  • Excellent - 2005 Acura TL

    Simply a wonderful car! Luxury mixed with sportiness. I love the way it handles. It has all of the technology you can ask for, for the price. I wouldnt trade it for anything!

    I have been driving this car for almost 2 years. This is the best car that I have ever owned. It is fun to drive, the highway mpg is excellent, and I have never had to have any service other than required maintenance.

  • Awesome little devil - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This car makes me want to hug it. Its completely different than my 2003 TL. It drives great, a little stiff though. I DONT like Bridgestone Turanza tires since they make the ride a lot stiffer and you feel many bumps. Michelins would have made a huge difference. Oh well. On the positive side, this car is a pleasure to get inside. The audio is great (speakers are a little underpowered and sub is way too powerfull for them). Bluetooth is great with Verizon Motorola V710 phone. Not much body roll when turning compared to 2003 TL. Rear wheel drive would make this car a lot more fun to drive though. Overall its a great car.

  • What did ya expect??? Its coooolio! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I underpowered off the line, but more than makes up for it in midrange. Nav with voice command is lots of fun. Its really cool changing the radio station, the climate control, which CD is playing etc. by voice command. Oh, and the "Find nearest..." voice command is really cool. "Find nearest chinese restaurant". Shhhhnazzy! Great car to drive. Very nimble with a very satisfying acceleration jolt when the gas peddle is mashed. The stereo has very good sound quality but is a bit underpowered if you like to rattle your rearview mirror. Be prepared. This is a sports sedan and not a "pillow barge". Therefore it may ride a bit stiff if youre expecting to sit on a cushion of poof.

    I love this car. It is exciting every time I get in it. Ive had no problems, but have a curious situation. The fuel tank claims to be over 17 gallons, but even when running on empty I have never been able to put more than 13 gallons in without the automatic cut-off kicking in and then I can only get more gas - up to 3 gallons or so - into the tank in short bursts. This is a pain. The dealer finds no problem.

  • Just Fun - 2005 Acura TL

    I have had the TL for 3 months now. Its been fun to drive and I look forward to my commute. The car is well put together. It drives like a lux sports sedan. It is quiet and you feel in total control.

  • Perfection - 2005 Acura TL

    The finest automobile I have ever owned. Better gas mileage than advertised at 32-34 mpg on trips, 25- 27 in town.

  • great car! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Was disappointed with gas mileage, but was told that it "adjusts" to my driving style. As a result, highway mileage is very good, local mileage just so-so. Requires super gas, so cost of running is high. Love the car except for the mileage situation!

  • TL - Go for it - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Sound system is the best. The car is not too big or small very roomy rear seats. Very reliable and great lines. My first more expensive car and I feel is well worth the extra money.

  • Great Car-Horrible Paint Job - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The title of the review says it all. This car needs to be built in Japan! The entire paint job is orange pealed and the deck lid has a sizeable foreign object under the color coat which will remain as Im not bringing a brand new car to a body shop.
