Not the best; Not the worst.

The TL has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, Acura/Honda was penny penching in the 2000s when this car was designed/built and the car does not hold up like the older Acuras. Otherwise a good car.

ACURA TL '05 - no reason to change it

Since 2005, the car has given joyful, comfortable, exciting, reliable service. Fast, excellent sound system, trouble-free (except for the battery just dying without warning a couple of times). I like cars, have been tempted to replace it several times and yet... no sedan has been better enough to justify the change. Keeping it mechanically sound is still quite reasonable, and the quality of the driving experience remains superb. I own a BMW X5 50ixdrive (F15, 2016) for travel and fun. Chances are I will replace the bimmer before I replace this car.

Great Car!

Bought my 05 TL with 100k miles on it hoping to just get 40k before anything major had to be done to it. Drove it 6 years and put 82k more miles on it and the only repair other than normal maintenance was an accelerator sensor and a CV joint. (All under $500 total) I LOVED this car and would still have it but my needs shifted to where I needed a 4x4. No doubt it would've went another 100k with very minimal repairs.

Reliable, Exhilarating, Fairly Priced

Most reliable car I've driven and good to go well over 200,000 miles. Cost to own is great for this class of car. Good style and great performance.
