2012 Acura TL SH-AWD is an incredible balance between luxury and sport in a sedan that runs up there with the BMW, Infinity and others. I don't care what anyone says, Honda reliability in a "tweaked" upscale car is so fun. The performance, features and sporty ride is great!!! Have owned Honda vehicles since 1992 and this is the first Acura in the garage and more than likely won't be the last. Get one! Do it and you will not be disappointed.

I've had my new TL for about 3 weeks now and love it, traded a 2009 TSX and what a huge step up! More room, power and luxury. The interior is beautiful , lots of storage and comfy seats. The front end redesign helped in my decision .

I bought the 2012 TL with 14,000 miles on it. And it has really been fun to drive. Like other people mentioned i paid $32,300 plus tax for this car. I was looking for the new accord V6 Touring full loaded and after seating on the car and feeling how cheap the interior was. Everything is plastic, leather doesn't feel like real leather. I decided to take a look of the TL and decided rather to have a used TL than a brand new Honda Accord. The TL is more luxury, nicer interior and way more powerful. I will definitely recommend it this car. Average mile per gallon right now in mix driving 23 miles/gallon..
Great bang for your buck!

Had a 2009 Lexus IS350, and was considering replacing it with either the new GS, the BMW 328i, or the Acura. The GS is a great car, but I wasn't crazy about the interior layout or the wacky joystick and busy infotainment system. The BMW was too pricey after optioning it well. Which brings me to the Acura. A great all around car with loads of refinement and plenty of technology and features for the money. I actually picked the AWD version because I love the standard wheels and the interior upgrades of the car. The car is so sexy with Crystal Black Pearl exterior and Umber leather interior, I really lucked up to snatch the car from the dealer a day after it arrived on the lot!
I bought the base model as CPO in early 2014

Update January 2021: not much change since last July except I had to replace the battery recently. Just stone dead when trying to crank it one day. The strange part was the last battery was just at 1 year old and it was a genuine Acura battery. I usually get at least 2 years from a battery. With work from home I am driving a lot less so perhaps that’s a factor. I noticed with the new battery the car is cranking like a new car. So perhaps that prior “new” battery was a dud. Time will tell. Update July 2020: I now have over 110k miles on this vehicle. It’s still very nice and a pleasure to drive. I have had to replace the tires a couple of times and also the front struts and springs due to noises. So I have spent some several thousands in repairs for maintenance items only. I still find the car very reliable and satisfying to drive. I don’t plan to get rid of it anytime soon. The paint and interior still look very good! I have driven some newer vehicles and I really don’t like the feel of the steering and power delivery compared to this older TL. Keeper! Original review: I have only used the Acura dealer that I purchased this vehicle from and they are excellent. Not cheap - but never damage the car when working on it and always maintain it right. If you are having problems with this car - you may have a bad shop. Mine has had virtually nothing but tires, oil changes, brake pads, tranny flushes, batteries and tires since I bought it. These are all regular maintenance items. There was a TSB on the transmission fluid filter clogging and they handled it at no cost to me. It was making a gurgling sound prior to the filter being replaced - only at cold startup. Overall love the car. My only wishes are it had better visibility or technology for blind spot detection. I really don’t care for the TLX at all, so for now keeping this one!
