    Upper end sedan loaded with fun for less than a BMW or Mercedes. A must look for any buyer in this category.

  • TL The Best - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive owned Honda Accord Coupes for the past 6 years. Step up to the TL and what a difference. I cant wait to drive the car. The XM Radio is the best and the Bluetooth phone system is fanstatic. No complaints at all. I would buy another one tomorrow and probably would go for manual.

  • Best Bang for the Buck - 2005 Acura TL

    I shopped around a lot before I bought this car, and even considered waiting for the new BMW 3 series and IS 300 to come out. After test driving the car though I was sold. Its very quiet and has a composed ride. I was worried about it being front wheel drive, but unless you drive like Jeff Gordon on a Sunday afternoon, then it doesnt really matter. There is simply no other car out there that can match it feature for feature. Reliability and resale value of the Acura brand is also a big plus. Sure the BMW brand has big cache, but that can only take you so far. It is very comfortable on the freeways and it eats up miles without breaking a sweat. Handles well for FWD

    This is a beautiful car both inside and outside. It has excellent acceleration. It is very smooth and quiet at high speeds. However, the car does not feel stable in hard cornering. The workmanship on the headliner is very poor. Mine started to come apart after only 1500 miles. Was originally attached with double side sticky tape until the dealer installed screws to keep it from falling. Car wonders from left to right even on fairly level pavement. Dealer blames the problem on el42 tires. They changed to another set of el42 but the problem continued. The clutch took a little getting used to, initially. The top of the dash began to fade real bad. Originally, I thought it was dust but it isnt

  • Dont waste your money on the others - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    This was my first Acura. I had previously owned Toyata, and Nissans, as well as some other American Cars. The TL is by far one of the best built and fun cars to drive that Ive ever owned. Its nice to know that there is a company out there that pays attention to details The quality of this car just cant be beat. What an excellent combination of technology and comfort. The interior is layed out so ergonomically. The sound system is just incredible. The blue tooth compatible voice activated phone system is very useful. You dont have to spend 50-60k to get real quality!

  • 2005 ACURA REVIEW BY MIKE SCHWAB - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    GREAT VEHICLE WORKMANSHIP QUALITY INSIDE & AND OUTSIDE. ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING INTERIORS IN THE CAR INDUSTRY UNDER 60K. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SETS THE STANDARD FOR ALL OTHERS TO BE JUDGED.

  • Upgrade from older TL worth it - 2005 Acura TL
    By -

    Although the styling and ride took a while to brag about, owning the car for more than a month has definitely brought me around. The car is quick, quiet, handles like a go-cart, and has enough electronic goodies to please the biggest geeks. If you own a pre-2004 and are considering the 2005, you wont be disappointed.
