This is my second TL. I gave up my 2000 with close to 200k miles on it, because it needed some minor repairs, but also because my family wanted me to switch it out for something newer. It would have run much longer- no major problems in all that time. The new car is a great value. Only paid $2500 more for it than the 2000. Good news- rock solid, better handling, excellent stereo, very comfortable. And, of course, the fact that it is a reliable Honda. But here's where they dropped the ball- too many buttons, incomprehensible logic in the controls, downgraded nav system (compared to the ease and logic of my 2000 version). And the trunk- what were they thinking? Can't get too much in.
I love the car

I drive this car and enjoy the experience. I feel i have good ownership experience which includes - style, comfort, technology( GPS, traffic alert, key less fob, ...), and cost of ownership. I do agree that there are areas of improvement.. however i am not a race driver or a person who has tons of free time to play with all the possible options in the car so i don't have any specific complaints. its a real good car which makes you smile and its value for money on long run.

I traded my '06 525i after a very expensive out of warranty repair. I've owned an '04 TL for 2 years preceeding the '06 525i purchase in '08. I had absolutely no issues with the TL and just the opposite with the 525i (maybe I should listen to the Consumer Reports review, they were spot on with their review). I went back to '12 TL w/Tech Package, what a breath of fresh air that was. I got it in July and have about 11K+ miles on it with no issues whatsoever. I love the entertainment and navigation systems and their ease of use. The TL handles with ease and is quite entertaining to drive and I love the engine sound at wide open throtle. The car is quite fast and a pleasure to drive.
Excellent car!

Very happy with this car. Excellent luxury car for a regular car price. Paid $32.7K + tax for TL Tech. I've had it for 8k miles now and it's been great! Absolutely no problems at all. Plenty of power, smooth, quiet, handles well, very comfortable seats, Amazing stereo system!! Decent gas mileage for a mid sized luxury car, averaging 25 mpg overall in mixed driving; 28+ on long road trips. This is an excellent car for this price range. I paid about what a fully loaded accord/camry/altima would have cost, but got a much nicer & sportier luxury car instead. No complaints whatsoever!
Worst car I ever owned

I purchased this car new in 2012 and had problems from day one. Especially with build quality. For starters I never really cared about how a car rides over bumps bc I never had one they rode bad. I had the two wheel drive model that was supposed to be softer but wow. It was literally the worst riding car I’ve ever owned. They dealership was very nice and pleasant so that was a plus. The biggest complaint about this is car was the transmission. It was horrible and made me want a new car after about a year. It had a very noticeable jerk from first into second gear under everyday driving. Almost like it shifted twice. It would rev then slam into second then jerk again to a lower rpm. Several trips to dealer and did flush changed , software upgrades, and then changed the torque converter. That fixed the problem for 3000 miles then the jerk returned. Also had NUMEROUS rattles and creaks. After 3 years and only 40,000 miles the front and rear end started making noise when passing over bumps. I guess they don’t make them like they used to in Japan. I was very happy to get rid of this car and get one with a better ride and far superior build quality. I wanted a bmw but I usually put a lot of miles on my cars and had heard bad things about them so I went with another Japanese car. Believe me the bmw I replaced it with has not given one problem and still has no rattles and I’m now at 86,000 miles. Will never buy another Acura again.
