2012 Acura TL SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Advance Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
I owned 2008 TL-S and the new car is a substantial improvement over previous model.
Could use a more adjustable positions for driver seat as an extra option(I would buy it) - 18 ways as Lexus.
Steering wheel adjustments should be automated and should be part of the driver memory positions.
Also, the leather on the steering wheel is horrible - it feels dry and does not offer comfortable … grip - I think it is even dangerous, especially if your hands are dry.
I had to get wood grain option.
I missed having two front compartments from my old TL-S.
Otherwise it is an excellent car and a joy to drive.
Good job Acura engineers - very competitive car.
Great bang for your buck!

2012 Acura TL SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Advance Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
Had a 2009 Lexus IS350, and was considering replacing it with either the new GS, the BMW 328i, or the Acura.
The GS is a great car, but I wasn't crazy about the interior layout or the wacky joystick and busy infotainment system.
The BMW was too pricey after optioning it well.
Which brings me to the Acura.
A great all around car with loads of refinement and plenty of technology and … features for the money.
I actually picked the AWD version because I love the standard wheels and the interior upgrades of the car.
The car is so sexy with Crystal Black Pearl exterior and Umber leather interior, I really lucked up to snatch the car from the dealer a day after it arrived on the lot!
GREAT CAR, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE!!!

2012 Acura TL SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Advance Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
I traded in my 2008 Range Rover Supercharged for this car and it drives just as good if not better than the Range. Also has better electronic features, reliability, and cost a third of the price. Overall just a good quality car very happy with it!!!!
P.S the AWD handled better than any other i have driving and i also drove a Subaru and an infiniti in the past
