Overview & Reviews

After a three-year absence, the performance-oriented "Type-S" trim level returns. It features a 286-horsepower, 3.5-liter version of Acura's SOHC 32-valve VTEC-equipped V6, a sport-tuned suspension and Brembo high-performance front and rear disc brakes. The Type-S also gets a unique front fascia, quad tailpipes, specific 17-inch wheels and paddle shifters for the five-speed automatic transmission when that option is ordered. The regular TL continues forward with freshened exterior styling and a revised center stack and instrument panel. However the six-speed manual transmission and Brembo brakes are now restricted solely to the Type-S model.

• Roomy and well-appointed interior, excellent handling for a relatively large front-drive sedan, sweet-natured V6 engines matched to outstanding transmissions, fantastic sound system, top crash-test scores.

• Front-drive handling limitations are apparent when the car is driven aggressively, lack of low-end torque in some situations.

  Beauty Thats Only Skin Deep - 2007 Acura TL
  By joelsaxton - June 2 - 3:02 pm

  Aside from the nice appearance, this car has been a grave disappointment. I test drove the TL on a nice flat road. But in the real world, when I am accelerating over an uneven surface, the wobbliness of front wheel drive become painfully apparent, especially with 286HP. I have had persistent issues with cabin noise - there are constant creaks when going over bumpy roads - it makes the car sound cheap. I had a defective starter which needed replacement. The nav system is not very smart. The tranny had issues with the 3rd gear that needed fixing. Most importantly, the 3.5L engine is prone to pinging.

  Sporty Sedan - 2007 Acura TL
  By Ed - January 3 - 4:24 pm

  After test driving a number of sedans, I chose the TL over the Infiniti G35X. The TL is roomier and has a sporty ride with tight handling. (I loved the growling exhaust of the G35X but my wife thought it was too noisy. Oh well.) So far I havent experienced any rattling and cabin noise which is a common complaint. Im 63" and have trouble positioning the seat and steering wheel for optimal comfort. My hands and arms get sore on long trips. Im clearly biased toward the Acura. This is the third Acura Ive owned. I traded in a 1990 Legend. I hope to keep the 07 TL for many years as well.

  Love My TL-S - 2007 Acura TL
  By nomominivan - December 27 - 2:05 pm

  I got my TL Type S July 07. It has 3500 miles on it and love it. Its gorgeous! I am very comfortable in it, although I am not very big. My husband is not as comfortable but hes tall. I love the power and the handling that this car offers. Step on it and go! I like the feel of the road, and this car has that. My kids are comfortable in the back. The sound system is great. I love the back up camera & the ipod plug. I do have a rattle on the back trunk lid part where the speakers are. Will have them check it at my first service. I did have to replace one of the tires because I hit a pothole ($240). Tire guy told me the low profile tires are horrible. They look cool tho. So far very happy!

  2007 3.2 TL - 2007 Acura TL
  By Enthusiast - December 1 - 6:44 pm

  Bought this car because of its design and reliability. The second week I had ignition problem, which was fixed by the dealer. The car drives well and I feel very secure behind the wheel. But, the squeaks and the little noises drive me crazy. With every additional mile, the noises increase exponentially. The noise problem is present in every heavy car. I had a GS before, which was no stranger to the constant sounds but the noises are profoundly present in this car more than others. I would think again before buying this car again.

  Follow Up Review - 2007 Acura TL
  By Bryan - October 20 - 10:57 pm

  10,000 miles into my silver TL Type-S with 6 speed manual, and I figure I would give you all a follow-up. First, the bad: rattles in the door and steering column. Tsk, tsk in a near 40-grand sports sedan. Interior materials scratch real easily, and dashboard is starting to lose its color really quickly (from dark gray to milky gray). Torque-steer is getting old now. The good: this thing should be called a muscle-sedan instead of a sports sedan, because thats the demeanor it has. Big, mean looking, mean sounding, and fast. Handling is second only to BMW. Interior is very comfortable, and very spacious.

  I love Acuras - 2007 Acura TL
  By Patrea Pabst - August 17 - 3:19 pm

  I have been driving a 1999 Acura TL with 230,000 miles. Great car, reliable, high performance, comfortable. Went same place for a replacement (kids get old car, still running great). Wish it had darker interior, better rear visibility, more comfortable seat for shorter driver (53") and better gas mileage but cant fault anything else. Co-workers very envious. Love the sound system, navigation, maintenance features.

  Problems within 3 days - 2007 Acura TL
  By Shellbellfl1 - July 18 - 9:09 am

  Loved the car until the power steering pump had to be replaced after only 3 days! Car made loud rattling noise and had to be taken for service for the problem. Very disappointed and would not buy the car again.

  Truthful review. - 2007 Acura TL
  By ChrisM. - July 15 - 11:42 pm

  I love the car if youre looking for a quiet ride, this is not the car for you. Interior is poorly built, and there is much rattling. Outside drivers mirror bangs on something, center speaker rattles over bumps, dashboard (made of plastic) rattles over bumps, passengers headrest makes a sound like someone is chewing gum in your ear. Also, if you test drive the car, leave the window open and keep your ears keen to the metal banging that happens underneath the car when hitting bumps at over 30mph. My car suffers from this and the 2 TL loaners that ive received so far also did this. Annoying, but I was told its normal and not much can be done about it. Performance, design all good.

  Cool Looking but.... - 2007 Acura TL
  By ed batizu - July 3 - 3:35 pm

  Like the looks of the car and the nav features are great. The transmission is clunky (especially downshifting into 1st gear) and I was hoping that it would "break in" more. The seat is not as comfortable as my Volvo S60 but good leg and head room. Solidly constructed - brakes and handles well. Like the safety features. Nice car but will most likely go Infiniti or Lexus next time for the added comforts.
