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

    My boyfriend tried getting me into the Cadillac CTS like his. I was not having it. After looking at Audi which I have wanted forever. I happened to pass by the Acura dealer. I wasnt crazy about the service we received at the dealership initially, but had to go back to see if the 2nd time would be a charm and it was - the car sold itself. I have a little boy in a booster seat, there is plenty of room and we all fit comfortably. I love my TL. BIGGER BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

    I am very satisfied with my purchase... with a few exceptions. The gas mileage is not very good. I did my research and expected this. However, in city driving, I am only averaging 14.3 mpg (according to the computer). Hopefully, the mpg will get better as more miles are racked up. I have had nothing but raves from friends and co-workers about the exterior and interior of the car. I chose Palladium Metallic with the taupe interior. I think this combination looks very good on the car. Not one person has mentioned the "beak". I am not someone who likes to spend money so I did a lot of research before purchasing this Acura. I believe my decision was correct.

  • Great Exterior Design - 2009 Acura TL

    I traded my 97 Acura CL. The new 09 TL has the wow factor. So many cars on the road today all look the same. Once again Acura has brought a bold new look on the road. I didnt want to pay for a Big L on the back of my trunk. Blending with the rest of the crowd does not work for me. I am an Acura fan all the way.

  • 09 Acura TL-SHAWD Best Bang for the Buck - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    The 2009 Acura TL-SHAWD w/Technology Package is very fun to drive while offering interior amenities and technology that are second to none. The 09 335x is more fun to drive and faster but lacks the interior space and modern amenities. The 09 Infiniti G37 is faster but lacks the driving refinement and interior space and amenities. The 09 TL offers it all at a very competitive price. Very happy with my purchase.

  • The 2009 Acura TL is world-class - 2009 Acura TL

    I love the Acura TL. The first thing everyone notices is the distinctive styling. Trust me, when you see this car in person, it looks great. Its very bold, distinctive and really stands out. Beautiful lines everywhere. The interior is also beautifully designed. You can see the beautiful lines and really see and feel the high level of craftsmanship. As well done and even more so compared to Audi interiors. Everything feels great. It has a powerful and smooth engine that can satisfy all but the most discriminating owners. The ride and handling is a perfect balance between sport and comfort. Drive the TL and youll see how special this is. Its style, technology and luxury at its best.

  • Best Vehicle Buy EVER ! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    We just bought our new TL and absolutely LOVE IT!!! We traded in a Cadillac STS and would never ever go back to a Cadillac. Everything about this car is great including the salesperson that sold it to us. It is just as roomy as the STS but way more roomy. The great thing about these cars are they are quiet. We love both the interior and exterior look of the car !! If you are thinking about buying this car... DO IT !!

  • A Dream Car - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my third Acura. First one was 03, then 05 and now 09. The changes from the previous models are drastic. Every detail was thought of, even windshield wipers that no longer leave a streak of water on the windshield in front of drivers eyes. The interior is very high tech, functional and not boring. The suspension is now softer and the bumps are forgiving. Its wider and longer, so it gives you a lot more space. The tech package makes this car even better. For $35K, youll never find a better car with features such as color backup camera, Ipod integrations, Navi w/weather/traffic updates, push button, etc.

  • 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"!

  • 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
    By -

    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.
