  • MY second Acura TL - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my second Acura TL. I previously had a 2000 TL, which I absolutely loved. I had a really nice Volvo, but I preferred the Acura to Volvo because it was a bit more "young". The 2000 TL was a more comfortable car than the 2004, which is very sporty and quick, has an awesome radio with XM and 6 discs. The hands free phone is great. I also appreciate the fact that the safety ratings are good. My husband recently had it at 110 mph, I’m glad I wasnt in the car. It is truly an awesome vehicle and I am enjoying it.

  • Excellent Sport Luxury Sedan - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The 2005 Acura TL has exceeded my expectations. It has been defect free and gets reasonable gas mileage overall (26 mpg). The TL is really fun to drive even in the metro area I live in. I see no tire concerns cited by others (2004 model). Form and fit is outstanding. Easy access to internal controls on steering column and console. Sound system is first class and superior to other luxury sedans. Satellite radio is fabulous and strongly recommended. LED instrumentation outstanding day/night. The safety features were also a strong selling point. I have not wavered in my belief that this was the right car choice over the BMW 530i, Cadillac CTS, and Infiniti G35.

  • Love my TL - 2005 Acura TL

    I LOVE my TL. Best car I have owned. Its fast and very responsive. The interior is amazing and very user friendly. Acuras navigation is by far the best on the market hands down. I love XM radio and the surround sound 5.1 DVD audio system. Researching all the other cars in its class from BMW to Infiniti to Audi, The Acura TL is by far the most bang for the buck. If your looking into this car.....Get IT!!!

  • Always loved Acura - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Everything is awesome about this car. My favorite Acura out of the six I have so far owned in the past. The only complaint where those horrible Bridgestone Tires. Flat spots terrible vibration. Once replaced with Michelin Pilots driving the car was totally different and smooth and quiet no vibration or flat spots. I love the growl of my exhaust and enjoy my XM satelite Radio too. Blue tootrh is so cool and with the power and smoothness of the V6 I am happier there then in my sleepnumber bed. Get a TL you wont regret it.

  • Shop Till You Drop - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    As with most on this site, I compared the TL with everything else in its class and price range. The Acura TL offers more features for the price than any other vehicle in its class. Audi 2.0 was a close second, but Acura/Honda Lease and discount, mileage penalties and simplicity in packaging, better warranty won the day for the TL. Dealers were all over the place with their pricing. Went through a broker who found the best Fleet Manager in the area. Got $1500.00 more off their best promotion.

  • Love my TL, glad I waited for 2005 model - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I bought my TL in May of 2004, and have racked up 14000 miles since. It has been a pleaseure to own from day one. The Acura dealer buying experience was hassle free; by far the easiest buy I have ever had, very professional and low key. My car has the six speed which is tight, with short throws. I down shift from sixth to fifth to pass on the highway, and the car just rockets up. The ride is firm without being jouncy. As I live on a hill in a snowy climate, the front wheel drive is essential, and I routinely pass by my BMW & Mercedes owning neighbors who are struggling to keep their beasts on the road. All in all, a great value (a G35 with the same equipment was nearly $6000 more)!

    This car is such a pleasure to drive having a 99tl before I am very pleased with the vast technology and performance improvements. The only drawback was my dealer

  • Best Buy - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I bought an 05 TL after my previous car (98 Acura Integra) got stolen and stripped for parts. Was blessed with an opportunity for a long drive (>1000 miles in 5 days) and it was ear-to-ear smile. The navigation did a great job, XM was entertaining and the car seats held me without fatigue (Im 5 10" and 155 lbs.).

  • Best Car on the road!!! - 2005 Acura TL

    I used to drive the 3.2 TL-S which is a very nice car. The new TL is a totally different car in terms of comfort, safety, handling & toys. Big thumbs up!!!
