Fantastic Car
This is my second TL. My first was a 2003 TL-S. Got a great price since the 2009's were coming out soon. Since the 2008 car has the same engine as my 2003 car I did not see the need for any more horsepower. This is really a fantastic car. Love the navi. Like to mess it up by taking a different route than it suggests. My two complaints with the 2003 were that the back seat does not fold down and that the garage door button was not lighted. They got one fixed. I'll be buying Acuras from now on. BTW, there is a way to secure the gas cap. There is a little piece of plastic on the cap that sticks out. It fits in the groove on the inside of the gas door.
Great looking car 9 years later
Dash cracking (i live in Florida). 2007/ 2008 leather seats are a softer leather that does not hols up as well. I have a few tears and obvious ware on the front seats.... other than thats, this car is fantastic. I absolutely love it. **UPDATE** Vehicle still running strong. I replaced the torn leather seats myself, 90 minute job for each seat... placed a plastic dash cover-lay over the dash and hides the cracks very well. No mechanical issues at 97k. Still love the car!

A car for the ages!
This has been a great car to own over the last 11 years. Never needed more than routine maintenance. Still rides well.

It's a Honda
Moving from 6 years with 5-series BMWs to an Acura TL requires a major adjustment. The TL is a well-built auto with nice interior design and complementary touches. It's a bit light, and coupled with the regular skinny tires, provides a harsh, shaky ride over rough pavement. Go for the better tires. I don't agree completely with the car being described as having sporty handling, especially as a front-driver, as it pushes through the turns. But it does have good acceleration to get you safely on the highway, but at a cost in fuel economy (averaging 23 mpg overall). Sunroof operates nicely, but admits cool air in the winter with the shade open and roof closed.
8 years of reliability and comfort
Have really enjoyed my TL. nothing except routine maintenance and a timing belt which I replaced based on the manual's recommendation. Only issue is the bluetooth link went out and haven't wanted to spend the 350 to replace it. I highly recommend the car.
