A car we are both happy with!

by evelynmch
Nov 02 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Economical but powerful performance, excellent build quality, handling and braking
Cons: Seatbelt adjustment, and voice recognition does not live up to the hype
The Bottom Line: A well designed, sporty, well-made car that hugs the road, with a great sound system and clean looks

When our lease was ending in May of 2006 on an Audi A6, I was dreading the prospect of car shopping. When we leased the Audi, the kids and I voted Hubby off the island. Dragged from dealership to dealership, on the quest for the perfect car that I was ...

ACURA TL -- A car I don't regret buying

by moremail
Mar 08 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great Mileage, head turner, lots of features, great price and resale value!
Cons: Brake rotors need replacement after less than 15k, subwoofer needed replacement.
The Bottom Line: If I was back at the dealership on day one, I would still buy this car, I don't regret my purchase one bit!

Great freeway car, city below par, poor craftsmanship

by walburgh
Sep 22 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Awesome level of standard features, Xenon's are brilliant, Comfortable trips. Loaner cars, needed them.
Cons: Bad integrity of body, sagging headliner!!! too many loose parts!!! Quality Control BAD!
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend a long and thorough test drive and check everything! Its a great car, just be sure it came off the line with Acura quality.

What a ride on the freeway/highway, good MPG got about 31mpg going over 75mph, darn good. Solid feel and low noise on smooth highways, some noise over course roads. City MPG okay about 19-20mpg, must drive very slow in order to achieve a better ...

A fine car for my needs, still a good choice 1 year later

by dave2k
Nov 30 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good handling and ride, great features, good mileage
Cons: Poor navigation maps and point of interest information
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car for anyone who wants a comfortable sedan with sporty handling and nice equipment.

I've now had my 2006 Acura TL for over a year and if I had to replace it today I would probably buy another TL. When shopping for this car my first choices were the Lexus IS or ES. The Lexus IS was too small and the ride of the ES was too much like ...

Acura TL 4 Me
by javarunner  
Jul 20 '06 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Great looks, driveability, smoothness and finish.
Cons: Can't think of any.
This 2006 TL is one of the finest cars I've ever owned (I've gone thru about 20 cars). It is very competitive with all the BMW's, Audi's, Lexus and so on. Interior finish is excellent as are the amenities. It's very obvious that Acura really thought about this car when they were designing it. Roadholding and road-feel are very Euro - it tracks like it's on rails without any noticeable instability. Really smooth engine and gear box - I have manual 6-speed. As with all close-ratio boxes, you have to be aware of engine speed -v- road speed.
Overall,a real driver's real car!

Dont do it
by dedmonds

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 
Pros: power, amenities
Cons: everything else
Would be an awesome car if not for all the interior rattles, squeaks and shoddy construction. I just sold my and it was only 9 months old. Dealer kept saying they could only find one noise that they fixed, but could find anything else. After that the headliner fell off too. Nice job Acura

Great Car Without Navi
by ponderpoint  
Feb 16 '07 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Famous Acura quality. Impressive car
Cons: Navigation system needs to match quality of portables, especially given the price!
Absolutely no complaints except the ones with navigation. Automotive industry really needs to do better with this or leave it out. Portable dashtop navi's are far cheaper with fantastical capabilities compared to in-dash. You cannot pre-program unit with your desires/weights or constraints such as outlawing u-turns or interstates. The level of detail is HORRIBLE. It will not plot secondary routes utilizing backroads in cases of traffic jams on state or interstate routes If you are already using a portable navigation unit you will be extremely disappointed, especially because of it's price.
