Used 2006 Acura TL Sedan Consumer Reviews
The rattles and the jerking finally won.
I was so excited when I bought my 2006 TL. It was and still is one of the best looking cars on the road. However, after just one week the rattles began. I should have listened to other reviews. I tried for 2 years to pretend they didn't bother me because the car is beautiful and reliable. The real problem is the ride to the TL's prior to 2007 suspension upgrade was just too rough and it shakes everything loose. You can't even enjoy the DVD audio because ALL the speakers rattle and no one at my Acura dealership could fix them. I had a 2007 loaner once and noticed they finally fixed the suspension-that car was quiet. I finally gave up and traded it in this month (not for another Acura).

TL what a car
Just came off a lease of a 2004 Maxima. TL is better all around car for the same montly payment. Average 24-25mpg mostly city driving. Very comfortable and quiet ride. Radio is great. Looks great. What else can I say.
A great car choice - a little squeaky
I bought my car in July and it has been so much fun to drive!! The looks, both inside and out, are top notch. I drove the comparable BMW, Lexus, and Infiniti and all had some kind of issue that I didn't like. The TL smoked all of those in my book (after 6 months of research)! I drive mostly on the highway and average 28 mpg so it also gets great mileage. Everything is great! Except... The only bad thing is that since Acura used so many different materials on the inside, during the cold months they squeak and rattle sometimes. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! Still love the car and wouldn't have been this happy with anything else.
Best Bang for your Luxury Buck
After 3 months of exhaustive internet and test driving research, I selected the Acura TL. Acura's 'all inclusive features' approach allows them to integrate in ways that the majority of cars in its peer class can't experience. The voice recognition in the navigation allows you to control the heating and cooling, almost all radio functions and even place calls with your integrated Bluetooth phone. Today I asked my TL to find the nearest Chinese restaurant, pushed a button to make a hands free call to place my order, and one more to route me to their front door. As my first entry-luxury car, I am pleased to say my TL exceeds my expectations every time I get behind the wheel.
Fun Fun Fun
I love it all. The best value for your money. The interior surpasses all others in its class and the drive is just plain fun. The Navi and handfree are easy to use and the XM is just icing on the cake. The Acura TL is in a class all its own.
Great Total Package
I have owned Saabs and Volvo's for many years and decided to look for an all around performer for road trips, city driving, snow, ice and hot weather driving. I looked at all the competitors to the TL and found the TL to be tops in the "total package"; the well integrated controls of the excellent sound system, navigation system, the blue tooth cell phone technology, the power and handling. There are definitely improvements that can be made but no other car puts it all together like Acura did with the TL at under $35K. A bit surprised about the poor milage the TL has shown me in the one year I've had it - only averaging 17MPG mixed. Nice job Acura and its also built and designed in the US.
A for Acura
I've owned Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Infiniti, and Audi and this in the best total package I've ever owned. I've now had my TL for two years and have yet to take the car in for anything else other than schedule service. Acura has created the best blend of performance, luxury, and reliability. By the way, the standard bluetooth technology is great.
2 year and still happy
All things considered, the car is a joy to drive. Powerful engine can cause the front end to pull to the left when you floor it. I tend to drive with fuel consumption in mind and this car consistantly gives me around 25 mpg in mixed city/hwy and 30mpg hwy. A friend who has one drives aggressively and gets much lower results. Overall the car is a great combination of a sport/luxury car. Only disappointment is the nav system. Info was somewhat out of date when delivered and it is very annoying that you must hit a button on the screen to activate it everytime you start the car to acknowledge that you will use it with common sense
Fun, Performance, Great Looking
I purchased the 2006 Acura TL and it is an amazing car! I did quite a bit of research and bang for the buck, this car has it. I just came back from a few long trips and I can't wait to go out again. I actually got 34 MPG on the highway and I avg about 26 MPG around town. The hands free bluetooth works great! The acceleration, the comfort, the stereo/CD/XM radio are all fantastic. If you are thinking about a Lexus, or a BMW I urge you to drive a TL or an RL. These cars are great and the prices are reasonable for all of the options you get. Normally my wife gets to drive the new car and I take the older of the two we have. She's not getting this one! It's all mine!!
