Love my car

I bought this used - it was 5 years old with 50,000 miles and one owner and I got lucky because she took such good care of it that it was like buying a new car - it even smells new. I love everything about it, especially since my prior car was a Prius - this is much "zippier" :-) As one other reviewer said, the only annoying things are somewhat rough downshifting and no detailed info on the Bluetooth - all you see is a tiny number in the odometer area. But it is a 6 year old car with 6 year old technology, so I guess that's to be expected. Other drawback is the gas mileage (I average about 22 mpg overall) and the need for premium unleaded - but I knew this going into the purchase.

Great Road Car and Safe to Boot

This is our second Acura, first one was a 2000 TL. My wife drives this car as I wanted her to have a safe reliable vehicle. We like the style, but the dependability and the driving security is far above most other cars. It is definitely a great road car with the AWD, which does impact mileage a bit. On most road trips, driving 70 mph on the highway, we get a bit over 24.0. We live in a gate community in Arkansas which is very hilly and winding curves, so we get about 21.5 My wife loves her car and I enjoy driving it as well. We visit relatives in Texas, Missouri,, Illinois, and Ohio and I never worry about the car performance. I've owned a Honda product since 1977 and I've never been stranded in all those years. I use to own Chev and Mercury, had problems with both within 3 years. My drive around car is a 96 Honda hatchback with close to 200,000 miles and have never had a mechanical problem. We are retired now, and car dependability is a must, so it is Honda and Acura for us. Updated (Apr 2018)..... still feel the same for the Acura and the Honda... Updated (April 2020) We traded in the Acura for a new Subaru Outback because we needed more room while traveling. I still have my 96 Honda. My wife almost cried when she traded in her Acura as she has enjoyed that car for 10 years. We no longer have the Acura...

2010 Acura TL

Our lease was up on our BMW 328. We took a few months and looked at just about everything in the same price range even considering purchasing our 328. The TL was the first thing we looked at...it bacically came down to the TL and the Cadillac CTS. It soon became an easy choice, the TL is the hands down winner! The styling is crazy, both outside and in. A true head turner with real class! I am 49 years of age and have owened them all, BMW, Volvo, Vettes our 2010 TL tops them all. I can't say enough about the design of this car. I wait for my wife to pull in to the driveway daily just to see it go down the road. The ride is tight and smooth. A real pleasure to own a drive. And,it's a HONDA

I love this car. It's a compelling blend of acceleration, sporty drive, comfort, quiet, and packed with features. I considered the BMW 3 series and an Infiniti G35, but the back seats looked like it was made for small children and I was concerned about reliability. For the price and value it was an easy decision taking home the Acura TL.

So Far So Good- Blown Away is more like

Man. This car is fantastic! I love the awkwardly beautiful looks on the exterior and the well laid out interior. I cross-shopped several cars in the luxury and near luxury segment and the Acura TL came out on top easily. For the price you get so many things standard, including leather seats, Ipod connectivity, Hands Free Link, Garage Door Link, Heated front seats to name a few things. All this in the base model. And the car drives like a dream. Very responsive in day to day driving. Just a great car all around.
