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!

Needs premium fuel but is a great car for performance. On the highway you couldn't ask for a better ride or acceleration.

Beware 2012 Acura TL- Deficient Handling

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

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.

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!!!
