Fun to drive

Car is a blast to drive but also very reliable. Used for everyday and was comfortable. Has a nice sized trunk that fits multiple totes. Goes fast for those that live the fast life.

Beautiful Blue TL Type S

All the bells and whistles when purchased new and still a great car. Fun to drive yet practical. Looks great. I'm the original owner and primarily used it to commute to a suburban train station lot (not a lot of NYC road use). Very well maintained. Front and side airbags, navigation, spoiler, alloy wheels, etc.. Feels larger on inside than many larger newer cars.

Stylish, powerful vehicle that died saving my life

Beautiful, grey exterior, black leather interior luxury sedan was powerful enough to keep my thrilled, yet could stop on a dime -- or when a bad driver T-boned me while I was going 55mph... My TL did not flip into a nearby ditch like a smaller vehicle would have. The impact left the sedan's right front end totaled, but it died saving my life so I purchased a 2004 model in grey/black.

Good size, great zip

I really loved this car, and took great car of it. It has plenty of room in the front and back, with a spacious trunk. It certainly has zip for a bigger car. Really recommend it.
