  • Great car but still has some wrinkles... - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Comfy car and great design. After a few weeks had some sound coming from the accelerator like a thumping, I took the car into the dealer at least 3 times and they never found a thing. It still has that thumping sound but very slightly now. Other issues, windows are making sounds, had it fixed they said it was "dry" but it came back and is on the passenger side now. A lot of rattling sounds from visor & other areas of car. This is a great driving car and luxurious, I wouldnt trade it for anything, they just need to correct these minor (thumping not included) issues.

  • Love my TL Elegant & Sporty - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This is a great vehicle. I love the navigation and the voice control. Mine is a sporty and elegant Desert Mist Metallic with the Parchment interior. This is one of the most unique color combinations. The entire family loves the comfort, styling and power it has. It is the best value out there.

  • 2004 TL Manual - 6 month review - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    For 2004 TL owners and potential 2005 TL owners, I encourage purchasing the Manual TL if comparing to Infinity or Lexus. I have been extremely pleased for 6 months of ownership. Handling is great with the Bridgestone tires I have switched to. Power is wonderful and is as exciting as my other car, a V-8. A few interior noises have been corrected. The local dealer, Harper Acura, is outstanding for service. The only 2 improvements will be to add 1-2 cubic feet of trunk space or one folding rear seat, and add the SH-AWD system from RL to the 2006 TL. If Acura does that, I will be purchasing a second TL for my wife.

  • Still Fun After 15 Months - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Still enjoying the car after 15 months. I continue to get a lot of positive comments on the body style. Lower profile takes some getting used to as vision is a lot more restrictive than the Hondas I own. Great milage on the freeway. I continue to buy the extended warranty on my Honda products but have yet to get my premium back, if anything. I imagine my first Acura will be the same. Not sure why the 2005 has a 12 horsepower increase over the 2006. Apparently, Honda didnt calculate it properly in 2004 & 2005.

  • The best car I have ever owned! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The quality of workmanship is far above that I have experienced in any other car. Everything fits perfectly and works perfectly. My new Acura was totaled on 6-4-05 by a Chevy Suburban who smashed into the rear while doing 50 mph. When the insurance pays off, I plan to buy ANOTHER Acura TL. I have no interest in even looking at other cars!
