I purchased a 2005 TL in October of 2005. A year and a half later, I have only 9400 miles on it, yet I'm completely frustrated with the driving experience. My 1999 TL drove very differently. It was smooth, and driving felt wonderful. The 2005, however, has a really choppy ride, and vibrates so much that passengers ask me if I have a flat tire. The dealer has been unable to help me in any way. I've been told that 2004-2006 Acuras have a different suspension (fixed with 2007). My "performance" tires go flat after the tires sit for 3-4 hours, so the first 5-10 minutes of each ride it feels like I have a flat. Plus, the car vibrates far more than any other luxury car I've ever driven. The Infiniti had a much better ride. I've driven Hondas and Acuras since I was 16, and I can say that they're not what they used to be. Don't assume you get what you pay for. They put more energy into the gadgets and the fancy blue lights than they did to the driving experience itself. (Also, gas mileage is only 22 mpg.)
