2013 Acura TL SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Advance Package (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
8 of 29 people found this review helpful
Purchased a New Acura AWD Sport package 2012 TL. The purchasing process was exceptional. A Two hour drive home was a disaster. The new TL front end shimmied and pulled to the left. I took it to local Acura dealer because unsafe to drives. They balanced the tires, charged me $50. Brand new vehicle. Returned to original dealer to fix left drifting on interstate highways. They checked said all was in spec. Drove two hours back and it still drifted left. Took videos, took it back. They recommended different tires for over $900. Same problem. Requested to escalate with Acura. No response. Finally I elected to trade in 2012 AWD TL before I was seriously injured.
What a piece of heavy junk!!!

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!!!

2013 Acura TL SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

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.

Great semi luxury sedan

"Semi" luxury. It's not in the same category as a Mercedes or Lexus, but close. I owned 4 Benz's over the years and this is not bad in comparison, esp for the difference in money. I bought mine new as a dealer demo car for a big discount. It's a TL base model, no SH-AWD. There's decent room for 4 adults, and good tech for the year. I now have 80K miles (As of '22) and have had few problems. Alternator died at about 50K miles, and I just did a major brake job, but nothing else except regular maintenance. The thing that keeps me from buying something new is the performance. The off the line acceleration is excellent - as good as any car I've owned except my '02 C32 AMG, which was 350HP. You will rarely get beat at a stop light. And it keeps pulling hard up to 100MPH. Also very good brakes. For a ~ 3800lb car, it also handles very well. It's truly a "sports sedan". Want to go fast up a winding road - go for it! There are paddle shifters to add to the fun. It's no Miata, but not dull either. My big beef is no folding rear seats. Why not? The trunk is also quite small, so folding seats would make it so much more practical. There is a small pass through for skinny things like skis. As a used car, I would say this is a bargain as they should go in the $10K - $15K range with plenty of life left. If you want something that is a lot more fun to drive than a Lexus ES350 (My Mom had one) this is a way better choice.
