  • Great car as expected. - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    I have owned several new BMWs which turned out to be not so reliable. This car has more features, horsepower, and realiabilty than BMW. Way to go Acura, you have gained a loyal follower.

  • Best $34,000 you can spend - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL provides you with a quiet interior, supportive seats and decent handling. My last car was a sports sedan, so I am used to tighter cornering than the TL allows for. Great sound system; steering wheel controls a little inconvenient-cant switch CDs in multidisk player without removing hands from wheel. Handles well in the snow with stock tires. Dual climate control adjusts quickly, heated seats heat quickly. Tons of features packed into this car. Very sophisticated dash with combo of metal, wood and black trim. Ample room for adults in the back seat. Inconvenient that the rear seat does not fold down. Also, poor turning radius-its easier to back this car in to parking spots. Highly recommended!

  • My best Acura purchase to date - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    fast, quiet, fun to drive. Seats are so comfortable great lateral sapport. Black is hard to keep clean but gives the car a sporty presence deserving of itself. Love the look of this car from every angle. The car has a mean front nose with squinting headlights. The rear quarter of the car has a very unique door to c pillar design.

    Best car in its class. At or near the top in the luxury sedan group regarding performance, sportiness, reliability, economy and overall quality. This car grades an A- in nearly all respects, and it will be tough to beat for a few years as long as Acura remains competitive on price.

  • 2005 Anthracite Manual - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Have only 3,000 miles or less on this car so far. Great car to drive. Manual transmission is a dream. Acceleration is great. Only problem found so far is that the seat heaters apparently draw power even when the car is switched off. Would seem to be a design flaw if thats the case. Recently came back from a 10-day vacation to find the battery deader than a doornail. Apparently left one of the seat heaters on while out of town. Gave us a chance to try out Acuras roadside assistance program. It was an OK experience. Had a slight problem getting the radio to accept the security code but OK now. Navigation system is great even if it does suggest an unneeded U-turn occasionally.

  • Love it but rattles drive me nuts - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had my TL for 16 months now and enjoy the car, except for all the ratles. I had a 2000 BMW 323i before my TL and it never had rattles. I have rattles in my driver side door, in the sun visors, and around the moon roof. I didnt expect that from Acura. On the plus side the car is very well equipped for the money. The engine is strong and smooth and the handling is tight for a front wheel drive.

  • Very Good Deal For The Money - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    You get a lot of useful things in the Acura TL that all come standard that would normally be extra on competitor models. Very good power and control in everday driving, although on snow or slick surfaces the car lacks control at times. Navigation System is superb, as well as the overall look of the interior. Exterior is very smooth too. Interior quality has been questionable as Ive had quite a handful of rattles, and part of the headline covering the rear center brake light is coming off. Seat leather is so/so in quality, although comfort is very supportive in the front seats, but real not so much especially on long trips. Although, You really do get a lot from this vehicle from you money.

  • Excellent Car - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    A very powerful, fun car to drive. Loaded with extras.

  • Best car Ive ever owned - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This car has a TON of standard features. Quality is first rate. Looks awesome everytime I park it and look back. By far, its the best car Ive ever known. Compared to the G35 coupe, its a little slower and doesnt shift as smooth, but thats about it. Other than that, this car is 10 times better than a G35 coupe, in my opinion. The quality, radio, seat memory, tilting mirrors, and financing are the top reasons why I got this car over the G35. Im telling you, this car is AWESOME!
