MPG could be improved

I got the car used, at 27,500 mi. Not bad for a 2005 car. Handling is very sporty, suspension is more sporty than luxurious. MPG is pretty bad - mix driving only gets me between high teens and 21mpg.

What an awesome vehicle

I bought my TL at the end of March 2004. I love everything about it. It drives with ease and performs exceptionally well. The interior is something I enjoy every time I get in the car. The navigation system is easy to use and has already paid for itself with 6 months use. I consistently get 29 to 30 mpg on pure highway driving. This amazes me since it is so powerful and responsive to drive. The sound system is awesome and I elected to subscribe to XM radio after my free 90 day subscription expired. I considered BMW and Lexus models in the same class but felt that the Acura TL offers the best value $ for $. I highly recommend this vehicle. Buy it. You won't be disappointed!!

This car has been a complete joy. For Under $40k this car has every option a consumer could possibly desire. This car moves out of the way and comfortably fits 3 plus a carseat with plenty of room to spare. I wouldn't give this car up for the world.

Great value but not perfect

It's been 6 months and I'm still happy with the purchase. The car is beautiful inside and out and full of useful gadgets. Performace is strong and I haven't had any mechanical problems with the car. I do have a few complaints. The turning radius is terrible, I'm afraid to do U-turns now for fear that I'll have to do a three pointer. There are too many small rattles for a car in this segment. Then again, I'd rather have rattles than mechanical failure like recent Germans. Desperately needs an MP3 jack and an 8-way passenger seat. The Navi disclaimer needs a permanent bypass, I'm sick of pressing OK everytime. Overall, a good car whose value makes it great.

Best car I've ever owned

This car has a TON of standard features. Quality is first rate. Looks awesome everytime I park it and look back. By far, it's the best car I've ever known. Compared to the G35 coupe, it's a little slower and doesn't shift as smooth, but that's about it. Other than that, this car is 10 times better than a G35 coupe, in my opinion. The quality, radio, seat memory, tilting mirrors, and financing are the top reasons why I got this car over the G35. I'm telling you, this car is AWESOME!
