"I've owned 2 hondas before and accord and a civic. Then i got the acura thinking it will be reliable as the other hondas. 2 months after i bought it i had to change the timing chain and it started losing power after a little while. I sold it in less than 6 months. I probably won't buy another acura ever."

"I bought this car the day after christmas and have not looked back. The interior is seamless and flows very well. the cd player is very accessible and does not distract you while driving. Bluetooth works well with the Iphone and sounds clear. I would recommend you to go and test drive the car so you can enjoy the same things i have for weeks now."

"I bought a red 2005 Acura TL with 60,000 miles on it. This car handles and drives like a dream. There is some road noise but it's not overly loud. The performance of the car has been phenomenal. It handles and accelerates very well. The turning radius is not as tight as some sports cars I have driven but it has not detracted from the experience for me. So far, this is is the best car I have owned."

"After looking at other mid to small sedans the Acura TL stood out. Black ext with tan leather int., plenty of pick-up, small enough to minimize blind spots but can hold 4(or 5) comfortably. Small gas tank so the range is low. Haven't figured out mpg yet. Killer stereo, GPS, heated seats. My son is looking at rims and window tint to spice it up. Only have owned car for about two months, no big problems other than the stereo buttons have a mind of their own."

"I had been eying the 2004-2008 TL for quite some time. I think it has one of the best body styles out there. I looked for MONTHS trying to find a stick shift and truth be told they are super rare. When a 2005 6-speed came up online, I went direct to the dealer after work and bought it. Although the performance is incredible and powerful, the gas mileage is awful. You have to use super premium, which is *extra* expensive on top of the crazy high prices they are already. I get maybe 23 miles to the gallon. But, I figure for it not only being a luxury vehicle it is incredibly reliable. A small price to pay for that piece of mind. Upsides: they also hold their retail value fantastically and have a lot of perks: navi, butt warmers, dual climate control, power everything, etc. A couple of downsides which may seem trivial at first, but actually have become quite inconvenient. There is no light in the glove box. Also, my head rest creates a blind spot when I look over my shoulder, and I had to remove it completely. Although I suppose if you're not 5'4", it may not be problem. Overall, great pick."

"I have the manual with A-Spec package, which is a great combo for performance and driving excitement. There is minimal torque steer for a front wheel drive, excellent in corners and plenty of power. The audio system sounds great as well."

"I've had 3 batteries replaced under 4 yr for 05 TL. The machanics @ dealerships state part of the issues was I was only commuting less than 15 mi/day & for less than a hour. Ever since then, I've been super cautious to not even leave my door or reading light accidently on, or listen to the radio when the engine is off at any pt. Few wks ago, it died again. Guess b/c I didn't remove my key from the ignition while the engine was off for less than 10 minutes. Now I have a carry a generator in my car in case I'm strained alone. Car stiffens in the morning & colder days. I will not purchase an Acura again."

"not as fun as the bmw 3 series but way more fun than th merc c class. incredibly roomy in front and back. so many standard amenities that cost extra in bmw or merc. interior styling excellent. acceleration in excellent although there is a little lag on take off. good in hot and cold climate and the front wheel drive is good in snow and rain. only problem is that this cars has oversteer and can eat up some tires really fast. and the gas mileage can suck if you are not careful."

"I have owned an Audi a6 prior to the TL I always liked the design of TL but once i owned one the quality of assembly just is not there.. RATTLES, SQUEAKS, Uneven gaps in interior plastic paneling.. The car feels very flimsy going over bumpy city roads.. The power & technology are awesome.. but both get eclipsed by sub-standard fit & finish on the interior.. Anyways maybe they have improved the fit & finish on the newer models but the gen-3 of TL was a miss IMO. So at least with an Accord you don't pay the premium..."
