Used 2006 Acura TL 4dr Sedan w/Nav System (3.2L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
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.
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.

Almost great
The gas mileage is not what I was led to expect. I get only about 22-23 mpg average. I got 20-21 mpg on my 7 series BMW! Very fun to drive! Very reliable!
Comfort, Class, & Honda Reliable
My wife needed to replace her aging Jag so we went looking and she drove a 2 year old Acura TL with 47K that was in dealer's lot. It was as sturdy as rock - no squeaks, rattles, or signs of aging. And the very best Nav System on any car I've seen. After driving the competitors, we returned to the dealer and bought a brand new TL. After 5 months, no problems, no regrets. I'm the sportscar type (S2000) but I keep finding reasons to drive the Acura. Just wish it was RWD - on hard acceleration from very low speed I can feel the torque steer. Other than that, no complaints.
Good car for a front wheel drive
My TL was a superb choice in my price category. The only issues I have is they have problems with their front windshield, as mine was broken and I have heard of others, also car should really be a rear wheel drive to counter the stability problems when really putting on the speed, either at start up, or passing. The rear exterior design is very boring with the TSX/RSX more sporty. It should be the other way round IMHO.
