I have loved the TL since it was redesigned last year. After looking at a number of other makes and models I came back to the car I have been wanting. I bought a TL and love it. The quality/reliability is definitely Honda. Amazing the looks from others as well - if you like that sort of thing.

I've heard so many good things about the Acura and starting researching it myself for my next purchase...I love the car and so far am completely satisfied with my purchase.

I underpowered off the line, but more than makes up for it in midrange. Nav with voice command is lots of fun. It's really cool changing the radio station, the climate control, which CD is playing etc. by voice command. Oh, and the "Find nearest..." voice command is really cool. "Find nearest chinese restaurant". Shhhhnazzy! Great car to drive. Very nimble with a very satisfying acceleration jolt when the gas peddle is mashed. The stereo has very good sound quality but is a bit underpowered if you like to rattle your rearview mirror. Be prepared. This is a sports sedan and not a "pillow barge". Therefore it may ride a bit stiff if you're expecting to sit on a cushion of poof.

Used to drive only German. First VW then BMW. I had looked at the previous model TL and found it lacking, but not the 2005. It basically boiled down to a BMW 530 and the TL. They had comparable specs and equipment, but the BMW was $10K more and had poor reliability. Granted, the Acura does not handle as tightly or sharply as the Bimmer, but unless you routinely drive curvy roads without traffic slowing you down, you'll never miss the BMW's better handling. I'm not a brand snob so I had no problem taking the Acura nameplate over BMW. Highly recommended.

The car is a head turner. Excellent styling, quality and performance. Just fun to drive. I got the blue/q best looking of all color combos except black/black.
