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!

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.
