Really a great car

I bought my AWD tech Acura TL new in 2013. It now has 126,000 miles on it, and it still runs great. Really glad I bought this car. Only problem I had was the in dash key fob mount broke. I got new brakes at 70,000 miles and choose to replace the timing belt at 110,000 miles. If you buy a used one from the dealer, ask about timing belt status. It’s a $1,200 service, ouch. The AWD is amazing in the snow, and on dry roads the car handles like a go kart. Only negative to this car for me, is that it needs premium gas. Last thing, the car flies, 0-60 is posted at 5.5 seconds, but I swear mine is faster. And 30 to 80 mph is faster, great tollway cruiser.

I have had to replace the transmission twice in less than 100 K miles; they blamed my driving but it never happened in 5 previous non-Acura cars

Stay away from Acura

Acura has set new standards for using poor quality materials. My dashboard developed several large cracks after just a few days parked in my parking lot at work this summer in North Carolina. (Other than work, the car is always garaged.) The dealership claims it cracked due to maintenance(!) I own 4 other cars ranging from 1974 to 2006 & have never had a cracked dashboard. The TL has more rattles than your average new-born child. The cover over my cup-holder broke after just a few weeks. I truly wish I had bought a Lexus, BMW or Mercedes.

A great car being turned in from a lease.

The only thing I noticed that bothers me is the transmission shifts from first to second to quickly. It's better with faster takeoff. Otherwise this is a great car and I plan to lease a 2016 before the lease ends in March. I also had a 2010 TL that I loved. I leased a 2016 TLX Advance and love the car. My only complaint is the adaptive cruise control is too sensitive for my taste and delays resuming speed a bit when lane opens up in front of the car. Also at lower speeds you can feel it cut cylinders down, but that disappears at highway speeds. I've had this lease for about a year and no problems at 14,000 miles. Gas mileage ranges from over 30 on the road to 25 mixed driving. Plenty of power if needed. Great car!
