Rides like drifting on a cloud

Love to drive it! The ride is so smooth it feels like driving on a cloud. It is the best car for the price given all the standard features, which are options on other vehicles I looked at at the same level.

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.

Type-S for Speed!

Just purchased '03 Satin Silver Type- S. I love it! Almost purchased Maxima SE over TL-p, then drove the Type-S . . it was a no brainer! If $$$ is an issue, don't even think about a Lexus, Infiniti, Volvo, Audi, or BMW (they'll all be at least $3000 to $10000 more for the same options).

Had an Avalon and thought I was trading up. It's just not a comfortable car to be in for any length of time. Should have kept looking!

Near Perfection. No competition

The TL type S puts the competition to shame. We drove the Infiniti G-35 and there was no comparison. The transmission is exceptional. The acceleration is awesome. When using the sport shift feature the Acura gives you total control after second gear. The manumatic in the Infiniti takes over if you hold it a lower gear for too long. It defeats the purpose. Interior is very user friendly. Exterior is slightly on the modest side with a bid too much chrome for a sport model.
