  118000 MILES - 2005 Acura TL
  By Nobama - April 17 - 8:26 am

  Mpg hwy averages 30. City averages 26. Replaced brake pads only once at 110,00 miles. Pads still had 50% thickness from new. Other than oil and tires thats it. May replace spark plugs soon... nah its still running great. Tires are problematic. Came with Turanzas, got 70,000 on those but the tires were merely ok. Put Pilots on but only got about 35000 on those. Now have AMERICAN MADE goodyear eagle gt2 with the funky looking tread. These tires stick well but ride a bit more harshly than the others and I think one is slightly out of round. I can live with it. But theyre cheap. Got 380000 out of my last Maxima, will see if 400,000 can be hit with the TL.

  Acura TL - 2005 Acura TL
  By James S. West - April 10 - 4:40 am

  Having owned a Lexus for 6 years, I wanted the same type of build and performance quality I was used to. This model Acura had several features I liked better than the competition. After 10,000 miles, I know I made the right decision. I cant wait to get in it every morning! The quality impresses everyone that rides in it.

  TL Baby - 2005 Acura TL
  By Brettski - March 29 - 7:50 am

  Just plain awesome. Every electronic feature you could ever need. Very fast with tons of "pick up". 270 horses is more than enough, trust me. Well built and a ton of fun to drive.

  Best FWD sport sedan out there! - 2005 Acura TL
  By John V. - March 19 - 8:34 pm

  And its almost the best 30-40k sport sedan period. Being from the Midwest, and only having one car, RWD wasnt an option since we get something called snow which doesnt agree with RWD cars too well. Thus, I settled on the TL, and dont think I would have been happier w/ any other car. Acceleration is very linear, and the TL is extremely stable at 80 mph, and fairly quite at such speeds, which could be a dangerous combination. Torque steer is almost never an issue. Great sound system, excellent interior amenities, exceptional fuel economy (Ive gotten 33 on some highway jaunts, although around town can be disappointing). If only the 09 TL looked as suave, Id get that instead of an 08 TypeS

  My 4th Acura (2nd TL) - 2005 Acura TL
  By Ken in LA - February 3 - 10:33 pm

  Im an Acura guy, no doubt about it. My last car was a 2002 TL Type S. What a car!! I was nervous changing to the 2005 TL, thinking there was no way to match up. Ive been pleasantly surprised. The 2005 is a bit tighter on the road, and the new Blue Tooth, voice activated NAV features are great!! If you want a FUN car to drive, one thats reliable, one that will have people looking your way, and one thats still very practical (trunk space, 4 adult seating, decent mileage), go with the TL.

  Excellent Overall Package - 2005 Acura TL
  By Illinois Flatlander - January 17 - 12:38 am

  I have had this car for 3 1/2 problem free years and believe that it is a great value for its price. I get 20 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway which is very acceptable for a car with this size engine and its performance. The experience with the dealership in regards to service has been better than it has been with any other brand vehicle I had in the past.

  2005 TL Nice Ride - 2005 Acura TL
  By V G Miami - December 5 - 10:56 am

  Nice, reliable car. Great lines. Disappointed in the quality of the leather seats. They are showing signs of wear already, 3 months. Got a great price.

  TL vs G35x - 2005 Acura TL
  By Tom - November 25 - 1:30 am

  The TL is overall a wonderful car. I picked it over a BMW 330, Audi A4, Cadillac CTS and Infinity G35x. As much as I loved the G35xs AWD and overall performance I could not believe the poorly laid out and cheap looking interior in the G35x. The TL offers decent performance with understated styling and a great interior at a comparative bargin price. The sound system is second to none, but DVD audio content is very limited. The dealer has been great and even installed the optional wheels and tires at a very nominal charge. The car is "rock solid."

  GREAT - 2005 Acura TL
  By Edwin Lappi - October 30 - 12:06 am

  This car handles and drives like a sport car. The interior room is ample for a tall person. The car looks like a streamline machine, and in black, it looks menecing on the highway.
