Excellent Idea Horrible Execution
Review: Fell in love with this car when I bought it now I CANNOT STAND IT, all within less than 6 months! Why? Rattles, Rattles, and more Rattles Misaligned body parts, especially trunk that rubs and has paint chipped off and rust on it! Very poor water based paint used. Chips started on drive home from dealer and haven't stopped. Paint mottling (swirling on doors) uneven paint application at factory! Looks like an army camouflage vehicle under certain lights! Cheap leather on seats that has more wrinkles than a 120 year old lady's face. Wrinkle in seat within first 500 miles and it only gets worse. If you get black its gets even better! DASHBOARD FADES TO A MILKY WHITE COLOR! ALL TLs DO IT

After owning only European cars for the past 10 years (Audi, BMW, MB) I decided to give the Acura TL a chance. Although I was impressed by the lower cost, I've realized that the extra cost goes into the details. After about a year of ownership, I've noticed that the TL just can't match the attention to detail, high-speed performance, and material quality of German competitors (e.g., interior materials, ambient lighting inside, intelligent design in small details, etc.) I think every manfacturer has a competency, and the TL is relatively comfortable, luxurious, and performs relatively well, but doesn't excel like those offered by Euro car makers.

Missed the mark
AS an owner of a 2002 TL I can't begin to tell you how disapointed I am in the 2006 model. If your a big fan of chep leather, plastic and tin you will love the interior. The ride is poor the performance disapointing. When compared to the 2002.
Looks great.. isn't.
Yes, its an acura. It has the bells and whistles. But this car has one TERRIBLE problem. The battery dies. CONSTANTLY. There no amount of comfort and convenience to compensate for this cars unreliability. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Awesome! Impressive! Two Thumbs Up!
I've driven a Passat the last 4 years, and I have to say, this is a major upgrade, Ten-Fold...This has got to be one of the most prestigious cars on the market. Pure comfort and quality.
