What a machine

I do enjoy my TL. The six speed manual trans is great, however when the temperature is below 60 degrees the shifting is tight until the car gets hot. The sound system and navigation are great features. Overall a real head turner.

Blackstar Granite

My recurring dream of a beautiful black racehorse named "Blackstar Granite" who gracefully and effortlessly earns the Triple Crown has come to life in the form of a magnificent automobile---my new 2005 Acura TL in Nighthawk Black Pearl. Once again hungry for a mid-size luxury sedan, and after being left totally uninspired by the Mercedes C Class, BMW 3 Series, Audi 5, Lexus ES 300, and Jaguar S, this was the only car that literally "knocked my socks off". Its beauty and elegance inside and out, and its performance left me speechless. With 270 horsepower, a sound system to die for, and every luxury feature I have ever hoped for, this is the first car I feel I would want to keep forever.

My Tasty Limo. (TL)

Having owned an ES300 Lexus, I wanted to stay in that price range. The Acura was very competitive but with more power, edgy looks, electronic features and much better road handling. It's stability on curves was superior to the Lexus with a cleaner more luxurious interior. I can't wait to get in it every morning!

I got this car about 3 weeks ago and I love it. I was in between the Infiniti G35 and the TL. There is no comparison. The TL is great to drive. The interior is amazing. The bluetooth, navigation, and sound system are all great.

30 Year GM Owner-Employee Goes Acura

After working for and driving GM cars for 30 years we looked at the new models and felt that we were in a rut to purchase another GM product. Working for them was worse as I saw all the flaws that were brought to are dealership on a daily basis and could not believe that there was any quality control. Most recently I accepted a position working for a Honda Franchise and found the highest quality vehicles I had ever seen with extreme owner loyalty. We test drove the Acura TL and were sold in the first block. We not only bought one but our son picked his up the same day. We said "SO LONG GM" and could not have made a better purchase of a finer car. Class, Style, Performance sums up the TL.
