  By Steve - April 13 - 3:57 pm

  Great performing car and amazing handling. It handles as well as or better than my Porsche C4S AWD on the corners and curves.

  Ive seen the future - 2009 Acura TL
  By compewterbleu - March 25 - 2:57 pm

  This car is one "Sexy Beast." Test drove both models several times. Previous 2001 CL owner and I have always loved Acuras (Hondas) approach, luxury from a different angle keeping performance, reliability, and quality in the mix. Performance is in the hand of the driver for the most part...I havent notice a lag in acceleration nor any weird steering problems. Solid. Paying more doesnt equate to better. BMWs and Audis and such still have folks fooled(along with media such as MT). I love the design for its daring non-cookie cutter non-euro ultra technical look. Im a design engineer so the art-functionality looks appeal to me and evidently to the ladies, they swoon over it daily.

  nice car - 2009 Acura TL
  By galil71 - February 26 - 12:08 am

  I love this car. For a FWD vehicle, wheels torque is minimal. One of the reason I choose this car is that most features are standard. The steering is not fast, but in normal driving I dont even realize it. The TL doesnt offer sport package, however standard tires give sporty feel and keep the car very stable.

  Surprised 3rd Acura TL owner - 2009 Acura TL
  By Lynn - January 14 - 1:05 pm

  It is difficult for me to write this review since I loved my last 2 TLs. I did not like the new body style at first but that did grow on me however some of the other changes I could not get use to and traded the car in after only 7 months. The Nav system is no longer touch, you have to use the dial which I found to be very cumbersome or voice which for some reason did not seem to understand me most of the time. The interior also kind of plain compared to previous years. I miss the blue lights. I also felt this new design did not seem to have the same quick pickup that I fell in love with in my 1st TL. Not sure if its the added weight that caused that or some other change.

  Sexy mom car - 2009 Acura TL
  By jppalooza - January 5 - 9:10 pm

  I am a 30 something mom who drives this car. I really do like it The pros about this car for me are: -very attractive outside styling -not having to use the key to unlock, start, or anything. LOVE IT! Especially when I am carrying a baby around -interior fit of the seat and space inside the car -the tech package with the hands free phone and how I can talk commands rather than finding the button Cons: -trunk size is small/oddly shaped -no rain sensing wipes -I dont think the sound system is excellent -no sun shade in the rear window -sat radio is only complimentary for 90 days -wish the radio would still play after I turn the car off for 5 minutes (my old Olds did...why cant this?)

  Keeps Getting Better - 2009 Acura TL
  By Chuck - January 3 - 8:47 am

  Took my Acura TL SH-AWD into its first snow & ice. Car handles well, low center of gravity, solid feel - AWD on demand function works great. A 4WD SUV next to me slid off the road into the guardrail but my TL did fine. Great car, nice quality, good dollar value. 5 Star safety rating doesnt hurt, either.

  Best Car Pick for Class - 2009 Acura TL
  By BillT - December 1 - 9:05 pm

  I purchased the 2009 AWD TL in White Diamond. It has been a very satisfactory purchase. The exterior design was difficult at first to accept, but it really grows on you. The interior is excellent. I love to drive the car, and after four months, the quality has been outstanding. Acura knows how to build a car well, and the service after the sale support has been superb. The technology is exceptional and especially good, since Acura doesnt nickle-and-dime you with add-ons. Im a committed Acura customer with this car and the last, and I cant wait to see what comes next.

  3rd Acura - 2009 Acura TL
  By Ed - November 17 - 9:07 pm

  I previously drove a Nissan Maxima for 6 years, until I switched to Acura in 2003. Since then I have never looked back. The comfort and performance in the 2009 TL is incredible. I spend a lot of time in my car meeting with my customers so handling and comfort are very important. Having upgraded from the 2006 TL the difference is incredible. Acura has created the perfect balance between comfort and performance and thrown in all the bells and whistles.

  09 TL AWD - 2009 Acura TL
  By RonB - November 14 - 11:09 am

  I bought this car after a 3 year lease on a 2007 Accord V6. The Accord was flawless and sold me on Honda vehicles. The exterior styling of the car is just a little too gaudy for my taste and could be toned down some but it was not enough to prevent me from buying the car. I drove the car on a 500 mile business trip the first week I owned it and that convinced me that I made an excellent choice. The NAV Weather is a great plus, the sound system is excellent, the ride is quiet and comfortable and the mileage is more than acceptable for a car of this size.
