Overview & Reviews

Other than a new tire-pressure monitor and altered engine management (for reduced torque steer), the Acura TL is mechanically unchanged for 2006. As with all 2006 Acura cars, there is a longer powertrain warranty for the TL. It now provides six years/70,000 miles of protection. New SAE testing procedures have dropped the TL's horsepower rating from 270 to 258.

• Luxurious interior, long list of standard equipment, powerful V6 engine, slick-shifting six-speed manual, pleasant blend of ride comfort and fun, superb sound system.

  2006 Acura TL - 2006 Acura TL
  By jw - September 25 - 10:31 am

  Have had the car for two weeks, been an absolute joy to drive. Agree with some previous raters, this should be rear wheel drive (although Im surprised by how well Acura has managed the torque steer). Interior fit and finish are excellent, cabin layout is efficient and well done. Looked at 3 and 5 series as well as G35/M, when adding in the cost component, this car doesnt take a back seat to any of the aforementioned cars.

  First time Acura owner - 2006 Acura TL
  By scott720 - September 24 - 8:08 pm

  A loyal Honda owner, I thought it was time to move up the food chain and try an Acura. This is a fantastic car - powerful, full of feartures, great looking and I know I have the reputation of Honda behind it. My only reservation is with the total cost of ownership - requires the expensive gas, the tires are rumored to cost upwards of $300 a piece (and I didnt buy the high performance tires, the stock tires are W rated), and Im guessing the repairs, when I face them, wont be cheap.

  Love This Car!!! - 2006 Acura TL
  By sara - September 23 - 12:04 pm

  After much test driving of many cars we were sold on the new TL. It took us several months of looking at several different cars, but we always came back to and compared them all to the TL. This car is so much fun to drive, I find reasons to run to the store to pick up groceries! The gas mileage has been terrific, averaging about 27 miles to the gallon. We have taken trips to Indianapolis several times, and it has been a pleasure to drive. The interior space is comfortable, quiet, and spacious. Our 67" son rides very comfortably in the front seat, as well as the back seat. We love our new TL.

  74 years young and his Acura TL - 2006 Acura TL
  By Floyd Holmes - September 18 - 12:39 pm

  From the day I picked up the car, it has been a sheer pleasure to drive and own. Previously I had a 98 Acura TL. This 06 is something to behold. Cornering is fantastic with not even a hint of sliding in your seat, oversteering or any other malady. The interior is camel colored and the exterior is Redondo Red Pearl. The combination makes it look like a million dollars. It is tight and the sound system is out of this world. I only have one of the DVD CDs but am looking to increase my collection because of sheer quality you receive with as compared to the regular CD. The only complaint I have is the cup holder. It is not designed for a coffee mug, only the stryofoam tapered ones.

  Great TL but has some flaws - 2006 Acura TL
  By CPT Keanu - September 15 - 10:59 pm

  Bought in July performs flawlessly on freeway. Quiet & very comfortable love the XM on desolate roads. Awesome highway mileage @ 31mpg going 75+mph! Great exterior & bi-xenons are invaluable. Love the interior blue hue color. To contrast its great features, in city its different. Must drive very very conservative to get decent mpg. Suspension rough over hard surfaces. Steering not responsive like TSX. Been to dealer 6 times driver window rattling, trunk latch inop, headliner sagging took 3 attempts to fix! Now rough idle @ startup & weird idle fluxuations! Our many loaner TSXs are tempting us. Our 99 TL was made better. Never had rattling noises or tranny issues even at 160k what a car.

  My 2006 TL with Navigation - 2006 Acura TL
  By Michael B - September 13 - 8:42 pm

  I purchased this car on July 19th 2006, and it is by far the best car I have ever owned! I am getting 26-29 mpg all the time. The looks both inside and out make this car look far more expensive than it is. The sound system is INCREDIBLE! I just wish that the DVD- A discs were easier to find in stores and not just on-line!

  WARNING to driving enthusiasts - 2006 Acura TL
  By enthusiast3 - September 12 - 7:00 pm

  I sure wish I had test driven this car more before buying it. I just traded in my 2006 6 speed TL with only 5,900 miles on it. This car is really nice in some ways and I possibly would have kept it if I had bought it with an automatic, but it definitely is not a "drivers" car. I really wanted to like this car, Ive owned two Accords and two Integras, all of which were great cars w/manual transmissions. I went so far as to replace the stock all season tires with summer only tires and I even thought long and hard about buying the A-Spec suspension, which you can find on e-bay now. I was prepared for a little torque steer, but not for the complete lack of involvement.

  Comfort, Class, & Honda Reliable - 2006 Acura TL
  By DCE - September 9 - 2:27 pm

  My wife needed to replace her aging Jag so we went looking and she drove a 2 year old Acura TL with 47K that was in dealers lot. It was as sturdy as rock - no squeaks, rattles, or signs of aging. And the very best Nav System on any car Ive seen. After driving the competitors, we returned to the dealer and bought a brand new TL. After 5 months, no problems, no regrets. Im the sportscar type (S2000) but I keep finding reasons to drive the Acura. Just wish it was RWD - on hard acceleration from very low speed I can feel the torque steer. Other than that, no complaints.

  2003TL to 2006 TL - 2006 Acura TL
  By Bob W - August 28 - 2:56 pm

  We loved the 2003, but wanted to get the navigation system and the blue tooth capability. 2006 has more power and more air bags. Great XM radio. great service at the dealer Front head rests are too big blocking view out the side and rear. Passenger seat is too low for short folks. Ride is OK on smooth road, but rough on broken pavement.
