  • Honda Delivers Again! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I have owned Honda cars all my life I have been extremely satified with their reliability and durability - decided to move up and a get into their luxury line. Read many good reviews but the only way you can truly experience the excitement of owning an Acura TL is by being in the drivers seat, drive it and enjoy all the amenities and the power that has to offer.

    Good driving car. A little stiff around town but excellent on the road.

    This car has performed flawlessly. I have had zero maintenance problems and it handles like a sports car. Extremely comfortable and very solid on the road. Wind noise is a bit annoying, low end torque could be better and I have had a break squeal on application that the dealer has never been able to correct. I put on almost 1000 miles a week of high speed mileage with no induced driver fatigue. I also own a 3 Series BMW but like the Acura better.

  • Road Noise - 2005 Acura TL

    My wife has had 3 Acuras and been pleased with all of them but the 2005 TL. This car has too much road noise we cant hear the radio or conversations in the car. Needless to say this car is being traded in.

    After driving a 96 Maxima SE for 8 years, I decided it was time to step up a notch. Considered both the TL and the Infiniti G30 both with manual transmissions. Performance, to me, was quite evenly matched, but the fit and finish of the TL blew the G out of the water. This car is GREAT to drive and begs for you to put your right foot to the floor. Its scary how easy it is to top 100 mph in this car and not realise it. As the engine is so quite, even at 6,000 rpm, the rev limiter is a necessary piece of technology in this car. Passengers love the dual climate control and satellite radio. Dont lease this baby b/c youll hate the restriction of limited miles. She wants to be driven!

    Bought this car a month ago, finally gave up my 96 Volvo GLT Wagon with a 5 speed. A little disappointed with the automatic transmission, hardly seamless. With all the high tech stuff I cant believe it doesnt have automatic headlights. My 96 Volvo had that. The ride is pleasant enough and the sound system is awesome.

    The Acura TL is one of the best values for a semi-luxury car I have seen, It has excellent acceleration and ride quality. The car has an awesome sound system and a very quiet interior.

  • Fantastic Car - 2005 Acura TL

    Ive had this car just over a year and I absolutely love driving it. Getting in every morning still makes me feel like the day I left the dealership. Its performance is just awesome and I cant see myself trading it in for a long, long time.
