  Best car Ive owned - 2005 Acura TL
  By Gary - March 20 - 8:53 pm

  I read a lot of reviews about the TL before I bought mine. I drove both the 6 speed and the 5 speed automatic. I recommend the automatic because it definitely exhibits far less torque steer than the manual, and with the traffic in California who really wants to deal with shifting (besides, the automatic has a manumatic feature which really works! Im surprised that it sticks well enough in corners, as long as you dont take it too hot, that I really dont miss my IS 300. On the flipside, the turning radius is longer than I wanted and the disclaimer for the Navi system everytime you start the car is just way too annoying. The car is very quiet, and the ride firm but comfortable.

  Great Total Package - 2005 Acura TL
  By Dan - February 28 - 6:23 am

  I have owned Saabs and Volvos for many years and decided to look for an all around performer for road trips, city driving, snow, ice and hot weather driving. I looked at all the competitors to the TL and found the TL to be tops in the "total package"; the well integrated controls of the excellent sound system, navigation system, the blue tooth cell phone technology, the power and handling. There are definitely improvements that can be made but no other car puts it all together like Acura did with the TL at under $35K. A bit surprised about the poor milage the TL has shown me in the one year Ive had it - only averaging 17MPG mixed. Nice job Acura and its also built and designed in the US.

  Sharp, fast, Fun to Drive - 2005 Acura TL
  By Todd N - February 28 - 2:50 am

  Im 49---needed something sporty without spending a ton. Got it! Chose Black color--looks GREAT when clean! but you should plan on washing it every week with this color. I have had ZERO problems, now have 7000 miles on it! I really recommend this car to anyone. Navigational system great...would NEVER buy another car without it...

  Choose TL over Accord - 2005 Acura TL
  By nicktheschtick - February 27 - 9:36 pm

  Looked at TL and Accord. Dealers are giving away the Accord right now. I would have paid under invoice for the Accord, with TL you are lucky to pay $1000 over invoice. Accord was a great value, but did not have the pizazz of the TL. I was still willing to pay the extra $$. Would recommend getting Navigation, integration is extremely functional. Took advantage of Acura 2.9% financing.

  It just makes sense in every way..... - 2005 Acura TL
  By deusexmaxima - February 24 - 3:20 pm

  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!

  Power to Please - 2005 Acura TL
  By Doc - February 22 - 1:53 pm

  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
  By rich - February 4 - 9:36 am

  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!

  Lot of car for the money - 2005 Acura TL
  By Nick Clifford - January 3 - 6:50 am

  With 195,000 on my 95 Accord it was time for a new car; my first thoughts were to buy a used 5 series but after extensive research found out BMWs cost a fortune to maintain. Ive been spoiled by Honda. Prior to my Accord I owned an 85 Prelude with 220,000 + miles .. original gear box and engine. Buying a TL is easy really, there is nothing that comes close to value for money. If these cars are as reliable as previous models long term ownership should be a dream too. No tune up until 105,000 !! Compare that with BMWs ... only problem so far is rattle from passenger window which surprised me ...wasnt expecting this from Honda. Ride is firm which I like but others used to Lexus may not ..?
