  • Acura - Loaded with Features - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my second Acura - I previously drove a 2003 CL-Type S. The new 2010 TL SH-AWD is far superior in handling with the AWD and with the Tech package has the most technology of any car Ive driven. The ride and fuel economy suffer a bit with the AWD but this car really handles. This car has more entertainment choices than one can possibly use. The XM radio and the iPod connection are the ones I use most as my iPod allows me to take my entire music collection on the road with me and XM radio comes in handy when I want to listen to something that is not in my collection.

  • Acura TL SH-AWD Auto first take - 2010 Acura TL

    Debated between BMW, Lexus and Cadillac AWD. Bought the Acura for dealer support (the better of the three in this area IMO) and the reliability. Not a big fan of the appearance initially but are getting comfortable with it now. Wonderful handling during our initial 2500 mile drive to the Southwest and back. Excellent brakes and suspension feels very well planted. Runs strong especially when into the RPM range where the valve train can assert itself. Engine is smooth. The car is quiet on the road at speed and easily cruises at 80+ if youre not watching. Sound system is amazing. Tech stuff all well integrated. Its quick. Controls are very logical. Would buy it again, no misgiving.

  • Great Car Just Like I Thought - 2010 Acura TL

    This is my fourth Acura, the first being in 1988. A lot has changed. This is a fantastic vehicle. The nav is out of this world and I got 3 months traffic, weather and zag for free. I had XM in last Acura but the reception is better on the 2010. Cant figure out why nav says its 175 to Boston when all my other navs recorded 210. Will have to see if there is a secret route to Bean Town. Overall, the cars performance is excellent but have had it for less than a week. Bought all weather mats but they do not lock while using regular carpeted mats. Have to use only use all weather mats. In 2005 Acura you could snap in two layers of carpet.

  • Best bang for your buck - 2010 Acura TL

    I tried a lot of the other cars out there including the German ones. I have to say that the Acura offers everything they had for much less. The all wheel drive handling is second to none although this cost fuel economy it is worth it. The grill is a love it or hate it item. However if you hate it a lot the dealership can offer different custom grills but for a price. I myself dont mind it and i love the rest of the car. Tech package is a must!!

  • Great Car, but takes a lot of fuel - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    I got the 6 speed manual. I was looking at 2010 Audi S4 with 3.0L V6 supercharger and this acura. I test drove both cars. Audi has alot more lower end torque than TL does. Also, it gives over 30mpg on highway. I bought TL over S4 is because it was 15k less. I had car for 3 weeks now. I cant say much about reliability and so forth, but I can say is that I love the car. It drives nice and sporty. Many people dont like the front grill. Actually I like that. It makes the car look different and I think its a good design.

  • Love it! - 2010 Acura TL

    I bought this car last week. I have owned MBenz and BMW, but this car drives and rides better. It is the most comfortable seating ever. There is, however, too much technology for me. Im too old for some of this stuff. Its a great car. Im still getting used to the styling, though.

  • Started out Infiniti ended up Acura - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    Test drove the base and SH-AWD Acura TL. The SH-AWD, right out of the gate was just smiles. The base driving experience was not the same. Competent but no fun. My teenage expert agrees the acura has a better feel and the tech stuff really is impressive. I bought a white TL with Umber leather. The wife claims it is a mans car (I can live with that). I am getting 23 MPG with a light foot. Fun driving results in 18 MPG. Get the tech package. Honda does that right.

  • Really enjoy car thus far - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive driven my 6-speed manual for over a month now. Love the performance. So much fun to drive. Engine sounds sweet. Im tall (6-5") and no problem with head or leg room. Have had some comfort issues with the headrest still trying to adjust everything. Otherwise the seats "hug" you, which is great. The AWD handles fantastically corners like its on rails. Like the tech system for the most part still learning it. Traffic and weather are nice features. The exterior design is fine despite what the editors say. Like the HID headlights. Gas mileage overall is lower 20s but what do you expect with a 305hp engine - 35mpg? Yeah right. Really like the car and enjoy it immensely.

  • Not a Honda, and thats a good thing - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    Just purchased this vehicle after several test drives. The audio is fantastic--best stock system Ive heard. The AWD platform lacks some of the RWD jazz the G37x does, but youll appreciate that FWD bias in the winter. Also, the Super-Handling is otherworldly. Just try to cause understeer--you cant do it. It out-cornered every other car I drove. I test drove all its competitors, and none of them achieve the balance of value, performance, comfort, features, and reliability that this car does. The torque hits max at c.5k RPM, so this is more of a highway driver than a drag racer. However, in sport mode, you can row the 5AT yourself, and see how fast you hit the power band

  • SWEET - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is on $$$$$... has everything you could want in car and more. Styling, handling and the pure enjoyment of this car makes me get out and just ride. Ive owned a 3 Series BMW and this car excels past that, no longer crave that in-line 6. Went with SH-AWD, with bigger engine and tighter suspension "YOU CANNOT" ask for more!!
