It's surprising to me that Acura no longer makes these beauties. Not only is it nice to look at, it's even better to drive. Great comfort and even better performance. The TL hugs curves like nobody's business! All weather = no problem. Great in snow and rain! I would buy another if they still made them.

Vast improvement over '04 TL

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

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.

After 10 years of Infiniti G35 sedans (2003 and 2006 models, 6MT), I switched to Acura SH-AWD with the Technology Package (the only configuration I could get manual transmission!) in late March, 2013. The TL gives up a little of the visceral,sporty feel of the G, but gains in overall refinement and all weather capability. The TL is is a substantially larger car (6" longer, and 4" wider than the G), and hence feels less tossable than the G. However, it has very fine handling and a composed ride. I love my car, it has been absolutely trouble free, and feels extraordinarily competent. It is a compellingly good value in the upscale segment. Update (2/3/2017): I have not been able to take my car on long journeys because of travel overseas over the summer the last few years. Hope to rectify that situation in the coming years. With winter tires (Pilot Alpins) my car has been as secure as my wife's Subaru Outback (2016 3.6R) in the winter months. Update (8/6/2017): Have been gone for two months this summer also - abroad for work, then on vacation (including a cruise) - when I did not use my car. My opinion of the car remains very positive. I am, however, becoming more aware of not having rear cross-traffic alert like in my my wife's Outback. Update (8/7/2018): I am very happy with the performance of my car. Usually I get the new car itch by this time. But I realize that it is very difficult to get a car like mine (AWD, 305 HP, 6M) tat balances comfort and sportiness at a reasonable price. So I am more than happy to hang on to my TL SHAWD!

I've owned a number of luxury cars over the years, but this TL provides the best experience per dollar spent than any other car I've owned.

Had an opportunity to drive all three cars back to back for over an hour per vehicle. Although these vehicles are generally not cross shopped, there may be more reason to do so, especially since the TL redesign. The perfect vehicle would include the BMW exterior styling and suspension, the TL tranny and SHAWD and the Audi engine and interior. Unfortunately, I see deficits, albeit small, in all three vehicles. The TL SHAWD is impressive to say the least. Just hammer the it in a turn and it begs for more. The 6MT is as smooth as it gets. Interior is better than others' review.
