Overview & Reviews

After big changes last year, including the return of the Type-S model, the 2008 Acura TL receives no significant changes.

• Roomy and well-crafted interior, impressive handling for a relatively large front-drive sedan, sweet V6 engines matched to excellent transmissions, fantastic surround-sound system, lots of standard high-tech features, top crash test scores.

• Not as traditionally luxurious as other models in its class, front-wheel-drive handling limitations are apparent when driven hard, lack of low-end torque in some situations.

  Great and underrated - 2008 Acura TL
  By Chris - January 24 - 5:22 pm

  I purchased my TL after owning a Saab 9-3. The car is exactly what you expect from this type of Acura. This is my third Acura and plan on a new MDX this summer. The one thing that bothers me is that the TL is constantly compared to the Lexus IS, BMW 3-series, Infiniti G35, etc. However the TL is bigger than all of these cars and actually the size of the Lexus GS & M45.

  Great Car So Far! - 2008 Acura TL
  By Eric - July 14 - 8:33 pm

  So far this car is great. I got the Carbon Bronze Pearl, and it is a real looker. Im a little disappointed with the gas mileage so far, as Im coming from a 4 cylinder Honda Accord. Ive put about 100 miles on it and it seems Ive gone through about 1/3 of a tank of gas already. Although the "full" tank came from the dealership, so who knows how full it really was?

  Best Looking Sedan with the price - 2008 Acura TL
  By TL Fan - March 13 - 7:33 pm

  I only have less than 600 miles on my 2008 TL and I hate to leave the car alone. It is so much fun to drive this car. Like its name TL (Touring Luxury), you would love to drive the sporty sedan with its build in luxury experience that put you right in the driving mode (not commute mode). Unlike Lexus, Acura TL and BMW series give you the communication with the dirt on the road. If you like to drive on the air (like Toyota with small wheels and big rubber tire), TL is not for you. It is always a hardship to blend luxury with sporty features. Acura TL seamlessly combined them.

  Cant believe what I drive everyday - 2008 Acura TL
  By amazed - October 3 - 6:23 am

  I got more than 2000 miles on my new TL and I cannot believe that I actually drive this car to work everyday. Take it from a dealership parking lot to downtown and watch reflections of yourself. When you open the door, it whispers (not screams) luxury! I love all the features: seat memory settings, hands-free link, navigation, dual climate, sound system. Driving is very smooth and comfortable and, if you want, very sporty as well. Perfect balance. You can drive your mother in law in a limo and your friends in a sports car all in the same vehicle. Driving in the heavy rain, passing 18-wheelers, up the hill in curvy road, all of it is pure driving passion. MPG is OK, 28/23 so far.

  Its perfect so far! - 2008 Acura TL
  By William Carter - March 9 - 2:40 am

  I love this car. I was driving a 2000 BMW 328 (my third one) and the second I test drove this car, I put my BMW up for sale. My 328 sold and I picked up my new Acura on Sat, Aug 11th. First the car handles amazingly well for a car that is quite a bit larger than the BMW. The TL S type has an amazing engine with more than enough power. The interior is beautiful to look at with the two tone leather seats and sharp accents. My cool younger friends and my 18 year old nephew raved about this car and both the exterior and interior. Everybody seems to like it. I got the bronze color which looks amazing with the rims. I love everything about this car!

  Not 100% Pleased - 2008 Acura TL
  By Alex Lee - February 25 - 2:46 am

  Low end torque is not as good as i had hoped. above 2500 rpm the car moves well. The manual side on the 5A is sluggish, upshifts are not crisp. The engine has some noticeable vibrations at 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm and 4000 rpm. The 2000 rpm point is most noticeable at takeoff, it is felt in the steering wheel and foot pedals.

  Wow! - 2008 Acura TL
  By RoswellDad - January 16 - 8:20 am

  Where to begin? I cant believe that a $34K car can have so many features and such performance. Driving is fun again (and thats a challenge in Metro Atlanta traffic). The TL is a good-looking sports sedan that wants to go fast. The only drawbacks are that its rather sluggish at low speeds and the cost of premium fuel (but thats the price you pay to get a decent engine). Incredibly, Im 54, and this is my first Japanese car, but I dont think itll be my last.
