This car is very reliable. I had no problems.

Can't beat this car: I got my 2008 TL-S car new 10 years ago this fall. It is a great car. It's dependable, good on gas--I use regular. It is 6-cylinders and fast. I can't say enough good things about this car. I can't believe they have stopped producing this vehicle.

Most reliable car I've owned

This car is great on gas. It has plenty of leg room in frond and back. And it also has a great gps system with a 6 disc changer radio plus aux outlet

All the goodies: 6spd type-S

Great example of what a modern sports sedan can be. Tight handling and responsive throttle, use as a daily driver on highways is the most bang for you buck. I recommend a Manuel transmission type-s. Stupid things in this car go bad, like side mirrors not remembering set position after going into reverse; or LED indicator for heated seats on.

I got a great deal from the dealehship

It was a great car for the money, I paid less than $10,00 for my car and loved it. It was very comfortable, fully loaded. I am currently using the same website and dealership to purchase my new car....

Once you own one nothing else compares!!

I have owned 2, an '06 and an '08, and by far still my favorite car hands down. They changed the bodystyle in '09 which I dont care for, but the '08 model will hands down surpass all your expectations. The comfort, style, and dependability cant be beat. It holds its value and is exceptionally priced for such a great car. Buy best of all is the drive.... Fast, responsive, smooth, comfortable, great sound system, and very safe! Nothing will ever compare I promise.

Awesome. Sad but true. Needed a pick up.

The 2008 Acura TL continues to impress me everytime I get in it. A minor issue with the bluetooth draining the battery after the car was shut off, which should have been a recall but Acura refused to address it. That's about the only problem I can recall and an easy fix. Smooth, fast, great handling, comfortable ride. At 170K this car is just getting warmed up!
