TL-S Ride in LA

The value of the TL-S is unparalleled. As a rocket scientist, I can say that this vehicle is top notch technically and creature comfort- wise, dollar for dollar. I never drempt of spending more than $25k on a depreciating asset, but only this car convinced me otherwise. The acceleration is superb in sportshift or auto. It is comfortable for the largest of my guests. Average 20mpg in LA traffic. 5k miles so far. Will take on a roadtrip soon.

Leased the car in February and have just over 4000 miles. Car is fun to drive does everything well. Plenty of power, looks grow on you and is a solid all around car. Plenty of punch for the price.

If i was aMecahnical man then i would have married this car and would has done my best to produce babies. With no second thought this was my best decesion ever. This car more relible then any girl friend i eve had and more trustworthy too. I love the handling and speed. Believe or not i drove this flying souceser at the speed 120mph while driving on Highway 5. This is till now the best sedan for the price. If you are in the market for new Toyota Camery XLE of Infinity I35 or g series with all the option go for this and you will be more happy. This is luxury for free. Believe me this is right.

Overpriced HONDA

This car is a pony in a horserace. The advertised 260hp does not appear unless you floor the gas pedel. There is little or no torque, actually my mothers camry has more bottem end in normal driving. The ride is very rough an unrefined causing just about everything to rattle. The interior is cheap and is a carryover from a $16K Honda Accord with splashes of leather. DON'T buy it...get the loaded Honda Accord if you are in this market.

Routine Mx & Go

We traded in a Lexus SC 300 to purchase the TL new, and haven't regretted it. Other than routine maintenance and the trans which was recalled, the only thing we've had to replace is the wheels. (Hit a deep pot hole, blew both tires & bent both wheels). Wife is primary driver, with 75,000 miles. Now that the kids are gone, would probably prefer the CL which isn't made anymore.
