2012 Acura TL consumer reviews

SHO model well worth it. Still adding music too hard drive. TLX did not match quality,size off style. Paint excellent. Wheel package paid for itself.

I have the advanced package and this car is a great intro to the Acura brand, even being a used car. The seats are comfortable, so no matter how bipolar Texas weather can be, I can heat or cool my seats. Great leg room in the front and back, and the backseat is great for passengers. I actually really enjoy the back when someone else is driving. ALSO, the Dolby Pro-Logic sound system is AMAZING! Great mileage, even though you need to buy supreme gas, but I only fill up about once a week/week and a half. It?s a huge upgrade from my last car, and I?m definirely considering an Acura for my next car. I plan to keep this as long as possible.

The most comfortable and reliable car I?ve ever owned. It has great pick up and drives really smooth. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a safe sedan.

Generally solid running car but problems began to occur after ~40k up through 90k miles when sold so hope this review helps potential buyers or current owners. This is not why you buy a Honda! The repair issues were main reason for the sale. Torque converter failed (thankfully under warranty), alternator failed, lower AC hose developed leak @ 70k miles and had to be replaced (when it did, the hose on national back order so seems common), hand free module constantly drained battery resulting in numerous jumps and lots of charging system warnings (common issue, must replace module to cure or disconnect), front strut(s) failed and replaced at 85k, look up propeller shaft bearing issue on the AWD models ($1500 replacement)...oh and car began to burn oil at about 70k miles (threads say this isn't too abnormal or concerning but 1.5-2 quarts b/w oil changes seems like a lot to me). Other gripes - front seats support starting to get a little mushy and could feel some springs in seat. Also, the transmission always had a really slow start/hesitation in 1st (dealer acknowledges, said normal)... just made the car seem slower than similar cars and made it harder to justify the premium fuel (which this engine needs or it will knock). This engine/transmission set up with HP/Torque really only seemed to be in sync above 3500 rpm. At 3500+ rpm this car screams for more and can be really fun. Radio / tunes probably the thing I'll miss the most. Happy motoring. hope this helps.

I absolutely love driving this vehicle! It?s acceleration is strong, the exhaust is tuned to a perfect sound, the interior styling is beautiful AND comfortable, the cabin is quiet and road noise is almost non existent, the sound system is powerful, and overall reliable.

I've owned this car for many years.. awd system is great, interior has held up nicely and still looks new, great handling on the mountain roads.

This car was fun to drive. The handling on the road is awesome it grips the road. The car is very stylish and the technology is well ahead of other luxury brand cars.
