Overview & Reviews

After a three-year absence, the performance-oriented "Type-S" trim level returns. It features a 286-horsepower, 3.5-liter version of Acura's SOHC 32-valve VTEC-equipped V6, a sport-tuned suspension and Brembo high-performance front and rear disc brakes. The Type-S also gets a unique front fascia, quad tailpipes, specific 17-inch wheels and paddle shifters for the five-speed automatic transmission when that option is ordered. The regular TL continues forward with freshened exterior styling and a revised center stack and instrument panel. However the six-speed manual transmission and Brembo brakes are now restricted solely to the Type-S model.

• Roomy and well-appointed interior, excellent handling for a relatively large front-drive sedan, sweet-natured V6 engines matched to outstanding transmissions, fantastic sound system, top crash-test scores.

• Front-drive handling limitations are apparent when the car is driven aggressively, lack of low-end torque in some situations.

  Problems within 3 days - 2007 Acura TL
  By Shellbellfl1 - July 18 - 9:09 am

  Loved the car until the power steering pump had to be replaced after only 3 days! Car made loud rattling noise and had to be taken for service for the problem. Very disappointed and would not buy the car again.

  Truthful review. - 2007 Acura TL
  By ChrisM. - July 15 - 11:42 pm

  I love the car if youre looking for a quiet ride, this is not the car for you. Interior is poorly built, and there is much rattling. Outside drivers mirror bangs on something, center speaker rattles over bumps, dashboard (made of plastic) rattles over bumps, passengers headrest makes a sound like someone is chewing gum in your ear. Also, if you test drive the car, leave the window open and keep your ears keen to the metal banging that happens underneath the car when hitting bumps at over 30mph. My car suffers from this and the 2 TL loaners that ive received so far also did this. Annoying, but I was told its normal and not much can be done about it. Performance, design all good.

  My Lucky Wife! - 2007 Acura TL
  By Jon L - July 13 - 10:09 am

  We were looking for a new car for my wifes commute and our weekends, something suitable for Wisconsin winters but attractive and sporty. No more minivans or SUVs - been doing that for years with kids. Came down to the BMW 328xi and the Acura, ultimately we decided to go with a fully loaded Acura for less money vs. a very basic BMW with no leather, power/heated seats, etc. We get lots of looks on the road - no Acura dealer for 100 miles, so its also unique here. So far she loves it!

  2007 Acura TL Type-S 6MT - 2007 Acura TL
  By dcdgoth - July 5 - 2:54 am

  I traded in my 05 TL 5AT for 07 Type-S and I absolutely love it. I test drove the IS 350 but I didnt like the riding quality, space was too small, and also it didnt have option for manual transmission. Type-S was exactly what I want it. I was going about 40 mph and upshifted to 6th gear to see if this car could handle a stiff hill without stalling, and it did! It accelerated and gained more rpms as it was reaching to the top. With $4000 more than base TL, you get all the options: NAVI, brembo breaks, 3.5L engine, sport tuned suspension, etc.

  Cool Looking but.... - 2007 Acura TL
  By ed batizu - July 3 - 3:35 pm

  Like the looks of the car and the nav features are great. The transmission is clunky (especially downshifting into 1st gear) and I was hoping that it would "break in" more. The seat is not as comfortable as my Volvo S60 but good leg and head room. Solidly constructed - brakes and handles well. Like the safety features. Nice car but will most likely go Infiniti or Lexus next time for the added comforts.

  Type S - 2007 Acura TL
  By Bertinoj - June 29 - 10:28 pm

  I owned an 04 TL, and an 05 RL. I traded that RL on a G35 coupe. Loved the G35, but really missed the Acura product. So, this past June 25th I walked into an Acura dealership and negotiated a deal on a 07 TL type S. A lot of the bells and whistles of the RL, faster and more stable than the TL. How can you go wrong. Not as fast as the G35, but so much more refined, and a pleasure to drive.

  Another Acura - 2007 Acura TL
  By Peter - June 20 - 7:04 pm

  This is Acura number 4 for me. These car are incredibly reliable and great to own. The TL comes with virtually every option that all of the competition puts into pricey packages. I put in a lot of miles every year and comfort is a priority. The TL is extremely driver/passenger friendly. The ride is smooth and the shifting is seamless. Navigation and voice activated system is very good. No more fumbling for phone or headset since everything is hands-free and controlled from steering wheel. Design is pretty conservative but not bad. Mileage is better than last TL even with more horsepower. Currently I get about 28 mpg hwy and 25 overall.

  Finally a good purchase! - 2007 Acura TL
  By mhoule2732 - June 19 - 8:31 am

  To start off, I owned a 2003 Type S as well. I drove the car to 100,000 miles with only 1 problem (a broken axle). I loved the car but sold due to the higher mileage and purchased a 2003 Audi A4 6cyl 3.0 engine. I never liked it and kept only 5 months. I test drove the G35x, IS 350, BMW 3 series, and FX35 Infiniti and chose the Type S again. This car is very fast and fun to drive. The handling is great but the ride is just OK, but I guess if you dont want that type of ride buy the regular TL (still happy). Really no complaints but I do only get about 19 MPG. I guess thats not too bad considering how impossible it is to not drive like a complete maniac.

  Awsome Sedan - but not a Sports Sedan - 2007 Acura TL
  By Peter - April 6 - 6:43 am

  The interior is fantastic and is open enough to accommodate many body types & sizes. Its more of a luxury sedan then a performance sedan. The TL Type-S is basically the same as the TL except it adds a bigger engine with some added HP but its still attached to a FWD vehicle, good for those who like the extra power. The interior design, fit and finish is excellent, the exterior is getting to be a bit outdated but its still noticeable on the road. Comes with Honda reliability and its fun to drive factor is high for a car thats not really designed to be fun to drive. Fuel economy is on par for a sedan.

  To Know It is to Love It! - 2007 Acura TL
  By JAMES M. CASTELLO - March 18 - 10:16 am

  From the test drive to the drive home to the drive way, this is the most exciting car in this price range Ive ever driven. My drive to work is 30 min. and its not long enough for me to enjoy my new TL. Sometimes I find myself driving the scenic route to work. All I can say is this is a true drivers car - drive it, youll love it.
