  • Joy killed by the Remote - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    I always a had remote-start with new my cars for the last 15 years. This time, I went Acura Remote. It cost $900 and you get only one remote start. And it weights a ton. I need a janitors pouch to carry remote-start and the FOB. Luxury car seems like step down from my previous Chevy Malibu.

  • The Gold Standard of Luxury Sport Sedans - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    I applaud Acura for finally taking the lead with a fresh bold design for the TL. The car’s styling is simply brilliant inside and out. And the superbly integrated Tech. package brings the car’s substance on par with its stunning looks. The drive is remarkably quiet and controlled. For the last 15 years, I’ve only driven German cars. Before buying the TL, I also considered Audi A4, BMW 535xi, VW CC VR6, Infiniti G37x, and the Lexus ES350. In this group, the only serious contender for the TL w/ Tech. package is the VW CC VR6, but only if you can live with its two- seater rear arrangement and I couldn’t! So, all things considered, my final analysis led me straight to the TL.

  • Best Value, Perfomance leader. - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    With 3 Hondas in the garage, there is a bit of bias in this review. However, the TL simply offered us the best value for our dollar. Even though we had planned to purchase the TL, we checked out the competition. The only car that could beat the Acura in luxury and performance was the BMW 335X. The cost difference was dramatic at over $9000 more. The Cadillac was limited in from passenger leg room. The Audi drove like a Subaru, and the Infinity would not downshift. The TL grill is far from flattering, but we plan on replacing it with a painted aftermarket option next year. Build quality is superb. The Michelin tires will be gone by next year at the rate of shredding that I done so far. BUY 1

  • Driven by Reason - Its a $teal @ $30K - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    I wasnt even interested in this car. Coming from Infi G35 and Saab 9-3, I was looking for a fresh look, tracking the new Volvo S60/Buick Regal GS due out in summer. Then started fooling around internet and along came a deal at 20% off MSRP plus 0.9% financing. Went with base model as ride is noticeably smoother without appreciable overall performance trade, and I simply wont go north in price given the 280 hp/256 lb-ft under the hood. Just logged 1100+ miles over 2 long road trips avg 28 mpg hwy at speeds way above appropriate. The car is excellent to drive and I do not find "numb steering" nor "torque steer" as some reviewers opine. TIP: skip the Tech Pack base radio inks 6 CD changer.

  • Great all around car - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    This car has all the things my wife and I were looking for. Fast, handles well, extremely comfortable, and roomy. Also, our top priority. The best stock sound system weve ever heard. Gets mid 20s mpg on a trip, which is acceptable.

  • 12 months later and still loving it! - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    Was hesitant to try a near luxury brand, but have been more and more impressed with this car. Interior has held up well and now that i understand all the tech gadgets Im very comfortable using 90% or more of the interior gadgets

  • Who said this is a bad look? - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    I bought my TL, and 2 weeks later my wife wanted one, so now we have 2, same everything, just 2 different colors. I looked at the Infiniti and Lexus and this car by far was a better buy. this car is a pleasure to drive..

  • Glad to Be Back in an Acura - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    In 1986, I jumped on board and bought the first ever Acura Integra. Three years later and 110,000 miles, I replaced it for a "family car" Honda Accord. The last 15 years I have owned three Toyota Camrys - all six cylinder. All performed flawlessly, but were vanilla and boring. I couldnt be happier to be back in an Acura TL. My 2010 handles incredibly. The paddle shifters operate in two different modes and add fun to the driving experience. When the 2009 body style was introduced, I hated. Now, I could not love it more. It truly has an aggressive dont mess with me look, which fits its driving personality. It is a unique design that I hope Acura continues to build on. I love this car!

  • Great car for the money - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    Acura has done its homework on the new Acura TL SH-AWD! This car is very solid and a blast to drive. It hugs the road and curves like a great fitting glove. Its 3.7 engine is very fast and really easy on gas. I am already getting 26 on the highway at 75 mpg! The tech package is a must if you travel a lot. The sound system sounds very nice and I can store all of my CDs on the hard drive so I no longer have to keep my CDs in my car! It is just plain fun to drive!

  • What a surprise! - 2010 Acura TL
    By -

    Leased my 2010 TL SH-AWD last week. Great combination of comfort, style and performance. Love the interior. Has ample backseat room for two as I entertain clients frequently. Incredible handling for large sedan. Quiet and compliant ride for a car with a relatively stiff suspension. Busy dash and steering wheel, but easy to get used to. And what a great value! The car mags usually compare to BMW 3 or Audi A4 type cars should compare to BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Infiniti M. TL is thousands less expensive for purchase and hundreds per month less for lease. Best value out there for mid - large luxury sedan.
