  Dream Car - 2009 Acura TL
  By Chasboy - March 23 - 5:56 pm

  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 thomas1127 - March 13 - 9:00 pm

  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 Mike NYC - March 11 - 5:23 pm

  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
  By SB - March 9 - 1:35 am

  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 Justin - March 4 - 4:56 pm

  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.

  Absolutely Amazing Bang For The Buck - 2009 Acura TL
  By LordOfTheBored - March 2 - 5:55 am

  The car is built like a tank. Totally solid. Every detail seems to have been thought thru thoroughly. Suspension on the FWD car is just perfect. Not too firm, almost no body lean in turns (the SH-AWD car was too firm for me). The technology in this car is amazing and it all works so seamlessly. Ive never seen a better nav system and I come from owning a Lexus ES350. The screen is gorgeous. Power is incredible for a car that gets this kind of mpg. Everything about this car suggests that it should cost $10-15k more. At around $36k its undoubtedly the best bargain in the automotive world. I like this car better than my friends E-Class.

  Best Car for the Money! - 2009 Acura TL
  By Del - March 1 - 1:03 pm

  This is our 3rd TL after owning the 02 & 06. Ride and comfort are excellent. After looking at Cadillac, Lexus, Infinity & BMW this is the best quality for the $$. The Tech package is outstanding, we love it. The ride improvement is excellent. Drove the 4-wheel version, yes it has more HP and is faster but you give up the smooth ride for the firmer sport ride. The 06 TL was the best road car we have ever had, cant wait to get the 09 on the road. The seats are better than Lexus. The rear leg room is much better than the 06. I do miss the blue dash lights that was in the 06 TL. Its a buyers market, got a great deal. Like the new lines, but the front end needs to grow on you.

  Unquestionably The Best Bang For Buck - 2009 Acura TL
  By RazorsEdge - February 26 - 8:17 am

  This car is nothing short of awesome. I love the Acura pricing policy. Just two choices: AWD/FWD and tech/non-tech. Unbelievable how much quality and technology you get for ~$35k. In size, features, comfort and appointments, the car is competitive with mid sized sports sedans costing $17-20k more (think: 5 series, E-class, A6). It drives like a dream. Steering is razor sharp, suspension is just the perfect combination of compliant and firm (the SH-AWD package was too firm for my taste). Real time traffic, weather, Zagat restaurant ratings/descriptions, nav system and screen that is truly state of the art (MUCH better than any of the Germans or the G35/37), audio system that has no peer, etc.
