Used 2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
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
BMW vs TL - which one?
I have had a BMW 328/330Ci over the last 10 years. I almost purchased the 2006 330i, agonized and "setteled" for the TL as it was $10k cheaper. First, if you like to drive hard in the country or town, the BMW can't be touched, period. After that, the TL is the best combination of value, reliability, performace that I have found. As I drive mostly highway mileage now, I would continue to choose the TL over the BMW. Torque steer, front wheel drive, turning circle detract from an otherwise great car.

Exciting to Drive - Stress Free Fun
What I wanted was a sporty car. I needed SOME utility, not just a two seater with loads of power. I also wanted to have some quality and a few bells and whistles. Boy does this car deliver! It looks regal with a touch of attitude. Step inside it and the leather brings a smile to my face. There is plenty of room without feeling crammed, and it isn't huge. Suspension is somewhat tight, but not stiff allowing a comfortable suspension ride and perform well on fast cornering or take offs if I choose. The stereo system is sweet and I love the steering controls. Now the downsides - if you really call it that. Gas mileage isn't the greatest, and there is a learning curve on the navigation.
Fast Car
Nice looking fast car. Shopped BMW 325,Infiniti G35 & M35, Toyota Avalon, Lexus IS 250 & Audi A4 & A6. Acura TL is best bang for the buck. My other car is 97 Infiniti I30 & I can feel the difference in acceleration with the TL. No feeling of understeer or oversteer from FWD. Ride is a little crunchy over bumps but the car launches like a rocket at 3000 rpm & good brakes. Had it for ~ 3 mos & no problems & NO RATTLING WHATSOVER.
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.
