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.

  Love this Car!! - 2008 Acura TL
  By ingsoc39 - February 19 - 4:42 pm

  My first Acura, researched this auto a good 7 months prior to purchasing, it performed well up to my expectations, and I am extremely pleased with it. You can configure the nav to male/female voice. It was everything and more than the comparable BMW and Lexus, at a much better value. Purchased Moroccan red with A spec special Acura wheels and tires, so splurged a bit, also purchased with ground effects package, its a blast to drive, solid, refined, and Im enjoying it!

  Better than most - 2008 Acura TL
  By Epacal - February 8 - 3:52 pm

  I bought the Type S for a daily driver and have not been disappointed. Nice features, good ride and great performance. I cant believe the difference between the standard 3.2 TL and the 3.5 TL S. It was worth the extra money.

  2nd TL - 2008 Acura TL
  By SeymourClearly - January 31 - 3:39 pm

  This is my 2nd TL. My previous TL was an 06, same base model. I grew up in an automotive family and have more automotive knowledge than most owners. My last couple of cars were a Porsche 944, an SHO, Maxima SE, a Lexis IS and a TSX. (Our other car is a Highlander AWD.) Simply the TL is the most satisfying car I have owned. The drive, the comfort, the reliability and relative economy of ownership are exceptional! The car does it all. Its a great highway cruiser - comfortable for four adults although a little tight in the back, responsive on a winding road and very quiet unless you jack up the fabulous audio system. Best bang for the buck!

  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.

  This Car is the best value on the road. From the reliability to the performance. Also, the interior finishes are top notch. Do yourself a favor and sit in this car if you are in the market for a four door sedan... you will by this car

  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.
