GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY

THIS IS MY 3RD ACURA, WENT FROM A 99' CL TO A 03' TL-S AND NOW A 08' TL-S. HANDS DOWN ACURA PUTS OUT A GREAT PRODUCT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. PURCHASED THE 08' TL-S WITH ONLY 29,000 MILES AS A CERTIFIED CAR. I DON'T THINK I'VE COULD OF MADE A BETTER PURCHASE FOR THE VALUE..IE. NAVIGATION, PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM. WILL BE AN ACURA OWNER TILL MY LAST BREATH.

Premium quality at an affordable price

I just purchased a 2008 Acura TL and am so happy with my purchase. I have driven a Honda Pilot for 11 years and with the kids growing up didn't need all that space any more. I planned on buying a Honda Accord but after test driving an Acura, there was no going back! It looks and drives so sporty for a sedan plus the basic package comes nicely equipped with leather interior, sun roof and a great sounding audio system. I look forward to driving it every day.

Great Car if you have to deal with weather

I'm a big RWD sports car guy, I bought the TL-Type S because I needed a car in Chicago that would be minimal effort in the snow without having to swap tires twice a year. So far so good. the car has decent power, has enough tech to feel like I'm driving a new car, and has a timeless design. The only downside is FWD...which definately shows up in acceleration...particularly around corners. A good set of sticky tires helps with that though.

couldn't afford new so bought used with a few miles... runs and handles like new. 30 mpg with plenty of horses. sweet styling, solid feel and its a Honda product... great combination.

One of the best car's I've ever owned

I bought this car about 2 years ago with 31k on it- and I love it! The problems with torque steer are with any front wheel drive, and not as bad as some people say- it's never happened to me! There are only 2 things I will say against the TL: the quality/ durability of the seat leather( mine doesn't look very good- was told by Acura- this is normal!), and the Michelin Pilot's that they put ont the car from the factory- they slip on anything wet!!! Other than that I reaaly Love this car, which is the second TL I have owned- had a 2000 TL until the Trans. gave out! Trans. seems very good in this one though, and not as many problems reported with this trans.! Gas mileage is awesome- I get 31 to 32 mpg on straight highway- Nice!!!

Best car on the road

All I have to say is the 08 Acura TL is the best car on the road. I mean everything about the car is top notch. Comfort, Quality, Peformance, and so forth. This car is the bomb. I happen to just get a TL-Type S, but whether you have just a regular TL, or a Sport version, you can't go wrong.

Second one better than the first!

Yet another great little unit; first one was an '04. The TL is a combination of luxury and practicality. Great gas mileage, yet engine spicier than most when called upon. A fun drive and with regular maintenance has the typical Honda reliability. Yes I will buy another when this one is done......

My first car

I have been seaching for a car that has great peformance and great handling with a luxurious feel. The exterior is very agressive looking but when your in the inside it feels entertaining. The center console navigation system has a 7.5" screen if im correct and has plenty of different features that it provides. The hand free link allows almost anything to be controlled by voice. A very comfortable car, the only down fall is that the car is front heavy so in the snow might be its match. Overall, I recommend anyone buy this car. Very reliable and powerful.
