  A LUXURY BEST BUY - 2005 Acura TL
  By jonnyb - July 26 - 8:25 pm

  I shopped for months for a great sports sedan. I test drove a 06 BMW 325, a vovlo s40 turbo, an Audi a4 turbo, and an infinity G35. What it came down to was that the Acura TL had virtually more power, better navigation system, better reputation for reliability ( I asked 3 mechanics all said go Japanese), modern and stylistic interior, aggressive and sporty exterior, and a buyer friendly price tag.

  Id buy it again in a heartbeat! - 2005 Acura TL
  By bobm - July 24 - 9:08 pm

  I love this car. Looks great, handles well, does everything well! Even my 22 - 28 yr old kids like it! Ive got 45k flawless miles on it and am hoping one of my kids will be able to afford it when it hits 75k. Id be happy to get by with lower horsepower in exchange for a switch from premium to regular gas, but if it drops my gas mileage, forget it! This is truly a no-regrets car.

  Easy fun and glad I bought one - 2005 Acura TL
  By M. klein - July 23 - 8:50 pm

  Great car and easy to drive. For me it was whether or not I would be happy without another mercedes. Had owned 4 Mercedes and decided this time to look at Acura as we were happy with our daughters Acura RSX that we bought 2 years ago. Reluctantly I went over but once behind the wheel there was no turning back. Lots of extras that the 320C class didnt have from Mercedes. The dealership was first class and the ride was superb. Loved the RL but since I still have a college student that will be driving the car in the summers with me decide that RL to fancy. I have come to love my TL in no time The ease of the navigation system and the voice command activation system is fun and I love my car.

  good car - 2005 Acura TL
  By Tim - June 30 - 11:30 am

  Almost 6 months now. I didnt want to write review too soon before I really spend some time w/ it. Its a great car for your $$$. Nice ride on the highway. When I wanted to go, it goes. Had a lot of fun on twisties (w/ A-Spec). Fun car to toss around in the snow too (of course I took down those summer tires). Stability control just would not let this front drive car go out of line. Original shocks & springs were too soft. Got the A-Spec package and all soft feelings went away. (If you dig Lexus, this is not for you.) If you dont mind spend a little more, I highly recommend the A-Spec. power, winter driving, family use, look, functionality, quality and gas mileage (for 270hp) in perfect harmony.

  Great car but still has some wrinkles... - 2005 Acura TL
  By CC - June 25 - 10:26 am

  Comfy car and great design. After a few weeks had some sound coming from the accelerator like a thumping, I took the car into the dealer at least 3 times and they never found a thing. It still has that thumping sound but very slightly now. Other issues, windows are making sounds, had it fixed they said it was "dry" but it came back and is on the passenger side now. A lot of rattling sounds from visor & other areas of car. This is a great driving car and luxurious, I wouldnt trade it for anything, they just need to correct these minor (thumping not included) issues.

  Love my TL Elegant & Sporty - 2005 Acura TL
  By garymbachap - May 30 - 7:56 pm

  This is a great vehicle. I love the navigation and the voice control. Mine is a sporty and elegant Desert Mist Metallic with the Parchment interior. This is one of the most unique color combinations. The entire family loves the comfort, styling and power it has. It is the best value out there.

  2004 TL Manual - 6 month review - 2005 Acura TL
  By JKG - May 23 - 1:40 pm

  For 2004 TL owners and potential 2005 TL owners, I encourage purchasing the Manual TL if comparing to Infinity or Lexus. I have been extremely pleased for 6 months of ownership. Handling is great with the Bridgestone tires I have switched to. Power is wonderful and is as exciting as my other car, a V-8. A few interior noises have been corrected. The local dealer, Harper Acura, is outstanding for service. The only 2 improvements will be to add 1-2 cubic feet of trunk space or one folding rear seat, and add the SH-AWD system from RL to the 2006 TL. If Acura does that, I will be purchasing a second TL for my wife.

  Still Fun After 15 Months - 2005 Acura TL
  By Barry - May 22 - 12:10 am

  Still enjoying the car after 15 months. I continue to get a lot of positive comments on the body style. Lower profile takes some getting used to as vision is a lot more restrictive than the Hondas I own. Great milage on the freeway. I continue to buy the extended warranty on my Honda products but have yet to get my premium back, if anything. I imagine my first Acura will be the same. Not sure why the 2005 has a 12 horsepower increase over the 2006. Apparently, Honda didnt calculate it properly in 2004 & 2005.
