Strengths: Fantastic sound system; smooth, powerful engine; sharp, short- throw manual transmission; perfect driving position; top-notch safety equipment; perfect build quality; enjoyable dealership experience; tons of car for the money. Weaknesses: Manual transmission- equipped cars hard to come by; OK, there is also a little torque steer.

This vehicle is amazing. I test drove one and feel in love with all the features this vehicle has to offer. The technology alone is amazing, but the handling and the sound system is precise and clear. The ride comfort is right on point. Very nice car!!!

I did a lot of research before buying my TL. Every car I looked at had *something* wrong with it, so it's hard to get a good picture of reliability from the forums. Acura has a great reputation though. I decided to pony up $6K more than I had intended to spend to ensure I would not have buyer's remorse. Nine days after the purchase I totally regret buying this car. The lack of quality is a joke. A very bad joke. I'm ready to eat $1000 if the dealer will buy the car back from me. My previous two cars - a '92 GMC Sonoma and '00 Mustang GT - didn't have ONE problem in the first year, let alone 3-4 in the first 9 days like this TL. :(

Acura TL -The Best Value On The Road

2005 Acura TL 3.2 4dr Sedan w/Summer Tires and Navigation System (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Terrific performance for the money - this is the best value car on the road today. Navigation system knocks spots off the one in our 2001 BMW 540i and the Acura is 100% more reliable than its garage mate. Acura could improve the turn radius and make the steering wheel telescope but otherwise they've thought of everything. The Bridgestone performance tires were a big disappointment and wore out after 12,000 miles - with no hot-rodding to hasten their demise. We replaced them with Pirellis and are much happier. This is my 3rd Acura (1995 Legend, 2000 TL) and I love the brand. The availability of a manual transmission in the 2004 TL was a key selling point for this family.

I picked up my Acura TL in Feb 2004. I have enjoyed every trip. It is fun to drive, and I always get comments and looks from people who want to know moe about it. The 270 HP and the sporty style are what 1st attracked me too. The stereo, road handling, and dash locked me in!
