  • It just makes sense in every way..... - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    In the $25-50K price range, there is no better value out there. You would spend at least $5K more on a CTS and $9-10K more on a 3 series to come close to the level of performance and features that this car has STANDARD! After 600 miles, I am blown away by everything (especially the ELS audio!). I have friends who tell me that they would never have a front- driver, saying it isnt "extreme" enough. All I can say is that with the kind of stop-and-go, real-world driving that most everybody does most of the time, it just doesnt matter. If you want a car that is all about handling and nothing else, get an Evo or a Mini. This is a complete package (that handles just fine).

    I bought this car in 2004 and am still madly in love with the car. It has everything that you could possibly want in a car and more. Highly recommended!

    This was my first venture into an Acura and boy was I pleasantly surprised. The car handles real tight and has power to spare. No passing problems here! Love the navigation system which is integrated into the dash with a very easy to read large screen. Probably one of the best built cars that I own.

  • Awesome 05 Acura TL - 2005 Acura TL

    This is the first brand new car I have ever purchased, and I am thrilled! I bought the car I really wanted, and did not compromise. I test drove every $28-45K car on the market and always came back to the Acura TL. No other car could compare. It is beautiful to look at and the interior is unmatched. It drives and rides very smooth and fast. The exhaust has a great tone. The auto trans. is fantastic. I wanted a car that would lose as little $ as possible, and none is better. Everyone loves the GPS Navigation system and the incredible 5.1 DVD audio playing stereo, sounds like the muscians are in the car giving you a private concert!

  • Fantastic car - 2005 Acura TL

    Took delivery of my 05 a week ago as part of a promotion package, replacing my much loved 03. I cannot fault it, the stereo is superb, the power awesome and the quality of materials is much uprated. My one word of warning is that Acura are clearly gunning for the BMW market. The ride is firm and the power leads to a very engaging and involving ride (it really reminds me of a series 3 I drove a few years ago). My 03 was a smooth elegant (Lexus like) ride. The 05 is more of a bad boy, aggressive, fast, fine competition for teutonic offerings but at an exceptional value price. If you want this, the car is for you. If you want a softer, entry level luxury comfort ride, maybe not. Your choice.

    It is the best car for the money in the market. Love this car; it offers every thing you could ask for. Design, power and just fun to driveĀ…

  • Great car, best in class - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    There is a reason why this car is a top pick by Consumer Reports. For the money you are not going to do much better. The vast array of incredible standard features is just amazing, its an awesome car to drive and seems to do everything you could expect for a car of this price. Sure the new 3 series handles better, but youd have to spend $40K+ to equal the features of this car, and unless you live on a race track it isnt going to make any difference. This is a fast, luxury car that does everything you expect and more. I love mine and if I had to do it all over again would make the same pick.

  • Fantastic Car for the Price! - 2005 Acura TL

    I cannot talk highly enough about this car! It has every feature that I could possibly think of, yet thousands less than BMW or Mercedes whos reliability stinks anyway.
