Overview & Reviews

Other than a new tire-pressure monitor and altered engine management (for reduced torque steer), the Acura TL is mechanically unchanged for 2006. As with all 2006 Acura cars, there is a longer powertrain warranty for the TL. It now provides six years/70,000 miles of protection. New SAE testing procedures have dropped the TL's horsepower rating from 270 to 258.

• Luxurious interior, long list of standard equipment, powerful V6 engine, slick-shifting six-speed manual, pleasant blend of ride comfort and fun, superb sound system.

  All around winner - 2006 Acura TL
  By Roy - October 2 - 5:30 pm

  I have the 2006 TL as a company car and have over 30k miles on it so far, so I think I can give a pretty fair assessment. First, it has a lot more interior room than it looks. Plenty of room for 6 footers in the rear sets. Power and handling are great, as is the overall styling of the car. My one complaint is that the bluetooth phone interface picks up so much ambient noise that its almost unuseable. I think the mic needs to be closer to the driver. That would fix the problem. The seats are great, but the interior is not as quiet as a Lexus ES 330. The ride is a tad on the harsh side, but still quite good. And the NAV system is the best out there.

  Best car in its class - 2006 Acura TL
  By vince M - September 4 - 5:33 am

  Chose the 2006 TL after extensive research and after 1500 miles I think it,s a very good but not excellent car.Sure the look, the nav., the audio, are all very nice but the important issues are the dynamic and handling qualities.Here goes:It is fast,powerful,corners well when dry,shifts smoothly, and fun to drive.Now the negatives: Front wheels spin too easily on take off,torque steer is moderate,only fair in rain and snow,turn circle poor.

  Great Car, but a bit to to Improve - 2006 Acura TL
  By ATM - August 24 - 3:26 pm

  I really did my research before I purchased the TL. The Acura TL is the BEST combination of performance (2nd overall), design (1st), and value (1st). It has a sports suspencion so you will feel bumps, accelerates very quickly and has great balance around turns.

  Back to Acura - 2006 Acura TL
  By Fred - August 23 - 6:46 am

  Bought this car after much research on features and value compared to BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Infinity. Beautiful ride for the money with a comfortable interior. I get many compliments on the style and color (Royal Blue Pearl). So many features I am still learning.

  Acura TL - 2006 Acura TL
  By max33 - August 12 - 10:50 am

  This car rocks!! The stickshift is lots of fun, the brakes are awesome, all the toys that are standard make the car interesting and fun. I am amazed that Acura could build such an incredible car for such a good price. An equivalent BMW (5 series) would cost 20K more and the Lexus (250/350) is to small and doesnt come with nearly the amount of standard features. I use the car as a family sedan, which it has more than enough room for, but it drives and feels like a sports car. The NAV combined with XM is simply awesome.

  My New TL - 2006 Acura TL
  By MGySgt - July 13 - 5:20 am

  We just picked up our new TL after months of agonizing research. The car is everything we hoped it would be. I bought it for $100.00 over invoice at Criswell Acura in Annapolis, Maryland. Very professional (and amusing) staff. Car was well prepped and they explained everything to us. So well, we were even able to use the Navigation system on the first try.

  Did I jump the gun? - 2006 Acura TL
  By John - July 9 - 10:12 pm

  My car usage is about 75% city, 25% highway, so I was being realistic when I predicted my MPG. The Acura TL is projected to get 21/29, but so far Ive been getting a ridiculous 15.5 MPG, and needless to say, I am thoroughly disappointed. I was highly anticipating the relief in MPG, which was one of the deciding factors during my car-buying process, but 15.5 MPG is SUV territory. I feed my car the suggested 91 octane, I drive with a soft foot, and the A/C gets next to no use.

  Nothing else comes close. - 2006 Acura TL
  By ParallaX49 - June 20 - 6:53 pm

  After looking at every other car in this class, (Audi A4, BMW 3, Infiniti G35, Saab 9-3, Lexus ES and IS) nothing even came close to the feature content and performance of the TL. Everything either costs thousands more (the BMW and the Lexus cost over $50k for an entry-level car!) or didnt have good buld quality (Saab may have been ruined by GM.) The TL has attractive styling, plenty of electronic toys, excellent acceleration, and a firm but comfortabl ride. The TL is the best all-rounder on the market. I should know, I actually work for an Infiniti dealership.

  Love My Car!!!!!!!! - 2006 Acura TL
  By deedbxx - May 24 - 10:29 pm

  After reviewing the history and consumer reports on these cars I was sold before ever driving one. This car has more bells and whistles than you can imagine. Quick and sleek, plenty of power when you need it. This by far is the most awesome car I have ever owned or driven. Have had it a month and still get excited about driving it. You will love this car!!!!!!

  The best car ever - 2006 Acura TL
  By Torri - May 20 - 6:53 am

  I own a 2006 TL. I often just get in the car and ride because I love the feeling and the looks I get from others. I must say it is a real head turner. The voice activated navigation system is very easy to use, the blue- tooth technology is awesome. The only thing I am not impressed with is the 2 tone interior, besides that I have no complaints about my new purchase. I think Acura has definitely stepped up and can run with the best of them. It is well worth the money, you will not be disappointed.
