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!

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.

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.

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 Buy

To me, this is not near-luxury. It is luxury. The car, itself, seems to be in a funny triangular-rectangle shape. but that kind of makes it look more sportyish. another great thing is that mine has navigation inside it. along with black leather seats and trim, the interior is ok. it is not that comfortable, and could use a little bit of finishing touches. overall, i would prefer this car.

Very fun, high quality, too many gadgets
by gary

I spent months researching and driving the competition. Have owned 2 other Acuras of old vintage and am sold on their durability. This car is so fun to drive and extremely comfortable. The power and speed is quite deceptive as the car is so quiet. The gadgetry is too high tech and offers too much that it's operation may be too complicated. Exterior styling is modest(to my liking). I hope the reliability is up to expectations!

BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED!

ACURA RULES! THIS CAR IS AWESOME. I BOUGHT IT AS MY 3RD CAR AND IT IS SO SMART. THE VOICE-RECOGNITION IS GREAT! IT IS A VERY SMART, GREAT-LOOKING VEHICLE. I COMPARED IT TO THE BMW 3-SERIES, LEXUS ES, AND INFINITY G37 AND THE ACURA TL/TL-S IS MUCH BETTER WITH FRONT/REAR ROOM, PERFORMANE, PRICE AND STANDARD EQUIPMENT. THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE ACURA IS UNBELIEVABLE. YOU GET SO MUCH THAT THESE OTHER MODELS LIST AS OPTIONAL. GREAT CAR!
