima V6 6MT and it’s so much fun. I rarely see them
I have a 04 Honda Accord v6 manual coupe red and This will be my fun project car and it looks hot and fast af
want the saab but none in my area for sale :( what do i do ?
Tbh, but I don't consider a TL a sleeper. The j32 gets up and goes but the only thing you'll be beating is a civic. TL is still pretty heavy, you'd have to get a bolt on supercharger to make it a sleeper
9:30 TL is the *BEST* on this lineup
212k+ miles on my 3G TL, original drivetrain.
Bulletproof.
I drive an 01 Buick Lesabre Custom w/ less than 90km. But I've been eyeballing a lil 4cyl down the road.....lol
I have an Acura TL type S right now that still runs like a champ.
Kinda surprised the Pontiac Vibe GT/Toyota Matrix XRS didn't make the list. Thing is a wagon with a Toyota C60 manual that has relations with LOTUS. The 2ZZ-GE engine can take either a turbo or supercharger, and revs to 8000 RPMs, plus this thing called LIFT from the VVTL-i 1.8 four-banger. Have fun messing with those Audi and STi enthusiasts.
My 2002 Acura tl is still kicking and it can move o even manage to keep up with a dodge Durango I think the Durango was 2017 and I wasn't even going full throttle with it
I’m personally looking for a first car and I’m making a list, saw the first car was a wagon and it’s ON THE LIST BABY!
I LOVE WAGONS
Had a 2004 TL. Best car I have ever had. Got it up to 200k before selling it. Nothing wrong at all.
I have a Ford Focus ZX3 for Work and Buick Park Avenue Ultra for The Family.
Tsx also is a great option, k24a2, a true jdm car with jdm aftermarket support, and looks way better
I have a 98 grand am se with a 3400 sfi swap its beat a lightly modded cobalt and a crown Vic so far still got taken to gapplebees by a scat pack lol
Now are any of these good on snow?
i have a tl with the manual only 83k on it love this car
I miss my old 2000 Ford Focus ZTS but I had a 2.0 zetec motor in it.
1st generation TSX w the 6 speed is a great option too.
You missed a couple. Mazdaspeed 6. Looks like a standard Mazda 6 but is 2.3L turbo AWD With a big aftermarket.
My 2005 tsx is a sleeper a street legal jdm car and they are getting popular and hard to find bc the k24 they have
Bro I just bought a 9-2x lol. Honestly love it !!!!
What about the infiniti G35 or 37 platform?
I used to have a 2001 regal gs with the supercharged 3.8 and little work made that a quick little shit haha
If you don’t want the Altima stigma just get the 2007 or later v6 camry. Same performance, just as a reliable engine if not more and waayyyyyyy more reliable transmission.
I know this one out there, but the Mazda Millenia came supercharged. Just throwing that out there.
1995 Nissan Sunny 2MZFE is gonna be a sleeper. Factory 155kw and I'm going to be turboing it and it should get close to 215kw. Sunny only costed me $850
2MZFE has a potential 295kw on stock internals
