Great Car, Great Value - 2005 Acura TL
By Randy - November 19 - 12:26 amAfter driving a BMW 330 CiC for a few years I can say that this car is faster, but doesnt handle quite as well. The sound system on this car is superior. I love the XM Radio feature. The navigation system on the BMW, although not a DVD and in some ways not as complete, was more accurate. This one takes some getting used to and I frequently cant find a place that I am looking for. This car is fun to drive, fast, comfortable and offers a superior sound system. The back seats have plenty of room.

what a car - 2005 Acura TL
By Slavka - November 16 - 8:13 amI had it for three weeks now. What a fun drive. I love the stick shift. I test drove their automatic and it just doesnt feel the same. Navigation is great. Free trial of XM is really making me think that I should subscribe. Bluetooth is really helpful when driving stick. Voice recognition didnt work well at first, but then I learned how to speak so "she" will understand me. Just came back from autoshow, and (not comparing to those exotic cars or anything higher then $50K) this is best designed vehicle on the market right now, both exterior and interior (IMHO)

Great car - first year of ownership - 2005 Acura TL
By KJW73 - November 3 - 10:19 amI love this car! This November 2006, I will have owned the car for one year (approx. 9800 miles) and the experience has been terrific. I never thought that I would like a sedan, but this car has everything to enjoy. The navigation is especially user friendly never had a problem with it and has always been accurate. The seating is comfortable on long and short hauls. The interior quality so far is very good I have the parchment colored leather and it is easily soiled, so you have to keep up on cleaning it often. The TL is very quick considering its size. Love the get-up-and-go of the 270 horses.

Best in class - hands down - 2005 Acura TL
By tn from sc - October 10 - 1:50 amMy first car (10 years ago) was an Acura Integra I had for 5 years. Ever since, Ive missed that Acura feel in terms of tightness, quality, drive, etc. Ive only had the TL for a day, but love everything about it. Its amazing what you get for the money compared to everything else. Acura quality throughout. The Nav system is the best Ive seen - perfect size screen, usability, etc. - must better than Toyotas for example. The voice activation is amazing - and again in a car that costs only in the low 30s. I cant see anything else out there that competes with this for the money.

I love this car! - 2005 Acura TL
By A Humphreys - September 27 - 10:03 amI do love this car, its fun to drive and amazingly reliable. The navigation system is extremely easy to use and has saved me so much time and money - I suspect navi systems will become standard in cars....

German convert - 2005 Acura TL
By German Convert - September 25 - 3:56 pmUsed to drive only German. First VW then BMW. I had looked at the previous model TL and found it lacking, but not the 2005. It basically boiled down to a BMW 530 and the TL. They had comparable specs and equipment, but the BMW was $10K more and had poor reliability. Granted, the Acura does not handle as tightly or sharply as the Bimmer, but unless you routinely drive curvy roads without traffic slowing you down, youll never miss the BMWs better handling. Im not a brand snob so I had no problem taking the Acura nameplate over BMW. Highly recommended.

Best Yet - 2005 Acura TL
By Fran - September 22 - 2:12 pmHaving never written a review before this I feel compelled to do so now. I have owned many vehicles in my 60+ years including several recent Infinitis and I must say after 1 1/2 years with this TL this is the best of all of them. I have the model w/navigation and wouldnt think of buying a car without it from now on. This car is fun to drive and gets over 30 MPG on the highway. I put on 25K- 30K miles per year and this car has held up great with no problems at all.

The Best Car - 2005 Acura TL
By SHORNBACK - September 22 - 12:51 pmI absolutely love this car! The way Acura designed this vehicle is just amazing. They did it with the driver in mind. Everything is within reach, without taking your eyes of the road. Handsfree navigation system is great, with a press of a button you can ask for the nearest atm, gas station, Acura dealer, restaurant, climate control, stereo control. Overall this is the best car I have ever owned. Whenever I have a chance I alway refer everyone I know to Acura when they are looking to purchase a vehicle.
