This Year's Model Updates:

After a three-year absence, the performance-oriented "Type-S" trim level returns. It features a 286-horsepower, 3.5-liter version of Acura's SOHC 32-valve VTEC-equipped V6, a sport-tuned suspension and Brembo high-performance front and rear disc brakes. The Type-S also gets a unique front fascia, quad tailpipes, specific 17-inch wheels and paddle shifters for the five-speed automatic transmission when that option is ordered. The regular TL continues forward with freshened exterior styling and a revised center stack and instrument panel. However the six-speed manual transmission and Brembo brakes are now restricted solely to the Type-S model.

Pros:
  • Roomy and well-appointed interior, excellent handling for a relatively large front-drive sedan, sweet-natured V6 engines matched to outstanding transmissions, fantastic sound system, top crash-test scores.
Cons:
  • Front-drive handling limitations are apparent when the car is driven aggressively, lack of low-end torque in some situations.

  • High Marks And FUN To Drive! - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    Best car Ive had. Makes you wanna drive for the sake of doing it. Good acceleration, can throw you back in the seat. Comfy front seats, rear is a little bit tight. Looks AMAZING clean. Speaker cover in the dash rattles a tiny bit after a year. Had to get the door latch fixed but thats it so far.

    This is my first TL and unfortunately will be my last. The engine pings and Ive used nothing but 93 octane fuel.

    On a return trip to Dallas, TX from Austin our average mph was 73 & gas consumption was 32 mpg (did hit 33 for a short time). Cant beat that with a stick!!

  • Beauty Thats Only Skin Deep - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    Aside from the nice appearance, this car has been a grave disappointment. I test drove the TL on a nice flat road. But in the real world, when I am accelerating over an uneven surface, the wobbliness of front wheel drive become painfully apparent, especially with 286HP. I have had persistent issues with cabin noise - there are constant creaks when going over bumpy roads - it makes the car sound cheap. I had a defective starter which needed replacement. The nav system is not very smart. The tranny had issues with the 3rd gear that needed fixing. Most importantly, the 3.5L engine is prone to pinging.

  • Got A Lemon - 2007 Acura TL

    In first 11 months car was back to the dealer for 34 business days for repairs. While the car has some zip, many problems have plagued this car. Engine would not turn over 3x and have replaced 3 batteries due to short in Hands Free Link and took dealer 2 times to correct the problem. Car alarm chip has been replaced 2x as alarm goes off randomly. Trunk latch has broken 2x and replaced by the dealer. Car handles well in warm weather but does not handle snow well at all. Expected a better experience for the price I paid for the vehicle.

  • Acura TL-S - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    Bought a 2007 Acura TL-S in late January and I love it. I was choosing between the TL-S and the Lexus IS 350. Went with the TL-S because it was bigger and more roomy than the IS 350. The car has quite a bit of "get up and go" and will do 0-60 in under 6 sec. Handles very well. Interior is very nicely done and the car looks great from the outside. It is really the ideal blend of sportiness and luxury and comes loaded. I love the NAV system and the bluetooth is great! I love the seats too - very comfortable. Tip for those who do not like the TL-S wheels: I asked the dealer if he could trade out the TL-S wheels for the regular TL wheels and they were happy to do it for no extra charge. Try it.

  • Best One Yet - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    My third Type S and the best one to date, as a matter of fact it is the best car i have ever owned.

  • Best value in luxury market - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    Had the car for a year now, its a huge step up from the Accord I was previously driving. Its a great deal, the competition costs thousands more for the same features. Gas mileage is great too, on a 500 mile road trip I averaged 34 MPG! This car isnt for everyone though. Those looking for the ultimate sports sedan (think BMW minded buyers) will say its FWD and not sporty enough. Those wanting a cushy serene ride (think Lexus ES) will say its too sporty and has too much road noise. You cant please everyone but for me this car is what I consider to be an ideal blend of everything. It doesnt excel at any one particular thing but does everything very well.

  • Love, love, love my Acura - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    Went from a 2001 Chrysler Concorde to this car--amazing difference. Wanted something sporty coming off of the big gas-guzzling luxury car with no power. Love merging onto a highway and blowing everyone away. Mechanic friend was very impressed by it. Dont think I could find another car this size I would love as much. I am fortunate to not be experiencing the rattling or problems others are having.

  • Best I have Ever Owned!!! - 2007 Acura TL
    By -

    I cant believe how much better the 07 Type S is over my old 06 TL. Handles like crazy. FAST! Everything is top notch. I bought the best!
