  • You need to test drive this one!! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I test drove several vehicles prior to testing the 05 TL. the 05 TL is absolutely FUN to drive! Outstanding power, great handling, and surprising (to me) interior comfort. I am really enjoying the new ride!! Could use more trunk space, but theres enough to make do. Do yourself a favor and test drive a TL before you buy anything else.

    This be beautiful auto is very well designed in side and out. The fact that the car has so many safety features in comforting to know when driveing in heavy traffic. The blue tooth handsfree feature is very useful. Overall build quality is excellent. I would surely buy another one.

  • Two thumbs up - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I have owned my new 05 Non-nav white diamond pearl TL for one week. This is my fourth Acura and it has lived up to my expectations, especially for the money. The ride is tight with a European feel handling rough pavement well. Power is great launching into traffic with ease. There is some oversteer, however, it is acceptable considering 270 hp are going to a single front tire. Overall craftsmanship is excellent with fit and trim tight. I am 62 and have plenty of head/leg room up front, the rear seats are tight but tolerable for short trips. The Digital Dolby 5.1 surround sound stereo is awsome. I also had the rear deck spoiler installed which enhances the back view. Would buy again.

  • Best Car I have Owned - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I waited over a year to buy the TL as I avoid 1st year redesigns. No car is perfect, but the TL is the best car I have ever owned. I have always bought fully optioned cars, but the TLs extensive features overwhelmed me. I still do not make use of all of the features. Admittedly, I have spent hours in the garage learning my TL, as well as admiring the wonderful stereo. By the critics, this is not the best handling in its class (being FWD), but the TL far exceeds my driving characteristics. Acura has done an amazing job of balance here with performance, features, power, relative efficiency and Ultra Low Emmision Vehicle (ULEV) and all for an unmatchable price.

    The is an awesome car! I enjoy everything about it, especially the navigation (state of the art), satellite radio systems, exterior and interior style and performance.

  • Best value for the money! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Recently upgraded from an 04 TSX to get a larger car with more room. Handles and accelerates excellent. We have no regrets. When compared to other vehicles in its class, you cant beat the value when it comes to standard features and engine size. Comparable vehicles would cost you in high 40K range.

  • great for the money - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL is a good looking, easy to drive car which provides a lot of amenities for the money. The audio system is particularly impressive and the interior is well laid out and high quality. The ride is a bit stiffer than I was use to having driven a Lexus ES previously.Exterior styling is eye catching. I just really enjoy driving this car!

  • A higher form of performance - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    We have had the TL for almost a year by this summer and we havnt had one problem yet. The best part about it is its sporty, looks like its worth 40 grand but your only paying a little over 30. Awesome performace and VTEC (variable valve timing in the engine) gives you excellent gas mileage. This car is just about perfect and the best car we have ever owned, we may never buy another car besides and Acura ever again.

  • Fun and Flaws - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I have owned the car for 7 months. It offers a poweful driving feel, easy to maneuver in small and tight traffic situations and is quite stylish on the outside and the inside. Seats are comfortable and the heated seat feature for the 2005 model is nice on cold winter mornings and nights. Great acceleration and brakes provide security.

  • The best car Ive ever driven!!! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive got to tell you that cars typically do not excite me, Ive had dozens of new company cars all my life... but this one is different. The TL makes me want to drive, it begs to be thrown into turns, it pleads for you to pass slower traffic, it demands you go buy 70s Rock DVD-Audio discs and play them very loud. And yet it does all this while maintaining the image a 47-year old like me needs to portray. If I had to sum up the driving experience in 3 words it would be exhilarating, confident and fun. Go buy this car... you wont be disappointed.
