  • Lot of car for the money - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Have only had the car for 3 weeks but am very impressed with all aspects so far. Before buying my TL I considered the Toyota Avalon (very tempting), the Infiniti G35, and the Lexus ES. For the price the TL offered more features as standard equipment than the others. I find it hard to understand some reviews that I read which were very critical of the quality, ride, etc. I hope my favorable impression does not change in the future.

    This is my fourth Acura and it is an awesome car. I have owned cars for over 50 years and this auto is the finest and most advanced automoblie I have ever driven. At one time I drove over 50,000 miles per year. I would also like to point out that there is practically nothing that one can add, all accessories are included from the get-go, I would have had to spend an additional $10,000 to get the equal in another vehicle.

    This car is an absolute beauty. I test drove it 5 times (manual transmission) and simply could not it off my mind. My acura is reliable, a real beauty-> almost feels Italian, very fasssst and the 6spd is simply out of this world... so what if you have a bit of torque steer...Take this baby out for a spinnn, double clutch 5-> 3rd, not a single complaint.

    Overall this is a great car. Fun to drive, powerful, plenty of standard features and excellent design inside and out. I fell in love with this car the first time I passed one on the road. After lusting 1 1/2 years I finally made my purchase. A pleasure to drive.

  • TL Silences Tough Critic - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    After dozens of new car purchaces, my wife and I have finally found a car that we can totally agree on. She always bases her decision on looks and features, while mine is on the mechanical and reliability factors. Our new TL covers all bases on both sides. The looks and features alone sell the car, but the quality of the engineering on this vehicle is unsurpassed by any other vehicle at any price. The TL drives like a Vette, while being as comfortable as a luxury sedan. Fit and finish are impeccable. Three hour trips to the lake seem much shorter now. Performance is incredible, gas milage is good and we still get looks on the road. 20,000 miles. Great job, guys.

  • Another great Acura package - 2005 Acura TL

    Acura does it again with the perfect combination of features and price. I had a TSX before this. I loved the car but it needed a little more stop and a little more go. The TL serves that up nicely. FYI, if you are choosing between a TSX and a TL there are subtle performance advantages to both. The TSX is a little smaller and a little tighter and is still 100% Japanese. For me, the TL is what I really wanted.

  • Simply the Best - 2005 Acura TL

  • The Acura TL: A wise investment - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Dollar for dollar, I challenge anyone to find a vehicle that yields a better return on money than the 2004 or 2005 Acura TL, specifically with the navigation system. The "Navi" does not just give drivers a map, it gives the driver the opportunity to also control the climate control, the audio system and of course, the navigational unit via voice command. The fact that it is dvd-based allows owners to update the seven million points of intest, which further allows the car, like the brand, to put a death grip on its long term value. For some prospective owners, it may be nice to know the engine and car is built in the U.S. and has a ULEV-2 rating.

  • Lovin it! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I go for looks and the Acura TL just kept making my head turn. I love the shape and its sporty-luxury look. I visited a showroom just to check it out and then just had to have one when I saw the interior. I recommend the one w/ the Navigation system. My ten year old son and I are just having a ball with the car. The wife and daughter are totally into it too. I love that I got so much for the money. :)

  • The TL is a NICE Ride. - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Great Car. The ride is smooth and powerful. The look is bold, sexy and mean. The inside of the car gives you the bang for your buck.
