Finally, my best car ever

I traded up from a 2010 to a 2012 TL and am so glad I did. I loved the 2010 but decided to go all the way with the 2012 Advanced package. Great MPG average at 26, quick acceleration and handling, extremely comfortable interior, and the new sleek look, makes this my best car ever. I commute about 12 hours a week and this car makes my long drives a pleasure. My favorite option? The ventilated seats.

Best bang for your buck by far

Quality power and mpg. I am getting 24 miles in city and 32 on highway. Quiet ride. Great sound system and lane guidance nav. Cooled seats are fantastic.

Great Vehicle

I have had a 2012 TL for about three months. Overall an outstanding vehicle. The power is way more than is needed. The interior quality is exceptional. Overall quite and comfortable ride. The sound system simply rocks, the best I have ever had. A real selling point is Acura dealers will deal and great deals can be found. For the money, I don't see how anything can beat a TL overall.

No Regrets! Tossed my 09' RL for the 12' TL!!!

Although the RL had a much more plush and refined interior, regarding materials... the TL has much more for the $. I got over the molded plastic lower doors after a couple days. The TL's exterior looks incredible, the engine is responsive, the AWD is jaw-dropping going through the Smokies and the Tech package is better than the Bose (by far).

Middle aged crisis car

I researched a new vehicle for my 48 year here on earth and for the practical side of me decided on the new Acura TL. It provided me with the robust engine that one side of me wanted and the value for my money on the other side. I'm quite pleased with my decesion in choosing this car.

New 2012 TL

Had a 2001 Acura TL 3.2 and that's why I bought another. Great looking car, plenty of pep w/280 HP and new 6-speed trans gives you 29+ MPG if you baby it. Only had it 2 weeks as I write this, but can already tell w/625 miles that it's a gem of an automobile. All kinds of electronics, fine audio, glistening black exterior, audio & seat memory even with the "Driver 1" or "Driver 2" keys. I look forward to keeping this one 12 years or so ... reliability is part of the game, and the TL has it. Every bit of the car a Lexus 350 is with a better price. Don't even look at Mercedes ... sale price comparable, but watch out when you bring it to the shop.

Great car and safe

I have the 2009 TL for 3 years never had a problem. the quality and comfort can't be beat for the price. I'm one of those who like a solid heavy car but one thing I like was the safety features and they sure came in handy when I ggot into a major accident and i was able to walk away from in one piece. So with the car total, i will be looking for a new 2012

Best car value

I have driven Acura's for over 15yrs. The TL is by-far the best I could find for the price, performance, dependability and beauty.

Best in it's class

Great car. Comfortable and quick. Actually "quick" does not ACCURATELY describe it. This vehicle has no problem in accelerating to Interstate speeds in a blink of the eye. Very impressive all around luxury sedan with the best amenities and sound system available. Cannot say enough about the redesigned 2012 TL. Acura brought their "A" game to the drawing board...
