Used 2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
acura overview
This is my second Acura, purchased (similar to its predecessor) for the value per dollar spent. IMHO, its handling approaches the best among others in this price class. I have not had the long enough to comment on its reliability, but if past experience is an indicator, it should do very well. Thus far, I'm a happy camper.
The Best
This is my fourth Acura and the best yet. The ride is perfect ( I like hard ride) the interior design and the nav system are all top notch. You can't get a better value in the entry luxury class. I was thinking of changing to a Lexus ES 350, but the cost was $100 more per month with less features.

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.
2006 Acura TL
TL is a fine and fun car, but it is neither a great luxury car or sports car. The ride is firm, way too much on uneven concrete surfaces. Several rattles.
Bang for the Buck
My last 4 cars were MBenz's with an 02 E55 as the car before the TL. I spent months trying to justify buying a 90K car that didnt do all the things this TL does. yes I miss the big V8 and rear wheel drive, but for 35K this car is awesome. I added the A spec kit which does help with the 18 inch rims and ground effects. Ride is great power is ok, still a little torque steer but not bad if I lay off it. The doors do rattle when the windows are down and the "auto shift" won't let you shift to 2nd so it sort of makes it a little less than true shifting. But again I don't believe there is a better car under 50K including the RL.
