Used 2010 Acura TL Consumer Reviews
Great car for the money
Acura has done its homework on the new Acura TL SH-AWD! This car is very solid and a blast to drive. It hugs the road and curves like a great fitting glove. Its 3.7 engine is very fast and really easy on gas. I am already getting 26 on the highway at 75 mpg! The tech package is a must if you travel a lot. The sound system sounds very nice and I can store all of my CD's on the hard drive so I no longer have to keep my CD's in my car! It is just plain fun to drive!
Not a Honda, and that's a good thing
Just purchased this vehicle after several test drives. The audio is fantastic--best stock system I've heard. The AWD platform lacks some of the RWD jazz the G37x does, but you'll appreciate that FWD bias in the winter. Also, the Super-Handling is otherworldly. Just try to cause understeer--you can't do it. It out-cornered every other car I drove. I test drove all its competitors, and none of them achieve the balance of value, performance, comfort, features, and reliability that this car does. The torque hits max at c.5k RPM, so this is more of a highway driver than a drag racer. However, in sport mode, you can row the 5AT yourself, and see how fast you hit the power band

Sticks To The Road
You know "they" are not kidding when they say Honda makes the best manual transmission stick and clutch. I've almost intentionally tried to stall, but the stick shift seems to be idiot proof. The hill start assist system takes getting used to and I wish there was a way to turn it off. is there? I'm still in my break-in period, but I've floored the gas pedal of my TL by accident (wink wink) while on the highway and WOW! I've also cornered hard when driving the twisty roads up here in Philly and the sh-awd and sticky tires really does keep the car on the road. More stable than the Subaru I traded in. Imagine that.
Glad to Be Back in an Acura
In 1986, I jumped on board and bought the first ever Acura Integra. Three years later and 110,000 miles, I replaced it for a "family car" Honda Accord. The last 15 years I have owned three Toyota Camry's - all six cylinder. All performed flawlessly, but were vanilla and boring. I couldn't be happier to be back in an Acura TL. My 2010 handles incredibly. The paddle shifters operate in two different modes and add fun to the driving experience. When the 2009 body style was introduced, I hated. Now, I could not love it more. It truly has an aggressive don't mess with me look, which fits its driving personality. It is a unique design that I hope Acura continues to build on. I love this car!
What a surprise!
Leased my 2010 TL SH-AWD last week. Great combination of comfort, style and performance. Love the interior. Has ample backseat room for two as I entertain clients frequently. Incredible handling for large sedan. Quiet and compliant ride for a car with a relatively stiff suspension. Busy dash and steering wheel, but easy to get used to. And what a great value! The car mags usually compare to BMW 3 or Audi A4 type cars; should compare to BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Infiniti M. TL is thousands less expensive for purchase and hundreds per month less for lease. Best value out there for mid - large luxury sedan.
