2009 Acura TL consumer reviews

I recently bought a 2009 Acura TL which was CPO from an Acura dealer. It had 35K miles but is in great shop. It replaced an Acura RL that I had for 5 years and that I put 150K miles on. I like the RL even better because it does have the AWD and Technology package I had with the RL, but is a little smaller and a bit better on gas mileage - not its best feature but I like their cars. Will keep buying Acuras.

Bought my TL in 2009 and have 41,000 miles on the car. I have had absolutely no problems at all. Have only had oil changed and tires. Every time I take it in for oil change I ask if my brakes are OK and they are. I can't believe it, most of the 41000 miles are city driving. I have never owned a car that I could go this long without something needing done, let alone brakes. By the way, I previously had 2 BMW's and a Lexus. I have always loved BMW's especially, but for what you get pricewise in the Acura it is a much better value. Anybody that ask's me, I tell them that it is the best car I have ever had.

this car isnt worth the price. The ride is rough where you can feel the road and hear the tire rolling on the road.

I recently bought this vehicle and I am blown away by its performance and precision. I couldn't have asked for a better vehicle at my level in the game. I would've have loved to purchase a MB S550 but that is a whole lot of vehicle. Where as this vehicle is right up my alley and I don't miss a beat. Very stylish and it's accustomed to the stylish risk taker. Those who don't like the styling of this vehicle probably have never stepped out their comfort zone in anything they do anyways. My 2009 TL Tech has plenty of power and is very quiet. You won't be disappointed owning this vehicle and neither will your family or date be disappointed.

I must say. I looked high and low for the car that could offer the whole package - performance, feel, handling, comfort and price. This car is it. I am really impressed so far. While the competition in this class is tough, especially the Infinity M37, this car is at the top. Nice work Acura. Remember to put the car in manual and use the padels to shift. You can really feel the horsepower.

I started my search with about 12 sedans in mind and quickly narrowed it down to about four. I was looking at the Cadillac CTS, Infinity G37, Lexus ES350 and the TL. I won't bore readers with my reasons for eliminating the other eight or so models. After looking very closely at my remaining options, and figuring I was really in a win-win situation, I decided on the TL, and it didn't disappoint. It has the perfect balance of luxury, performance, reliability, safety, resale value and interior and exterior styling. It's not as luxurious as the CTS but I had a hard time getting past Cadillac's relatively weak reliability rating. It's not as fast as the G37, but it's roomier in the backseat and the trunk (and I still have a 15 year old at home). The Lexus was well balanced too, but I found the exterior styling somewhat boring. Also, the CTS and the Lexus, comparably equipped, would have been thousands of dollars more expensive. As for the neverending "car review experts" that constantly call the TL's design "polarizing," I have one word, WRONG. I have had dozens (I'm not exaggerating here, like my wife says I do sometimes) of people tell me over and over what a beautiful car the TL is. The reaction of friends, co-workers and strangers has been amazing. This car turns heads, period! Hope this helps the folks out there, so long...

great styling excellent gas mileage best resale all i wish they would make the interior a little more up scale other then i'm very happy. yes i would recommend this car.

Great car...I love it! Been lusting over this car and finally got it. Not disappointed at all. Drive one and see for yourself.

I looked at Lexus BMW and for the money the Acura was the best! I would recomended to any one including family members.

We were 4 months from paying off my vehicle when a young man totaled it. We test drove this car and the first thing I told my wife was I wanted the drivers seat in the den. They are the most comfortable seats imaginable. The car looks amazing and sporty. Most vehicles I've driven, when you step on the gas, you can feel when the transmission shifts, and you get that little jerky thing. This car you can see the RPM's shifting, but can't feel it. The technology package is WELL worth the money. Awesome car and we would recommend it to anyone.
