  • A Fine Automobile - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The car is a head turner. Excellent styling, quality and performance. Just fun to drive. I got the blue/q best looking of all color combos except black/black.

  • Worth every penny - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Love driving this car! Wasnt sure about moving to FWD after having a RWD BMW, but the transition was easier than expected. Still, make no mistake - there is a difference. Highway gas mileage is awsome (30-33 mpg), but city could use some improvement (20-22). Interior design is awesome with large, well-placed buttons. The navigation system blows away BMWs, and really adds to the functionality of the radio.

  • Overall Satisfied - 2005 Acura TL

    This car has it all for the price. It was nice to see that Consumer Reports has this car TOP PICK two years in a row. Navigation easy and reliable compaired to other automakers.

  • Fun to drive and turns heads - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This is probably the most fun car that I have ever owned. I just wish I had waited to get a 6 speed manual with navigation. I got the automatic, which is fine, but the manual seems so much faster.

  • 270 Horsepower! - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    What I love most about this car is that from the outside you would never imagine this car had so many toys, or could do so many things. The navigation system has so many features including reverse phone number look- up, displays common places such as post office, gas stations, banks, has a calculator, calandar, etc. and is so easy to understand. At first I bought Navi for "looks" but I use it all the time. I also purchased XM radio which I use daily and when driving out of town. No need to buy any more CDs. This vehicle looks sharp on the inside and out. Not to mention all the power underneath the hood.

    Sporty and really fun to drive. Acceleration is surprising. 0 to 60 in nothing flat. Very powerful little car. Gives you a great feel for the road.

  • First Import Ever Owned - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I purchased my first import ever after driving nothing but G.M for 35 years. The Acura TL has the style and performance that puts G.M to shame. The vehicle is roomy and has outstanding performance.....Good job on the production of this one boys !!!!!!

  • Tires are a Problem - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The Turanza EL42 tires are significantly sub-standard in my experience. At 15k, tires were bald. Dealership kindly replaced tires. However, subsequently the vehicle had vibrations. The Service Department indicated the vibrations were caused by the new tires. Others on Tirerack.com have indicated the tires have flat spots (causes vibrations), poor handling in snow or rain and premature tread wear. Dealership and Customer Service have not offered any solutions other than for me to accept the vibrations as a character of the car. I am still in disbelief that Honda/Acura finds this acceptable.
