Acura TL vs. Infiniti G37
carreview123, Basking Ridge, NJ, 07/12/2012
2012 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I drove both the Acura TL and the Infiniti G37x.
Infiniti:
extremely fast (almost too fast) with solid handling.
Interior is nice, but seemed a little on the cheap side.
Leather was nice, but I heard a few squeaks during my overnight test drive.
I am 6'1" and 250lbs (wide shoulders).
I was somewhat comfortable in the G37 but had the driver seat all of the way back and don't know how … comfortable I would be after a 2 hour drive.
Backseat was tight.
Acura TL:
Almost as fast as the G37 but not as fast (still PLENTY of power!)
Interior was much more comfortable.
Handling was just as solid as G37.
Interior quality is nicer then Infiniti.
Pricing = same exact monthly payment

2012 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Bought this car from a nj dealership in aug.2015. Traded in my truck and just needed something to get me from point A to B. Quite frankly, this car rocks!!! I took this car on the highway--
I-80 North..it took my breath away when it hits the corners. The AWD drive is just unbelievably impressive, even at high speeds. The seats hugs every inch of your body, keeping you sucked in as the … car hits high speeds in twist and turns. Not muscle car status, BUT it delivers a wallop of a ride. Good job Acura. The voice recognition and Bluetooth are very responsive, in fact the entire tech setup is ergonomically satisfying.
Only objection: TOO COMFORTABLE.
Great Car

2012 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Had to sell my new 2015 Honda Accord. Did not like the driver seating ergonomics. They did not reveal the issues during the test drive.
Went with this used TL instead. Wow. What a car. Very comfortable. I can actually see the gauges instead of the steering wheel nearly completely blocking them. Very quick. I really have to watch the speed. Quiet. Quiet interior with respect to … tire and wind noise. Great package. The low speed shifts are a little wonky, but that is my only complaint.
Rock Solid Sedan

2012 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I started leasing my TL and at the end of 3 years purchased because I liked the car so much. It has been extremely reliable. For $36,000 this is a great car. My only regret is I didn't step up for the technology package.
