  Sweet Car! - 2005 Acura TL

  Best looking model in the Honda/Acura lineup. The 6 sp is a blast to drive and much more exciting than automatic. Wonderful stereo and DVD sound. This car is very refined, balanced in all aspects. Compares to cars $10k more in price.

  Amazing car for the money. Very happy with everything but a few quality issues with the interior. Love the looks inside and out. Fun to drive! Looked at ES, IS, A4, TSX, Camry, Accord. TL has it all and more. Dont buy a ~33K car without looking at this one.

  awesome!!!! - 2005 Acura TL
  By moneyfool - August 11 - 11:30 pm

  migrated from honda to acura and this is awesome. all the features are good. nav is amazing and controls are all within easy reach. leg room for the rear seats is a little tight for tall people. i could never get the dvd audio to work on the systems. rear seats do not fold.

  Great Value - 2005 Acura TL
  By Rob R - August 5 - 11:26 am

  Strengths: Fantastic sound system; smooth, powerful engine; sharp, short- throw manual transmission; perfect driving position; top-notch safety equipment; perfect build quality; enjoyable dealership experience; tons of car for the money. Weaknesses: Manual transmission- equipped cars hard to come by; OK, there is also a little torque steer.

  2005 TL NAVI 6 SPEED - 2005 Acura TL
  By ALI - August 1 - 9:56 am

  I love the Acura TL. For the money you cannot beat it. It is a very smooth operator, a little stiff on the ride; it might be the 17" wheels. I guess my TL will be a little stiffer because I will be putting 19" shoes on it soon. I like everything about the exterior styling. The interior of the car is above average to me. A lot of the car is voice activated. XM radio is ok, I wish I could hook up my MP3 player, nice 6 disc CD player, the audio system is 5.1 surround sound, nice highs with a powerful sub. The navi is to sweat, and I hope you already have a Bluetooth phone. I use my Nokia 6620, nice, paired up on first try. I have already used the heated mirrors and seats.

  Awesome design bad build quality - 2005 Acura TL
  By ak2001 - July 14 - 12:26 am

  This car is a rattle box. I love it when I look at it, but when it comes to driving, you hear rattle noise coming from everywhere. At 4000 miles, Navigation, airbag and door frame trims replaced. The footprint of airbag showed up on the dashboard. Japanese designed an awesome car but executives chose the cheapest suppliers for parts in US or where ever parts come from. It is a fantastic looking car, especially with 18 inch graphite color Acura rims, it is a shame that it was so cheaply built.

  TL has value, aesthetics, refinement - 2005 Acura TL
  By Craig - July 11 - 8:06 am

  I tested BMW 3 (pre 5/05), Saab 3 and 5, Infi G35X, and Lexus ES. To my ears the Acura TL engine was the most musical up and down the tach, and the automatic with sequential shift feature is very smooth and entertaining (and even practical when slower speeds and descents must be controlled). Suspension and brakes inspire confidence. What sold me on the car was the well-designed interior, the look and feel of the perforated leather seats, which are firm yet plush. For a midsize car, this has plenty of room on the inside for driver and passengers.

  Still has some serious shortcomings - 2005 Acura TL
  By Dave - July 10 - 7:43 am

  Although the car has a great engine and sound system it does have some serious shortcomings.... there are many rattles and the tires still are not fixed like Honda has told the dealers.
