Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Luxurious, comfortable, fun to drive
Cons: Uses premium gas
The Bottom Line: I love driving this car! It's the nicest car I've had. The only negative thing about this car is that it uses premium gas.

This is the most luxurious car I’ve ever purchased, and I still love it after three years. Usually, by year three, I’m starting to get new car fever and I’m dropping hints to my husband that I may want to trade my car in. Features Bluetooth ... read more

Love this car, but I would tweak some things.

Pros: You get lotsa bang for the buck.
Cons: Need a little bit more consistency in the engineering dept. re. MPG
The Bottom Line: If you want something that isn't showy but gives you a lot of pleasure driving and yet is easy to operate, this might be the car for you.

Acura came up with a good looking, nice performing car that had all the features I wanted, but with a few drawbacks. The car is just the right size for commuting and traveling in. It has great handling and accelerates just fine. For its price range, it ... read more

Good Value until something actually needs to be fixed.

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No 

Pros: Good pickup, Good NAV, Comfortable seats.
Cons: Front wheel drive, Terrible turning radius, VERY Costly general repairs.
The Bottom Line: Wouldnt buy another TL. Probably would never buy another Acura.

I purchased my Acura TL new after deciding that driving a SUV was getting cost prohibitive with gas going up all the time. I liked the voice commands and the NAV and the interior is roomy and comfortable. The pick up is adequate (I have the 6 speed ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: looks, sound, price
Cons: no compass
The Bottom Line: Love it--might be the first car I actually keep!

I bought my 2005 Acura TL as a new car. I was comparing vehicles in the same class and spent far too much time at a competitors store where I was getting jacked around. I looked at the Acura TL and walked in the store. I told the guy that if he ... read more

Wow, what a car. The best there is.

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Killer engine, great interior, best handling and boy is it a looker.
Cons: A bit too much nose lean while pushing it, and sometimes slow to downshift.
The Bottom Line: Absolutly the best car for this segment and for some others too. If you havent already seen all it's awards then be prepared to be suprised.

Let's start with my expeirience about honda's/Acura's. Once upon a time in the year 2000 there was a car that that beat them all in just about every catorgory. I needed a car that was going to give me at least 250,000 flawless miles, was sporty enough ... read more

I love this car because... [1] It's fast (enough). [2] It accelerates nicely, even with automatic transmission. [3] Awesome value. It has tons of features for the money spent. [4] The in-dash navigation works better than many of its peers from the

hesitation problems with Acura TL
by tipartr

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 
Pros: Nicely put together, all the options. Impressive power.
Cons: Hesitation issues, torque steer
I bought an Acura TL Navi and have to say that I am not thrilled. It has a pronounced acceleration hesitation, especially when cold and a very noticeable torque steer when under hard acceleration from a stop. It's a well put together car and I thought it
