My TL ws purchased as a gift from my husband. I had always wanted a luxury car, after driving the acura rsx type S, I feel in love with the dependability of Acura. The TL is a joy to drive.
Favorite Features
Heated seats.. Blue tooth.. bump shift.body style. interior is roomie performance is excellent. Controls on dash are not over done ..a/c stero Ect Back seat is roomie . Use of blue lights is an added touch , instead of white.
Suggested Improvements
Only problems I have found with my 06 TL is as follows. the Material used on the dash , turns ashy over time,becomes so aparent you can see the square where the passanger air bag is. Only fix is to condition the surface with a honda product.Cabin noise needs to be improved for quiet

Review
Three things seem to stick out from others' reviews at least the poor ones: interior rattling, poor fuel economy and torque steer. I live in El Paso with some rough roads and have no interior rattling at all. As far as the torque steer it is very evident with this vehicle and Acura should look towards a rear wheel drive (standard) and an optional AWD version in the coming years. Fuel economy is more of the driver as the model I have meets and exceeds the posted mileage. Something I have found is the ride height could be shortened a bit (possibly an inch) to improve performance (handling). I enjoy this vehicle very much and it is my daily driver now.
Favorite Features
Transmission shifts smoothly and I love the interior design of the vehicle. I opted for the carbon fiber trim. Navigation system is wonderful as well.
Suggested Improvements
Lowered ride height (A Spec I think addresses this), rear wheel drive or AWD.

Review
I bought my TL after 10 years of driving the Denali. I thought it would take a while to get used to sitting down low but after driving for one week I knew I'd made the right choice. It is so much fun to drive and the gas mileage is awesome. I get 34 on the highway. The luxury inside the car is awesome as well. The a/c dials down to 58 degrees and in this hot Texas weather it is awesome! I looked at a lot of cars and this car for the money couldn't be beaten. I got the 18" chrome wheels, wood trim inside and some extra body moldings outside and I get so many compliments! My girlfriend has a BMW 550 and she is just smitten with my TL.
Favorite Features
Navigation system and the handsfree bluetooth connection are so easy to use that you do actually use them. The Nav has lots of fun options.
Suggested Improvements
A feature like on-star would be great. Also would like to see what song/artist is playing on FM like they do on XM. It would be nice for the passenger seat to have all of the power adjustments as driver.

Review
This is my third Acura, I continue to purchase Acura's because of the quality and value concept. The service departments have always been great, free loaner cars, car always washed after an oil change etc.
Favorite Features
Navi., lumbar adjustment on drivers seat, blue tooth phone and exterior and interior design.
Suggested Improvements
outside running lights and they could use the same Navi system that they put in the RL Model. This system advises you of traffic conditions where the currrent TL system does not.

Review
This is my third Acura, and is just what I expected ..Quality & Value for the money. It has all the toys that I need and then some. Sticker price not includeing taxes and license fees $35,325.00 and my out the door price was $34,395.16. This included mud guards, body side molding, tinted windows and the Navi.
Favorite Features
voice activation of the blue tooth phone and navigation system. I also love the exterior and interior design, a good bang for the $$$ compared to competition where anything and everything are an extra fee.
Suggested Improvements
daytime running lights, Acura is behind the times with this one.

Review
The Acura TL has got to be one of the premiere vehicles to drive for under $35,000. The interior is comfortable and excellently designed. The gauges, radio, and navigation are easy to read and use. I get outstanding gas mileage (from 26-33 mpg highway). The handling is crisp and the acceleration is perfect. The AC takes a while to get the car cool.
Favorite Features
Navigation, XM radio, and Bluetooth.
Suggested Improvements
Auto-Sensing headlights, turn signal indicators in side mirrors, AC that actually blows cool air right away, heat that warms car before 25 minutes.

Really nice car,but they forgot to include any kind of ride, took a 7 hour trip and thought I had ridden in an 18 wheeler, rough ride, not comfortable at all. My behind was sore after the trip, you can feel the slightest bump like they forgot springs or something !!
Favorite Features
Nav system is very good

Review
What I wanted was a sporty car. I needed SOME utility, not just a two seater with loads of power. I also wanted to have some quality and a few bells and whistles. Boy does this car deliver! It looks regal with a touch of attitude. Step inside it and the leather brings a smile to my face. There is plenty of room without feeling crammed, and it isn't huge. Suspension is somewhat tight, but not stiff allowing a comfortable suspension ride and perform well on fast cornering or take offs if I choose. The stereo system is sweet and I love the steering controls. Now the downsides - if you really call it that. Gas mileage isn't the greatest, and there is a learning curve on the navigation.
Favorite Features
Overall interior quality, zippiness, sporty look, blue lighted dash, motorized sunroof, voice activated bluetooth phone integration, heated seats for winter, nice bright headlights (I can see!). Music selections between DVD, FM, AM, and XM radio are plenty of options and it sounds great.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage - run on 3 or 4 cylinders during low speeds/idle driving to improve gas mileage (Jetta has this I think). Navigation GUI interface could be improved for usability - i.e. when I'm in a city looking for restarant, should narrow search to restaraunts within the same city, not everywhere.
