  • Very Happy - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Im a tall driver (66") and finally found a "fit" in the new TL. What an upgrade from my 99 Chevy Malibu! Averaging about 24 MPG and love the performance. Beautiful interior with great features - Voice-activated blue tooth, XM, Universal link garage opener, and this is all in the base model. Exterior is beautiful, even getting used to the Bucky beaver front-end. Overall, design is great.

  • This Is An Absolute Steal - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    In a world of $55k+ 5 Series, A6s and E-Classes, this thing is an absolute steal. SOTA nav system and screen, real time weather/traffic, keyless entry/start, real leather, full ipod integration, hard disc drive to store CDs, moonroof, xenon headlights, tilt/telescope steering wheel, seat memories, power driver/passenger seats, tremendous interior room, amazingly sized back seat all for $36k. I felt like I was stealing it. Great ride and handling on the FWD model. Drove the SH- AWD and gotta tell you its a hard ride. Im in NYC so no way was I getting that. If you live where the roads are like glass, that may be your car, but with potholes, watch out! The FWD car handles potholes perfectly!

  • Quality at a Reasonable Price - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Between my wife & me we have owned 4 Acura cars (starting with a 1992 Legend) over the past 17 years. We traded a 1999 TL for the 2009 TL. What really sets off the new TL is its sculpted looks and flowing lines however, I must admit that the front grille is a bit overdone. Although the dash controls look complicated, they are well marked and do not take long to figure out. Seats are comfortable (but not pillow like), with great support for the back. The brakes on this TL are much better than any Acura I have ever owned and the drive is smooth and quite with very precise steering.

  • So far - loving it! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive only had this car for a few days but I absolutely love it so far. The looks were iffy at first but have really grown on me for the models with black exterior/black interior. The handling is superb - it doesnt roll much but has a soft highway ride at the same time. The brakes are awesome and I love the electric steering - absolutely no play = precision. So far there isnt anything I dont like about this. This is a great value for the money.

  • Excellent - 2009 Acura TL

    Best bang for the buck. Pleased with super duper performance.

  • Another great car - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    I traded a 2007 TL on this 2009, while it is slightly larger it still handles and is fun to drive. The tech package is a little overwhelming it has been fun to learn. It is smooth and handles very well. It is quieter than the 07

  • The Best TL Ever! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    After having the 2005 TL AND the 2007 TL both with the navigation system, I figured I would give this car a shot since I LOVED my previous TLs. Not to my surprise, this car was the best car that I have driven. Not only is the drive comfortable and quiet, but the technology n the car itself is phenomenal. You will not find these features in ANY other car in its class or price point and you will definitely get noticed on the road. Money well spent! You will NOT be disappointed! Nothing compares to this NEW TL!

  • Whats not to love? - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    I love this car. Its my 3rd Acura and my favorite by far. I wasnt sure about the rotating wheel on the navigation system at first but now that I have driven it for a few weeks, I have completely changed my mind. No more glare on the screen, it almost looks high def. I looked at other cars (infinity G35, Honda Accord and Nissan Maxima) just to see how it compared and I think I got the best car for my money. Its luxurious in the inside and and the tech package makes a tech freak like me very very happy.

  • Beyond expectations - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive waited for this car since first trying the 2005 RL, which I found to be too soft. This 2009 TL is really superior. Even in low speeds, on side streets, theres no feeling of nose-heavy understeer. On highway on/off ramps, in spite of having had snow, sleet and wet pavement, its been holding the road as if on rails. The brakes are superb - which is the first time in an Acura (Ive owned six before), that I do not feel that need to be upgraded. So as I stated, this car is, definitely, much better then all Acuras that I greatly enjoyed before, as well as much beyond my expectations of it.

  • Acura Got This One Right! - 2009 Acura TL
    By -

    I was in the market for a new sedan and shopped Infiniti G37 and Lexus ES. Stumbled onto the re-designed TL and...WOW!!! This car is a real eye-catcher. Bold new lines, aggressive styling, and it drives like it has more than 280HP. I decided to buy it after one test drive. Very fun to drive, and really decent mileage for a car with this much zip. I love this TL!
