  Everything Id hoped for and more - 2010 Acura TL
  By James - July 13 - 9:43 pm

  Own and love a BMW Z4 and was preparing to buy a 535XI until I drove this car. Pulls well in all six gears, and close ratio shifting is smoother than any car Ive ever driven. (reminiscent of a previously owned 1995 NSX). Technology is easy to use and impressive. All wheel drive makes the car feel as if its on rails on sweeping freeway on-ramps. An absolute blast to drive.

  3rd Aura TL - 2010 Acura TL
  By RFW - June 21 - 9:16 am

  Recently took possession of 2010 Acura TL with tech package. this vehicle replaced 2006 TL. We also had a 2003 TL. Already bullet proof TLs keep getting better. The 2010 is bigger than the 06 and more comfortable. Also bigger trunk. Combined mileage in mis 20s with a bigger engine. Very substantial hard drive for loading CDs. Excellent interface for Ipod. With all this audio power, XM radio is not necessary. key fob is handy for my wife. She can keep it in her purse. I plug it into dash receptacle as I am afraid it will fall out of my pocket. A lot of compliments on the blue pearl color.

  Better tham Bimmer - 2010 Acura TL
  By cartalk - June 20 - 10:59 am

  Purchased this manual transmission TL SH-AWD based on the praise it received during editor test drives. Let me just say that it exceeded my expectations. It handles and drives better than my 335xDrive BMW with more room and comfort. Those considering a German car costing you thousands more would be foolish not to try the TL. I rushed to get one because Acura is stopping (or has stopped already) production on the Manual Trans TLs. Get one now before theyre gone! Great balance of power, handling, and technology (best NAV) if you can deal with the polarizing styling.

  Nothing compares for the price - 2010 Acura TL
  By montoro - June 17 - 5:50 pm

  Bought the car a few months ago and love it. The handling and power is unbelievable. I find it extremely easy to cruise on the highway and the tech package is a must with an actually easy to use nav. i looked at other cars and the nav always seemed very complex.

  The Gold Standard of Luxury Sport Sedans - 2010 Acura TL
  By GP2000 - June 14 - 12:25 am

  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 Mr Marco - June 8 - 1:09 pm

  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 JCinDC - June 6 - 7:44 am

  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 EddyC - June 4 - 4:59 am

  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.

  By Olu - May 31 - 10:47 am

  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

  By Ray - May 21 - 8:35 am

  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..
