2013 Acura TL Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The TL is probably the worse car in the market, Acura should close their business forever! This is super super bumpy and noise ride. I can feel every bumps on the road even tiny bumps and there are rattles from center console when go over bumps. The suspensions also make thumping and popping sound when go over bumps .The engine runs rough after just 10k mils. What a horrible ownership of this car. Can't wait to get rid of this junk. What a waste of money. I should do more research before i buy this car. First and last Acura! Do not buy any Acura cars!!!
Awful 6 speed Transmission

2012 Acura TL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The new 6 speed transmission is awful, in a weak attempt to squeeze extra MPG out of the car this is by far the worst transmission i have ever driven. It has a severe hesitation/hunting issue in off the line accelerations and awful harsh awkward shifts in low gears.

I bought this vehicle in 2012 (certified with 5K miles on it). I have had a number of battery issues; cable rust issues ect.. I just ended up replacing the battery today just in 4 yrs. On top of that there was a serious recall for which I had to waste a lot of time. I also had to recently replace the tires within 40K miles. For the money you pay, there are more reliable brands such as 'Lexus' which is better value for money. Stay away from this POS.

It is a wonderful handling and performing car, with average gas mileage rather than great because of its bigger engine and awd. I love it and would recommend it highly. After driving it for 24 months, my opinion has not changed. I think that it has great mileage for a 300 horsepower engine. The only problem I had was with the electric power steering. It needed replacement at 37000. In addition, I got great after-purchase service from A1 Used Cars, where I purchased it. I highly recommend it and the dealer.
