"Although the RL had a much more plush and refined interior, regarding materials... the TL has much more for the $. I got over the molded plastic lower doors after a couple days. The TL's exterior looks incredible, the engine is responsive, the AWD is jaw-dropping going through the Smokies and the Tech package is better than the Bose (by far)."

"I researched a new vehicle for my 48 year here on earth and for the practical side of me decided on the new Acura TL. It provided me with the robust engine that one side of me wanted and the value for my money on the other side. I'm quite pleased with my decesion in choosing this car."

"Had a 2001 Acura TL 3.2 and that's why I bought another. Great looking car, plenty of pep w/280 HP and new 6-speed trans gives you 29+ MPG if you baby it. Only had it 2 weeks as I write this, but can already tell w/625 miles that it's a gem of an automobile. All kinds of electronics, fine audio, glistening black exterior, audio & seat memory even with the "Driver 1" or "Driver 2" keys. I look forward to keeping this one 12 years or so ... reliability is part of the game, and the TL has it. Every bit of the car a Lexus 350 is with a better price. Don't even look at Mercedes ... sale price comparable, but watch out when you bring it to the shop."

"I have the 2009 TL for 3 years never had a problem. the quality and comfort can't be beat for the price. I'm one of those who like a solid heavy car but one thing I like was the safety features and they sure came in handy when I ggot into a major accident and i was able to walk away from in one piece. So with the car total, i will be looking for a new 2012"

"Great car. Comfortable and quick. Actually "quick" does not ACCURATELY describe it. This vehicle has no problem in accelerating to Interstate speeds in a blink of the eye. Very impressive all around luxury sedan with the best amenities and sound system available. Cannot say enough about the redesigned 2012 TL. Acura brought their "A" game to the drawing board..."

"I thought the old TL was nice looking, but the 2012's new look, was the Deal Maker! I love the new front and back. Purchased one site unseen, did all my homework and comparisions and this car made the most sense for the money. Fun to drive, great performance, great interior, awesome stereo, all around a great car! I would recommend this car to anyone,"

"Acura thought of every amenity a driver needs and packaged them in one affordable price. The only additional options are the AWD and Tech Package. I skipped both and saved 5 grand at least. While American card dealers still offer confusing options and you really don't know what's included in a package and what's not. Having looked at Challenger (great car by the way), the Ford Taurus, the C-300, BMW 3 and 5 series, and Lexus, Acura beat all by far in MPG 20-29, horsepower (280), features such as bluetooth and connectivity standard, and obove all a standard high intensity Xenon headlight. For around $36.5K OTD, a much better value than any other luxury mid-size sedan."

"I purchased the AWD TL and have been very happy. The car has plenty of muscle under the hood, and handles like a charm. I personally had held back on purchasing a TL due to the redesign from a couple of years ago. I never liked the grill. The change in '12 made the difference for me. Plus, after looking at BMW, Audi, and others, it became very clear this car has plenty to offer without a huge sticker price."
