  • Holy Cow!!! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    This is the first car Ive ever driven that really handles like its on rails!! The SH-AWD system is amazing, and after driving it back to back against the 335i and G37, theres simply no comparison. While the other two might be a little quicker in a straight line, they cant match the handling of this car. Plus, their interiors looked really cheap compared to how luxurious the TL is, and both felt really cramped. Concerning all the comments about the exterior, I have to admit I wasnt sure about it at first. But the more I look at the car the more I love it. Ive never had a vehicle that turns so many heads. I had two guys in their 20s compliment the car saying it was "tight"!

  • Best Bang for your Buck! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had a 98/CL, 01/CL, 05, & 09TL By far, the latest edition is superior Loved my 05, but the technology, ride & handling, blow it away. Best stock audio system available plays DVD Audio, CDs, Ipod interface, HDD (copies all 2 channel CDs), XM radio, AM/FM, etc. 445 Watts of pure bliss Ive heard nuances, on my DVD Audios, that didnt exist before. Cant find a better value, ANYWHERE!

  • I love to drive my Acura - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Having always driven Lincolns, I wanted to look around when I was ready to trade. As soon as I drove the Acura TL, I knew this was the car I wanted. I cant say enough good about it. It beautiful to look at, rides like a dream and has everything I wanted on it without having to pay for the extras...moon roof, heated seats, premium sound system. Because Im hearing impaired, Ive never been able to enjoy a car sound system. Now, I open the roof, turn on the XM radio and hear clearly....wow! I drove several other brands and none compared with the Acura TL. Do yourself a favor...go get one...youll be glad you did.

  • 3rd TL & still pleased - 2009 Acura TL

    All I can say is, same old story in a good way. This TL is a great car at a good price. As with my other two TLs I could find no better bang for the buck in this class. I love the styling.

  • Great ride..Better than E 320 Merc - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my 2nd TL (after 2005). This is BY FAR the best car I have ever driven....

  • Dream Car - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Its way too early, but we love our new TL, and I dont expect that to change. The ride is firm, but I disagree with others that its too firm. We are coming from a 325, so maybe we are used to it. It corners/handles as well, rides better and quieter, and is so roomy. The seats are amazing.

  • Brand new - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Got my TL w/tech 3 days ago. A lot to learn but great fun. Never seen such a sophisticated system. Ride and drives great. Got a great deal - 12% off msrp plus full value on trade in. Acura is one of the top makers. If you buy one, get the tech package. Unbelieveable all of the features included.

  • Forgot my G35x - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had my new TL for 2 weeks and am in love with it. Traded in my 2007 G35x and do not miss it one bit. interior is large and fit and finish is top notch. reviews regarding steering are not accurate. Steering is spot-on and effort is just right. controls are intimidating at first but make perfect sense after a few days. gas mileage is great for this class, and as far as the styling goes, even stubborn anti-car girlfriend loves it.

  • 09 TL - 2009 Acura TL

    The car is very comfortable. Love the way it rides firm but smooth. It is also very quiet. I do mostly highway driving and according to the onboard computer I avg between 30-34 mpg going 65.

  • Really nice car - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    This is an engineering marvel. It is the most intuitive vehicle Ive ever driven. You think about going around a corner and youre there. The ride is a little stiff but thats the price one pays for the performance, at least until you get into cars costing three times as much. The gas mileage isnt great, but after all its not a hybrid. Still, if you go easy on it, its a lot better than youd expect. The interior controls are overwhelming at first, but once learned are easy to use. The exterior styling stands out and I predict will be a harbinger of things to come across all makes. The tech options are second to none. I assume it will be as reliable as my last TL, so well done Acura.
