Used 2006 Acura TL Sedan Consumer Reviews
Love It!
I have liked this car since its introduction in '04. I have 2000 miles on it already. The seats are comfortable and the controls are easy to reach and work with. You can't beat the value of this vehicle. For $35k sticker, you get everything. I compared BMW, but the 325xi comparably equipped was about $40k sticker. Lexus is difficult, b/c you have to order option packages and hope you can find the car you want.
This car ROCKS!
I upgraded from a 1997 Civic to a 2006 TL. It's been 6 months since I bought it and the initial shock of driving something 1) that worked and 2) that is fast has worn off. However, the fun I have driving it has not died. There are times I wish I was in sales just so I can drive it around. Although, I'm pretty sure it's quickness and nibleness will probably get me a ticket at some point. I love this car. I try to tell everyone I know to get one. I loved my Honda and now I love my Acura. You just can't go wrong with that company. On a side note, I have to say the dealership I went through was amazing. I've never thought of buying a car as a pleasant experience. They were great!

My New TL
We just picked up our new TL after months of agonizing research. The car is everything we hoped it would be. I bought it for $100.00 over invoice at Criswell Acura in Annapolis, Maryland. Very professional (and amusing) staff. Car was well prepped and they explained everything to us. So well, we were even able to use the Navigation system on the first try.
Great Bundles!
One thing I love about TL is that there are only two option... Nav/Or No Nav.Great Interior design and bundled technology. Just wishing that they have a RWD or AWD version.
Expected More
The TL is a good buy for the money and should prove to be a reliable car. However, it's not as an exciting car to drive as I had hoped. Seat adjustments are not quite suited for a 6'2" frame, exterior body construction is not as substantial as it first appears, XM signal quality is poor on most channels (I probably will not subscribe because of that when the free trial priod is up), Bluetooth is subpar. I had narrowed my choices down between the G35 and the TL and the TL won out on interior build quality. In the end, the G35 would likely have been a better choice all around.
Great Value
I've had a Maxima for 4 years and had every intention of getting an '06. I drove the Mazda Speed 6, a handful of SUVs, the '06 Maxima and finally this TL. By far, the TL is the best vehicle for the money and a significant upgrade against the competition. The low-end torque is a plus over the Maxima. The build quality is truly in cut above the rest (at least in my snack bracket). For me, the blend of luxury and performance are what attacted me to the car and keep me smiling. Can't believe this is a base vehicle with no options!
Get the stick!
Just bought the 06 TL Manual with Nav over the 4th of July weekend and I LOVE IT! I swore I would never buy a brand new car but these hold their value so well, stupid to buy an 05 for $30,000 when you can spend another $3,000 and get the brand spanking new!
Nice Ride
The TL is a find car. Some minor trim misalighnment on the passenger door at delivery. A few minor rattles that went away in the dash and door. Some complain about the ride is to rough. I think it is fine for a sports sedan with 45 series tires. Check tire pressure folks. I would recommend this car. I bought at thousand dollars over cost...a very good deal. I had a previous TL-S and this is a big improvement in features, handling, comfort, and the design of the body and interior.
Great power on demand
I really love my Acura, it has power to spare,and turns well. I am a little disappointed in the styling of the rear of the car. I think they need to address this isssue, and make a TL that looks a bit more intimidating
Love this car
Just bought this 06 with ten thousand miles. Great car, ample power, a little too fun to drive, (hard to get where you are going when you never want to get out of the car), sleek design. After researching I found that this car holds its value better than ANYTHING in its class, beats Mercedes and BMW, and offers so much more with Honda reliability. Rear visibility is not good, thinking the back up sensors may be worth the money considering what bumpers cost. People complain of the back end design of the car so I added a spoiler, looks great. Got it for my 45th birthday, great investment for the young at heart.
