Used 2006 Acura TL Consumer Reviews
Acura TL
This car rocks!! The stickshift is lots of fun, the brakes are awesome, all the toys that are standard make the car interesting and fun. I am amazed that Acura could build such an incredible car for such a good price. An equivalent BMW (5 series) would cost 20K more and the Lexus (250/350) is to small and doesn't come with nearly the amount of standard features. I use the car as a family sedan, which it has more than enough room for, but it drives and feels like a sports car. The NAV combined with XM is simply awesome.
Money Talks
Folks I've owned just about every type of import on the market, and I'm here to tell ya that there is no better value than the Acura TL. I'm one of the few people left who still prefers a clutch pedal, and Acura is more than willing to cater to me! Buying the stick doesn't make the car less expensive, but Acura hooks you up with Brembo 4 Piston brakes up front with pretty black calipers that read "Acura." DOES NOT perform like a BMW, DOES NOT ride like a Lexus, interior IS NOT as nice as an Audi, but come on, I paid $31k for this thing! Really should be rear wheel drive, then I think it could take a 3 series. Torque steer isn't bad, you get a better diff and reprogrammed software with the 6M!

Plush vs Performance
I recently purchased an 07 TSX and traded in my 06 TL. I like the handling of the TSX much better, but I missed the power, fit, and finish of my 06 TL so I went back and traded back the new TSX for my 06 TL which was still on the property. $ouch but worth it.
2006 TL
I looked at the competitors. All were great but could not beat the value of the TL. Low end torque - not been a problem for me. The Nav system is worth the investment.
Awesome TL
I've had my TL for a little over a year now. I love this car. I've only owned Acuras, so I'm a little biased. My last car was a Legend, so I'm used to Acura's quality. Love the sound system, navigation, and HID headlights. I also got the A Spec package (best decision I've made), I get looks all the time at the 18 inch rims. Was thinking about Nissan Maxima, Infiniti G35, and Mercedes C350. Decided on Acura which was the best decision. Plus the reliability has been outstanding. Never in the shop except for one service at 12000 miles (I use synthetic oil).
