I LOVE THE 08 TL THAT I GOT. ITS HAS ALL THE FEATURES ON THE BASE MODEL THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR EXTRA ON BMW'S OR MERCEDES. IT CAN BE DRIVEN LIKE A LUXURY CAR OR LIKE A SPORTS CAR! THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT THE WAY IT DOWN SHIFTS GEARS IS WEIRD BUT IT DOWN SHIFTS HARD AS IF YOU WAS DRIVEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO.

Meets and exceeds expectations. Can't say enough about this car and the road trips and the way it handles in the snow. Great car, must have.

Second one better than the first!
by n/a from Louisville, ky on Tue Nov 22 2011
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......

The TL is one of the best cars around. It has a very comfortable cabin with a good exterior and interior. Have had some minor dents but it is a excellent car with my years with it.

I've only owned it a few days and you have to be careful with low entrances, but you are driving a sports car. Handling, performance, and options are all beyond expectations. I plan to own this car for a very long time!

I purchased my Used 2008 Certified Acura TL with only 28,000 miles on it from an authroized dealer in Alabama with extended warranty. The car just hit 44,000 and now its having electrical problems! Its currently on its second battery. This car was the "dream car" I wanted, after school this is all I wanted to buy but its been the biggest regret of my life. The car I previouslly owned a 2003 Honda Accord same thing, same dumb techs telling me they don't know whats wrong with it because sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. However this TL just want start at all once it has a new battery its drained a day or two later, the stupid techs tried to blame it on the navigation system.... that I don't have because they didn't even bother to look inside the car. I hate hate hate this car I need a car thats reliable something that starts when you get in it! I hope that someone reads this and finds this useful, its a problem that has been happening for awhile read the Acura forums that talk about the dead battery mystery. My first car was an Acura, I've only owned Acura and Honda but I will never ever pay money for one again!

Had my 2008 Acura TL for almost 5 years and enjoyed it considerably. Fun to drive with great pick-up on the turbo charged engine. Virtually, trouble free for 5 years.

stiff,not comfortable,wide turning circle
by Mike from chicago on Tue Aug 25 2009
I've had it,and sold it very soon. Reasons are: 1.Car is too stiff for sedan, 2. steering wheel kindda high,gets your shoulder painful on a highway ride, 3. smallish trunk,but no biggie,and the worst thing is 4. so,so,so wide turning circle. Got me so many times stuck,and people honking horns behind me,and that would be the main reason why i sold it. Other then that car is very reliable.

The 2008 Acura TL Type-S didn’t rock my world. I was really expecting sparks to fly, but I’m a few weeks away from giving birth and probably a bit crabby, which undoubtedly affects my worldview. While the car performed relatively well, there were too many things that disqualified it from being my perfect mommy-mobile. In short, the TL was fine, but not fabulous.
I drove the TL Type-S to Crested Butte, Colo., for the Fourth of July weekend, and my trip fell short in some respects, too. I know I sound implacable, so please don’t get me wrong – I’m not that hard to please. But I like things the way I like them, so when they’re not that way, I don’t like them... Read More
