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.

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.

2013 TL AWD-SH w/Advanced PKG

I've only had the car for about a month (900 miles), so commenting on reliability, etc. is impossible. Given Honda's track record though, I'm sure it's excellent, especially when compared to cars in its class. I know from what I've been told and read, BMW's, Mercs, and Audi's are somewhat unreliable and extremely expensive to repair. Furthermore, resale value on all of them is awful. I'm not rich, so not throwing my money away was a big factor in my decision. Lexus and Infiniti make a good car too, you just have to buy what's right for you.

My 2010 G37 lease was about to be over so I decided to see what car I would get. As much I loved the car, I wanted something different since the car are just the same. The new Q50 would priced much higher because it is too new and it is not out yet. So I drove all the usual suspect. the BMW 328 is so overpriced for the $. Want Sirius radio? Great, you need the $2000 plus package. Want leather? Great, here is another $3000 package. Forget it. The A4? Too small. The Es350? too much $ for what it is. Volve S60? Not sure if it is reliable. Avalon? Maybe ,but don't like the dash. Honda Ex-l V6? Maybe, but for a few extra $, you get the better appointments, drive, details, dealer experience, etc
