  Awesome Car - 2009 Acura TL
  By ericcc - October 5 - 10:42 am

  I 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.

  Best Vehicle Ever! - 2009 Acura TL
  By Joey - September 27 - 3:19 pm

  I 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 pm

  Hands 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 pm

  I 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 car’s styling is simply brilliant--- inside and out. The superbly integrated Tech. package brings the car’s substance on par with its stunning looks. For the last 15 years, I’ve 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 pm

  The 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.

  Nice Car - 2009 Acura TL
  By Adam B - September 14 - 11:26 am

  Although the exterior of this styling seems a bit awkward, the first time one of them drive past me on the freeway, I was hooked. Its angular styling is actually quite brilliant. I purchased one for my wife in the pearl white color and we get nothing but compliments. The ride is pleasant and the engine has plenty of power for entertaining launches onto freeways and long jaunts to LA. In fact, the day after I bought it, I put over 400 miles on it driving to southern California and it was excellent. I also have a loaded Honda Accord, and Ill admit that I used to think Acura TLs were just a dressed-up Accord. But I am a believer now that the Acura is a much nicer car, even in standard trim.

  TL=FUN - 2009 Acura TL
  By John - September 10 - 5:20 pm

  Just got the car. Tried to buy a Genesis first, but could not get right with the dealer. Glad he wouldnt bargain. TL is like a sports car, lots of fun to drive. Great handling and performance. Only drawback is interior space.

  Just an AWESOME vehicle - 2009 Acura TL
  By Tyger06 - September 7 - 11:28 pm

  We purchased our TL with Technology Package 1 week ago. We continue to be amazed at the performance and the amount of features per dollar. We have received many compliments on the vehicles looks both inside and out. It is roomy enough for the two of us and our 2yr old. She has more leg room in the back then she did in our old vehicle-a Saab 9-7x SUV.

  A Great Performance Sedan for the Money - 2009 Acura TL
  By New To Acura - September 4 - 2:27 pm

  Had a 2005 Mercedes E500 4Matic and was looking for a car that had the same size engine and same size interior. Have had the TL SH AWD HPT for over a month and this car does not disappoint. The handling is unbelievable and the power/acceleration is very good. Drove the G37x and the CTS 4 and the TL was just a better car for the money. The ride can be a little stiff and you can feel the bumps on a rough road which is why I gave a rating of 8 for comfort. Overall, though, the ride is good and the cabin is very quiet. Also, the tech package is a must. Easy to use and I use the real time weather a lot more than I thought I would. And I like the front/back design. It is edgy/different.

  This car turns heads!! (in a good way) - 2009 Acura TL
  By chuckz53 - September 1 - 3:59 pm

  I absolutely love the styling inside and out. There has been some criticism in the press about looks, but to me it looks strikingly different and fresh. Same with the inside. Theres a knock on the the multitude of buttons, bit I rarely go to the console because everything is voice activated, and besides, thats so much more fun. The novelty of saying "set driver temperature 70 degrees" still isnt wearing off. Being a Honda, Im sure reliability will be bullet proof. Acceleration is OK, but I do give it low scores for handling - my only disappointment. Once you set up for a turn its stable and secure, but transitions and aggressive moves are not this cars forte. Still, a great car.
