Best car I have ever owned!

After nearly 13 years and 155,000 miles, my 2006 Acura TL still runs like it was new. Nothing but scheduled maintenance over this time, and still a blast to drive. Have been looking around recently, but finding any decent, reliable car with a 6 cylinder and 6-speed manual transmission makes me think I got the end of the line. The bluetooth and GPS were ahead of their time, and only now seem to have been surpassed in newer cars. The only thing it lacks is 4WD, but that has only been an issue once since I bought it - and changing to better all-season tires fixed that.

For years, my kids heard me say "see that TL over there - THAT's the one I want". Now it's more like an unspoken "I love my car" (I bought it last summer). I love the 2004-08 body style - those before and since just don't have that same sleek, wedge look (the groove was so iconic that recent Accords copied it). All my research pointed to the 2006 being the most reliable of the bunch too. You ever get *exactly* the car you want and never, ever look back? Yeah, it's like that.

I can truly attest to this car's performance, having driven it for 80,000 miles and 3 solid years. It is a fun car to drive, be it in the city or on a country road. Everything you can think of with a few exceptions (I'll get to those next) is included (not an option) like Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, driver & passenger memory seats, awesome navigation with touch screen and there's even a light in the glovebox. The downsides:no MP3 connection,no need for cassette player,rear seats don't fold, moon roof controls should be mounted on dashbord.I recommend Michelin tires for a quiet ride.The TL is extremely affordable to maintain- I still have my original brakes with 5k+ miles remaining.

The car you never look back from, it works in all

My 06 TL is ridiculously reliable and fast. My maintenance costs are next to nothing. I've had it for 10 years it just needs routine maintenance. (Oil changes, etc.) I'm at 212,000 miles and the car still throws me back against the seat. Everything still works too! With minimal upgrades (intake, racing oil, and some seafoam) the car is insanely fast and reliable!
