Used 2012 Acura TL Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Better choice than BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes, etc.
Okay, so I am in my late 50's now and have owned so many cars since the late 60's that I cannot count them all. I owned Pontiac - Chevy - Ford - Lincoln etc. Switched to Japanese cars, specifically an Acura TL in 2001 and have since had many Honda/Acura products in my garage. Decided to test drive all high end sedans including Acura, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Infiniti and Audi. Drove them all. I can afford any of them yet decided that the new 2012 style TL was the best of the lot regardless of price. BMW overpriced and for the poseur - not all that. Audi was gutless like the Mercedes, Infiniti & Lexus quality second rate to the Acura. Best dollar for dollar car purchase I've ever made. Awesome!!
Fun ride!
I bought my 2012 Acura in 2014 and have pretty much enjoyed everything except the "soft" leather seats which can be easily damaged and the navigation system which would be more user friendly and less frustrating if it were a touch screen. I've had my car for 5 yrs and have pretty much had only the normal maintenance of brakes/tires. This has been a great fun car to have. However, now that its paid off, I will have to look into getting the leather interior fixed. My family went to Water Country and before I realized my daughter had her wet hair on the back headrest, it was all warped up..not too long after that incident, I noticed the front seats ripping. I don't recall the year my seats started ripping, but people were surprised at how they ripped. This was my first car with leather seats, so I didn't know what to expect. The car is very fast, however, there's a big pause if you're trying to have a speedy takeoff. It's great for petite/average sized individuals but definitely not spacious enough for larger drivers/passengers. Its a great balance of a sport/luxury sedan.

ACURA Man
I own a 2012 TL, and this is the fourth ACURA vehicle I have purchased since 1990. My wife currently drives a 2012 MDX and she loves the ACURA brand also. This TL has the Tech Pkg and the car drives just like it did when there was 5 miles on it. I have know complaints about this car ... it looks good, drives good, great reliability, well-engineered vehicle.

Satisfied new lease owner
Car handles well and is impressively equipped with the technology package. The sound system is great as is the voice command. The number of buttons can be daunting, but I find them useful. Styling is good and overall it is a great value, especially for a lease.
owned since April '12
great TL and best Acura owned since Legend Coupe which wasn't close to this model in drivability and comfort. blind spot is horrible and side view cam is a must for this model Rear cam is wonderful.
