Used 2005 Acura TL Consumer Reviews
great car awful dealer
This car is such a pleasure to drive having a 99tl before I am very pleased with the vast technology and performance improvements. The only drawback was my dealer
The best
I bought the 2005 TL on 10/23/2004. I spent the weekend driving this baby around and all I have to say is WOW..this is a fantastic car. It's powerful and the technology used in this car is amazing. The ride is comfortable yet still sporty. The fun factor of this car is unparallel with the powerful ride, amazing stereo system, bluetooth and the cool blue lights. I think this car is a great value. You get so much for your money. Definitely test-drive this one if you're considering getting a BMW 3 series or a Lexus GS300 or 400. In my opinion, it's a perfect car.
The Intelligent BMW
This is a truly awe-inspiring vehicle. It is a mobile testimony to the ability of mankind to refine the daily commute to a work of artestry. Prior to our purchase of the TL, we gave consideration to the G35, BMW 3-Series, and Lexus ES 330. The TL's larger size, long list of standard features, and reliability factor won out.
A year with the new TL
After a full year of owning the '04 TL, I have only two complaints. First, is the lack of a trip computer feature integrated into the nav system. Some product manager just got it very wrong to put the trip computer into the message center instead of the nav system like the Honda Accord. Luckily, you can work around this by booting the nav system into the Honda version, just change a couple of file names on a CD-R and presto - you have the Honda nav features including the trip computer with real-time mpg bar graph. My second gripe is the way the driver door springs back at you as you attempt to open the door. No workaround or adjustment according to Acura.
The TL is a NICE Ride.
Great Car. The ride is smooth and powerful. The look is bold, sexy and mean. The inside of the car gives you the bang for your buck.
