  • TL is the Bomb - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Just bought an 05 TL non-nav. I have owned 3 previous Acuras and 3 Hondas, so my expectations were based on a solid product background. I was impressed with the over all power and low end torque the TL displayed. The ride is firm, yet comfortable and handles curves well. I am 62" and have plenty of drivers head and leg room. The overall package, materials, fit, and trim are excellent for a car in this pricerange. I also looked at the Mercedes C class and bang for the buck the TL was a no brainer. If you are looking for a sporty sedan that is fun, tight, and not too bad on the wallet the TL warrants a hard look.

    AWESOME, i love the car it is incredible! Wow, thats all i can say. Purchased the vehicle in march and it has been nothing but a delight to me. I have had no problems, and all of my coworkers are jealous. I could not have asked for more, and even at an incredible price.

  • Best Car On The Road For The Money - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is so much fun to drive, I love the 6 speed transmission performs as well as european cars. I know my future cars will be Acuras. I especially like the hands free link ease of use. And to be able to open the roof and windows from the remote is great on those warm days. Also the climate control system is the best I have ever experienced in a car. And driving in the rain the car feels like glue on the road, and driving in the snow with the TSA is great gives you traction instantly. This a true drivers car with all the amenties you could ask for and for the money the best car you will ever own.

    I knew I wanted an Acura TL when I first saw it at the LA Autoshow two years ago. During that time, I researched many other vehicles with the TL being the one to beat. While some other vehicle may have bettered the TL in a certain area, none had the whole package. Now that I have my TL, Im thrilled.

    Performance and luxury and the chicks dig it too! Forget BMW. Forget Audi. Forget Lexus and Infinity too. Mercedes? Wait until youre an old man. By far the best bang for your buck is the Acura TL. I have no regrets.

    Amazing Car for the Price!

  • Fantastic Car - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Without a doubt, the best car I have ever owned. Handling is fabulous and all I want to do is find a reason to drive this car. Ive owned many cars from Audis to VWs and there is no comparison...just a joy to drive. I love it.

  • Great car to drive - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I purchased my 05 TL in Oct and have enjoyed every minute Ive driven it. The acceleration will pull your head back! its that good and very smooth. Ride is a little stiffer than Im used to but all the sporty new cars are like that, Ive driven several. The interior is very well crafted with no visible defects anywhere. Handling is very predictable and the car handles very well at high speed and curves. Gas mileage is so so but I guess if you want power on demand you have to give up something. Seating is great even back seat has plenty of leg and head room. Dealer was great to work with. I would definitely recommend this car.

  • Good but not great - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    My previous car was an Infiniti J30t. I think I prefer a rear wheel drive car for handling and the lack of torque steer. The TL is a great road car and we enjoy it very much. Im a bit surprised that no one has mentioned the low profile tires and the effect on ride and the inability to use traditional chains for snow. Spider spikes work, but are very expensive ($375). Also we have several small interior rattles which come and go. The A/C system seems to provide uneven temperatures. Rear visibility is difficult. Transmission seems to shift too early, resulting in apparent engine vibration.

    No problems at this point. Fit and finish are excellent. Engine and drive train have had no issues but its still a 4 mo old vehicle.
