  Overrated - 2005 Acura TL
  By Mike Ryan - October 15 - 8:42 am

  We have owned 3 Acuras all purchased new. We will not be purchasing a fourth. Tires on TL wore out after 24,000 miles. Rust on brakes had to be scraped after less than 18,000 miles, not covered by warranty. Passenger side window opens but will not always close. Acura Service tells us it will be $545 to fix. Window service is outside warranty period. There has been no damage to the vehicle that would cause the window malfunction. This is not what you would expect from a company that prides itself in building quality products.

  GREAT CAR - 2005 Acura TL
  By JIM - October 12 - 4:06 pm

  This is the best TL Acura has built. This car is fun to drive, gets good gas mileage. All the extras are included in the price except the nag system. Great job Acura. You have a winner.

  TL Funny to drive...some quirks! - 2005 Acura TL
  By RL22 - October 12 - 3:17 pm

  I bought this car used...A lease turn-in. I have loved this car from the get go. I am in my mid-late 30s and it fits me like a "T". Fast, stylist and has all the amenities that I would use (wish but dont have nav). I think the car is quiet but I would agree about the some rattles. I have tried to find most and put an end to them which I have except for a couple which would entail a lot of work. I had to put new brakes on it (because it was a lease turn-in with 36M miles)and I have put about 15000 on it in 7 months. Have done nothing else with it...I owned a 2004 Accord that I put 140M on. Honda/Acura make great cars...I am looking into a used MDX for the wife.

  The best used car...period. - 2005 Acura TL
  By That Guy - September 16 - 9:11 pm

  Been driving my 2005 TL for a few months now and I am convinced that this is the best car I have ever owned. The exterior is slick and sporty. Interior is clean and classy. Love the leather seats. My TL came with a sport package that included factory 18" wheels and a factory body kit. It was love at first sight. Im up to about 71K miles now and its still running strong. This car is definitely a keeper.

  TL vs BMW3 - 2005 Acura TL
  By Cooper - August 27 - 6:40 am

  Not as agile as a BMW 3 series but very powerful. The TL has many more standard features than a BMW 3 at a much lower price point. While not as much fun to drive as the 3 series, it offers a better value. The interior is nothing short of outstanding and is extremely comfortable. A really excellent car.

  Not what it is cracked up to be! - 2005 Acura TL
  By jamrock66 - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Just bought the 2005 TL. Nice interior. Loaded with gadgets. The truth of the matter is...not impressed. I have only driven the car for 700 miles thus far, but have already formulated several strong opinions. Here are the facts. Averaging 23 MPG. Stereo system not as impressive as my previous Infiniti I30t. Voice command rarely responds appropriately (maybe I have an accent). Paint job appears flawed (Black car). Seats not as comfortable as most competing cars. In a nutshell, if given the opportunity to buy again, I would go with a Infiniti G35 in a heartbeat. Will update several months later.

  Luxury + Peformance = TL - 2005 Acura TL
  By EverydayDriver - July 31 - 2:50 pm

  Picked up a pre-owned black Acura TL about 4 months ago. I love this car. One of the best cars Ive ever owned. My TL came with an OEM body kit and 18" A-spec wheels, looks very clean and aggressive. Interior is nice and comfy. Nice aluminum and wood trim. Big touch-screen navigation is very helpful but software seems dated compared to my wifes Benz navigation. The car picks up pretty quick on the freeway. Ill be going 80 but it feels like Im going 60. It does drink gas like crazy though. $40 of gas will last about 260 miles only. This is an overall GREAT car. You will not be disappointed.

  The Great Surprise - 2005 Acura TL
  By bblack - July 17 - 5:00 am

  For the price I paid for this car with automatic transmission and navigation package, its been a perfect combination of sporty performance, comfort and reliability. The sound system is absolutely first rate and the vehicle multi-information display is superb. So far this has been a GEM of a car.
