"I just purchased a 2012 Acura TL Technology AWD. Excellent price compared to other comparable models. Much better back seat legroom than Infiniti. Too early to know about reliability, but I like it every bit as much as my old Lexus ES350. More features for less money and All Wheel Drive"

"I decided to go with a base 2012 TL after doing quite a bit of research. Having it for a little over a month - all I can say is wow. What a vehicle for the money. The deal was fantastic and it has everything that I could possibly need and I paid under $30,000. I can't imagine another vehicle providing that kind of value."

"This car does evertyhing we need it to do and I bought it mainly for reliability reasons as I had a former 99 TL which actually had better get up and go IMO than this new one, but this 2012 is still good. The cooled seats are the best, don't even think about not getting them. They really improve the overall comfort level. The new technology in the Advance is a dream and it will change the way you drive by reducing stress. Dealers are 'dealing' on this car as I picked up the Advance (not SHAWD) package for $35.5. Yes - that's the truth so go and 'deal'."

"I love this car. I got great fourth of July deal on it. I love how it drives and all the techs that come with it. Simply loving it. The only downside is the insurance rate on this car. Compared to similar vehicles, its insurance is quite high. My wife has ES350 and its insurance rate is much cheaper. Overall, great car. Drives like a rocket."

"I traded up from a 2010 to a 2012 TL and am so glad I did. I loved the 2010 but decided to go all the way with the 2012 Advanced package. Great MPG average at 26, quick acceleration and handling, extremely comfortable interior, and the new sleek look, makes this my best car ever. I commute about 12 hours a week and this car makes my long drives a pleasure. My favorite option? The ventilated seats."

"I have had a 2012 TL for about three months. Overall an outstanding vehicle. The power is way more than is needed. The interior quality is exceptional. Overall quite and comfortable ride. The sound system simply rocks, the best I have ever had. A real selling point is Acura dealers will deal and great deals can be found. For the money, I don't see how anything can beat a TL overall."
