    Im a first time Acura owner, sold my 2002 Volvo S60 before purchasing my TL. This car is amazing, comfortable power and fun to drive. The SH-AWD is great, the car is glued to the road at all speeds in turns. I looked at the Lexus RX350 and was sure I was going to buy that but Lexus will not discount the price, so I test drove the TL and bought it the same day.

  • Loving my new TL!!! - 2009 Acura TL

    Okay...At first I didnt like the styling of the new TL. But I have to admit it has grown on me. I love the sexy shape, the way it handles, and the well designed interior. Before purchasing the TL, I test drove the Lexus IS 250 and the BMW 325I. The IS was too slow (4cyl engine in a 35K dollar vehicle??) and the BMW didnt offer much in terms of standard equipment. I basically chose the TL as I felt I got more bang for my buck. And we all know Acura makes quality vehicles.

  • The Best Choice - TL Tech - 2009 Acura TL

    My TL handles so well and is one of the most comfortable rides Ive had, especially upgrading from a Honda Prelude. The voice recognition for the Navi, Climate Control, and radio is awesome. Its still a bit of a learning curve though, but one of the best features. The TL has provided me with the best driving experience thus far.

    This is my first new car and what a car it is. Fun to drive and the technology can be overwhelming sometimes but still great. I already put 500 miles on my car after just 1 week because I want to drive it everyday. The SH-AWD is great, the car is glued to the road during all types of conditions. Im averaging 28MPG on the highway and Ive seen has high as 40mpg.

    I cant say enough about my 09 TL (basic model). It comes equipped with features youd expect to find in a much more expensive car. Best deal on the market.

    Just bought my new 09 TL base love the car already. I traded in my 02 because the transmission went out right in front of the dealership it must have been a sign. Everything in this car is 100% improved from the 02 model. I looked at ES350 nice car but once you add all the options just too much and the G37 it was too small. Best car you can get out there for the money hands down

  • Acura TLTech with SH-AWD Rocks! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is one fun vehicle. Great technology, great handling, fast (well fast enough for me) and fun to drive. This is high praise coming from a BMW owner for the past 20 years. I test drove a new and a used BMW 535i back to back with the Acura, and the Acura won my heart, mind and pocket book.

  • Best Car For The Money - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Just leased a TL w/Tech about 4 days ago and all I can say is WOW! I love this car so much, it is powerful, roomy, and has very nice styling. I get head turns everywhere I go. I got the WDP/Taupe and I just love it. The NAV and Bluetooth are so easy to use and the NAV screen is really clear. This is definitely the best car for the money. I have owned Acuras before and they did a really good job on this new TL. I love every minute Im driving in it.

  • Perfect out of the box!! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Awesome style, fun to drive - especially the AWD. Ride is firm but not rough at all. Interior is super quiet while on freeway etc. Awesome build quality, drives perfect...and may be the first vehicle I have purchased which will not require a re-visit to the dealer for any mechanical, balancing, alignment, etc. Every other car I have purchased in the last 20 years had to be taken back...Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, GM. Love it, love it, love it. Awesome in black!!

  • Not sorry I made the choice - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Upgraded from a Volvo S80 that was 8 years old. The car is a great ride, very responsive. Glued to the road on turns. Love all the technology. And while I know that previous TL owners by and large hate the styling...Im good with it. From the side I think its awesome. Ive waited 5 months to put this review up...I have no real complaints except the ride is a bit firm for my tastes after the Volvo and Id expect better than 22mpg these days...
