Great Car - Great Value - 2009 Acura TL
By Jim Matheson - November 12 - 9:25 pmThis segment is filled with excellent vehicles, but the TL stands out based on its long list of standard features and reasonable price. Mine is the base model, which is just as quick as the AWD due to its lighter weight and gets better mileage to boot. I agree the front grille is not Acuras best work, but I found a replacement in the aftermarket which is a huge improvement. While not a true sports sedan, the car handles well for its size and intended use and the motor is a jewel - smooth and powerful. Acura builds a quality automobile and I have found the resale values to be excellent. Guess thats why I have owned 22 of them so far...

SH-AWD is a blast! - 2009 Acura TL
By michael - October 14 - 1:06 amI had a 2008 Type S and loved it. My only complaint about this car was the FWD, always spinning when I needed grip. Most of this problem was made moot when I drove home my SH-AWD two days before the big snowfall in Seattle. I now have 500 miles on my SH-AWD, I can tell you that unless youve taken the SH-AWD in 10 degrees with a foot of compact snow & ice on mountain roads, gliding around corners above freeway speed limits when others could just as well be peddling their cars, you really dont have the data needed to write a review. Ill give you that look of the nose and rear of the body as it comes from Acura arent as cool looking as the 08 Type S, but those two panels could be painted.

Amazing automobile - 2009 Acura TL
By ryan&diana - October 5 - 9:18 pmPerfection describes the new tl sh-awd! My wife recently traded in her fully loaded Acadia for a loaded tl. I also owned a Lexus is in the past. We test drove everything out- Lexus, audis, BMWs, infinitis, then we drove this gem. The tl has an amazing technology package -ipod connection, cd, hdd hard drive, and XM. It even holds pictures uploaded via the usb port. The navi is crystal clear and gigantic -I love to see the live weather. This car is comfortable and a blast to drive. I drove it across the country and enjoyed every minute. The leather is so soft! The 300+ horses blows m3s out of the water and I can still get 25 plus mpgs. Test drive one and you will see.

Awesome Car - 2009 Acura TL
By ericcc - October 5 - 10:42 amI drove a G37x, A4, and 3 series. This car was by far the most technologically advanced car and had the best price. We are thrilled with it. Drives like a dream and the tech package makes the car extremely entertaining. The sound system is incredible. I dont think I have ever heard music sound as good. Very smooth ride, yet feels sporty when you want to push it hard.

American Made Road Rocket - 2009 Acura TL
By RI Car Guy - October 3 - 9:33 pmHaving had great experience with our two other Hondas, we chose the TL over the Accord EXL-V6 for a nicer interior and quieter ride. So far this car has not disappointed, providing a proven drive-train in an upscale fun to drive car. Power and handling are great but the ride is a little stiff. It does absorb potholes better the the Accord and is much quieter. Tech Package is easy to learn (without reading the 2" thick manual) and the sound system is excellent. This car is currently a bargain, costing thousands less than foreign assembled competitors.

Best Vehicle Ever! - 2009 Acura TL
By Joey - September 27 - 3:19 pmI might be writing this prematurely as I have only had my new Acura for a week. But wow, this car in unbelievable. I test drove Infiniti G37 and Lexus GS. I cant imagine a vehicle with more bang for the buck. I love the styling, performance, handling and navigation system.

Great car for the real world - 2009 Acura TL
By ah7771 - September 26 - 11:00 pmHands down the best interior in its class. I love the exterior too. This is one car that wont get lost in the parking lot. I have the pearl white and get compliments all the time. This car handles beautifully, especially around corners. When it comes to how people drive 99.9% of the time, this car wins hands down. If you are instead intent on taking your car through a slalom course, maybe pay the extra $10k for similarly equipped BMW or sacrifice interior luxury and resale value and go for a g37. My 2nd TL and Ive been very impressed with how solid these cars are. Never had problems with either.

An Exhilarating Luxury Sedan - 2009 Acura TL
By JP2000 - September 20 - 11:34 pmI have had this car for three months now. I applaud Acura for finally taking the lead with a fresh bold design for the TL. The cars styling is simply brilliant--- inside and out. The superbly integrated Tech. package brings the cars substance on par with its stunning looks. For the last 15 years, Ive only driven German cars. Before buying the TL, I also considered Audi A4, BMW 535x, VW CC VR6, Infiniti G37x, and the Lexus ES350. All things considered, my final analysis led me straight to the TL.

A lot of car for the money - 2009 Acura TL
By omnimax - September 17 - 9:59 pmThe TL packs a lot of car for the price. You can easily pay 1000s more for a comparably equipped German car. Enjoy all the tech features they packed. For a 1st year car, it feels pretty darn solid with no rattles so far. The ride is sporty but yet still maintains a luxury feel as well. The interior space is more than adequate to seat 5 in comfort. I like the high-tech look of the dash. The exterior style had me at first glance so it just works for me. I could think of improvements but I think Im being picky at that point. The TL presents a value proposition that cant be beat.
