Awesome Sport Car for the Money$

I thought the old TL was nice looking, but the 2012's new look, was the Deal Maker! I love the new front and back. Purchased one site unseen, did all my homework and comparisions and this car made the most sense for the money. Fun to drive, great performance, great interior, awesome stereo, all around a great car! I would recommend this car to anyone,

Superb Performance and Comfort

Acura thought of every amenity a driver needs and packaged them in one affordable price. The only additional options are the AWD and Tech Package. I skipped both and saved 5 grand at least. While American card dealers still offer confusing options and you really don't know what's included in a package and what's not. Having looked at Challenger (great car by the way), the Ford Taurus, the C-300, BMW 3 and 5 series, and Lexus, Acura beat all by far in MPG 20-29, horsepower (280), features such as bluetooth and connectivity standard, and obove all a standard high intensity Xenon headlight. For around $36.5K OTD, a much better value than any other luxury mid-size sedan.

Good bang for the buck

I purchased the AWD TL and have been very happy. The car has plenty of muscle under the hood, and handles like a charm. I personally had held back on purchasing a TL due to the redesign from a couple of years ago. I never liked the grill. The change in '12 made the difference for me. Plus, after looking at BMW, Audi, and others, it became very clear this car has plenty to offer without a huge sticker price.

Sleek Look

This car is reliable and most of all I love the look. I buy a new car every year and this really is fun to drive. Soft to the touch inside and beautiful shade of red outside. I just love the look and has all the features I need. Great get up and go.
