2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Have been a loyal Honda owner for over 7 years but wanted to move to something with some luxury and went to test drive a Acura TL. Found it to be a well-engineered vehicle will continue to purchase acura cars.

Favorite Features

Engine power with smooth shifting.

Suggested Improvements

Tire noise with bridgetones.

TL is an Excellent Car

Review

Hands down the most car for the money in this range. Fun to drive, fantastic design and terrific quality. Better than most more expensive cars in its class. My only complaint is that the door lock button doesn't go all the way into the door and is uncomfortable when I want to rest my arm on the door (such as with windows down, etc.). Sound system is excellent with HD surround sound, Bluetooth for phone is handy, and sportronic shifting makes driving fun again.

Favorite Features

Power, sportronic transmission.

Suggested Improvements

Make door lock button go completely down into door instead of sticking up when in "down/locked" position.

2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This car is great. Very quick, great handling. Very comfortable driver's seat. Great looking and great quality. I feel special when I drive it. I wish I knew that they were going to put the RL 3.5 in it. I would have waited 2 more months.

Favorite Features

Looks, power, handling, drivers seat, Nav, stereo, carbon fiber and aluminum look interior trim.

Suggested Improvements

Passenger should have 8 way power. Camera for reverse, all wheel drive, bigger subwoofer with more watts.

Nice car

Review

Very good car. Interior design is very nice. Price of the vehicle cannot be beat considering the options that you get. Navigation system is second to none. I have read that other owners got Bridgestone tires on their TL, mine came with nice Michelins. I have had no issues so far. The vehicle runs on 87 - it's recommended that you put premium in but I do not and it runs fine.

Favorite Features

Interior trim, Navi system.

Suggested Improvements

Clutch is too short.

Awesome Acura TL!

Review

I've always had V6 Honda Accords, loved them all, and was ready to buy a 2006 but couldn't find a good color combination. Moved to the Acura TL based on reputation, looks, and color combinations and I'm so not sorry! It is a hot car - it looks good, has all the creature comforts, is great to drive, has more speed than I'll ever need (but love it!), and it is incredibly sturdy and safe. This car is everything awesome about an Accord, and so much more! The only sad thing is that the surround-sound stereo doesn't have much chance to perform because the music industry hasn't produced many surround-sound cds! I'd definitely recommend this car for every reason.

Favorite Features

Power, surround-sound, bluetooth capability, dual heat/air, and heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

The front end of the car could be a bit sharper - the back end is gorgeous! The front is nice, but needs a little edge. Buying the highest octane gas has proved a bit expensive in these times - you should know that's required.

Love My TL

2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This is my 3rd Acura. Had an 03 TL, and 04 TSX. For overall performance including power as a big factor for me, the new TL gets my nod. I'm a sucker for horsepower though. Love the fit and finish, smooth delivery of power, and well-engineered handling. A quiet cabin allows for a high-end listening experience with well-mixed DTS type DVDAs . Be careful what you buy, some of these high end discs sound no better than your average CD in the TL. Some reviewers have complained about a lack of bass. It is available, you just need to give the TL the proper source material. The TL is money well spent.

Favorite Features

Smooth powerful drivetrain. Quiet drive, but motor gives great sound when pushed into higher revs. Love the audio. Comfortable seats and interior. Love the external design. Its really a gorgeous car.

Suggested Improvements

AWD option. Torque in the 300ft/lb range and available at lower RPMs. External mirrors with signals. Auto-on headlights. As you can see, these are all just minor improvements. This is a car that will certainly give you pride of ownership.

2006 acura TL

2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I expected it to be quick and comfortable. It turned out to be both. I recently made a 2500 mile trip and it was excellent. I do not believe the 33 mpg listed by the onboard computer and premium fuel was a cost factor. I recommend it highly.

Favorite Features

It has all the features I could ever need. My favorite would be the seats. Heated and adjustable. On long trip very pleasant.

Suggested Improvements

All wheel drive option would be good.

1 Year Review

2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Review

After owning only European cars for the past 10 years (Audi, BMW, MB) I decided to give the Acura TL a chance. Although I was impressed by the lower cost, I've realized that the extra cost goes into the details. After about a year of ownership, I've noticed that the TL just can't match the attention to detail, high-speed performance, and material quality of German competitors (e.g., interior materials, ambient lighting inside, intelligent design in small details, etc.) I think every manfacturer has a competency, and the TL is relatively comfortable, luxurious, and performs relatively well, but doesn't excel like those offered by Euro car makers.

Favorite Features

Value, fuel economy.

Suggested Improvements

Attention to detail in the interior, higher quality leather/wood/materials (e.g., use actual metal instead of look-a-like plastic), use more original styling.

Just purchased this for my wife. This is best car that we have ever owned. Great ride, very smooth. Excellent acceleration. Nothing about this car that we do not like. Look forward to many years of comfortable safe driving.

Grinning from ear to ear

2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Test drove many competitors and the winner was the TL. Great handling for fwd (which I want for traction in the north country) and you do not notice the torque steer unless the vehicle is taken to the limits, which few people do on a regular basis. Everything is standard on the TL. This vehicle is really fun to drive. The only problem I have is trying to get my wife out of the driver’s seat.

Favorite Features

Handling and fit and finish is excellent. Sound system is truly premium, especially with dvd audio. Put your foot to the floor and the v-tec really clicks in.

Suggested Improvements

Would like to see 6 speed auto, pass side with 8-way power seat and awd option.
