  • The best car I owned - 2005 Acura TL

    Best car I owned. Bought more than 20 new automobiles, all types. This 2005 Acura TL has it all. Excellent handling, power, comfort, looks and safety plus the best sound system. Loaded with many extras.

    I researched this vechile more than any I have bought and found it the most highly rated in its class. After 3000 miles, I concur with what I have read. The navigation system is easily learned, I am 64 years old with moderate computer skills and I use it regularly as I travel to find not only my destination, but banks, resturantes, etc. I average above 30 mpg on the road and above 25 in town. I am a large guy and find the seats comfortable at 240 lbs.

  • My dream car - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I wanted to buy this car four years ago and passed on it. Im glad I waited until the re-design. This is an outstanding car in every sense of the word. Not only that it is a real eye catcher when you are driving around town. It gets good gas mileage on the road but really takes off when you get on it. It is the perfect blend of sport and luxury as far as Im concerned. One of the best features is the surround sound stereo system. It is even better than my bose home system. Buy this car, you wont regret it.

    Best looking model in the Honda/Acura lineup. The 6 sp is a blast to drive and much more exciting than automatic. Wonderful stereo and DVD sound. This car is very refined, balanced in all aspects. Compares to cars $10k more in price.

    Amazing car for the money. Very happy with everything but a few quality issues with the interior. Love the looks inside and out. Fun to drive! Looked at ES, IS, A4, TSX, Camry, Accord. TL has it all and more. Dont buy a ~33K car without looking at this one.

    migrated from honda to acura and this is awesome. all the features are good. nav is amazing and controls are all within easy reach. leg room for the rear seats is a little tight for tall people. i could never get the dvd audio to work on the systems. rear seats do not fold.

  • Great Value - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Strengths: Fantastic sound system; smooth, powerful engine; sharp, short- throw manual transmission; perfect driving position; top-notch safety equipment; perfect build quality; enjoyable dealership experience; tons of car for the money. Weaknesses: Manual transmission- equipped cars hard to come by; OK, there is also a little torque steer.

  • 2005 TL NAVI 6 SPEED - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I love the Acura TL. For the money you cannot beat it. It is a very smooth operator, a little stiff on the ride; it might be the 17" wheels. I guess my TL will be a little stiffer because I will be putting 19" shoes on it soon. I like everything about the exterior styling. The interior of the car is above average to me. A lot of the car is voice activated. XM radio is ok, I wish I could hook up my MP3 player, nice 6 disc CD player, the audio system is 5.1 surround sound, nice highs with a powerful sub. The navi is to sweat, and I hope you already have a Bluetooth phone. I use my Nokia 6620, nice, paired up on first try. I have already used the heated mirrors and seats.

  • TL has value, aesthetics, refinement - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I tested BMW 3 (pre 5/05), Saab 3 and 5, Infi G35X, and Lexus ES. To my ears the Acura TL engine was the most musical up and down the tach, and the automatic with sequential shift feature is very smooth and entertaining (and even practical when slower speeds and descents must be controlled). Suspension and brakes inspire confidence. What sold me on the car was the well-designed interior, the look and feel of the perforated leather seats, which are firm yet plush. For a midsize car, this has plenty of room on the inside for driver and passengers.
