Top Class for Great Money
As good as the Lexus. I wanted a top class car but wasn't sure what I could get for a specific amount of money. Why buy an accord loaded when for a little more one can get the Acura which is a level above. This car should continue to be praised as one of the best cars made that rivals a BMW (overpriced for what you get). Though an Audi is great, the same level is much more money.

Can't go wrong...
Great mix of performance, luxury, quality for the money. Despite front wheel drive, torque steer not really apparent; and the car does great in wet or snow conditions.

Completely Satisfied
I upgraded to the '07 TL from a '97 3.0 CL. The car has great performance, wonderful styling, a very smooth ride, and good gas mileage for a 258 hp engine (I average about 21.5 mpg, using premium fuel, as reccomended). I also considered the Lexus ES350 and a 3-series BMW. For the price, you can't go wrong with the TL. I didn't like the fact that on the Lexus you had to pay approx $3,000 to make the ES350 similarly equipped. Same goes with the BMW. I would highly reccomend the TL!!

"I like it"
I really enjoy this car. I would really recomend it to anyone who is looking for the most features for the money. It has plenty of horsepower for the average person, yet great fuel economy. I think this car will be a good investment for the average driver.

Great car and value
After looking 6 months, my wife and I finally agreed on the Acura TL. Living up north, we wanted front wheel drive or AWD. The G35x, Altima Sedan and Coupe where in the running also and we spent time test driving those (dealer let us in the coupe as soon as one came into the area). Another option was to wait 2 more months for the 2008 CTS. Test drives in the TL and Type S, sold us on the Acura's features, drive, looks and value. We are very happy with it after a month.

The Worst Car Ever...
I seriously don't get what people are saying in these reviews. Personally, I don't think any of them compared them to BMWs, Mercedes, or Porche. I'm so glad I was able to sell my TL ASAP. It was good at first, but then after a few months of driving it was not up to its potential. The steering and handling is not even close to BMW's. My previous car was a 330i. The TL acceleration was ok, but your have to rev beyond 3000 RPMs to get a good push. That's not luxury. The balance of the car is horrible. Don't hit too many pot holes. I guess Xenon and LED brake light will make people go Ooooo! But were is the performance everyone is talking about. To anyone considering this car consider this: 1.) If you want real performance go with BMW or Porche. 2.) If you ok performance but excellent luxury go with Mercedes. 3.) If you want pretty lights and a future looking exterior that will become outdated in a couple years get the TL. BMWs are BMWs. Mercedes are Mercedes. Porches are Porches. Acura is an upgraded Accord. Accord is an upgraded Civic. Lexus is an upgraded Camry. Get my drift.

A car to trade for the same one in a couple of yea
front wheel drive handling hard to master, took me over six months, turns very quickly. AM radio only for six preset stations, FM only for twelve. Gas tank TOO small, less than 300miles per tank. Other than these three small complaints, two of which should be corrected at easily and inmediately, its an excellent car with sharp cornering, a superb motor response, sweet and precise manual transmission, excellent service at the shop, better driving and maintenance than my previous BMW,325, and over 15k cheaper than the 530i. A lot of car for the buck.

Best Luxury Sports Car
The whole dynamics of this vehicle is amazing. I test drove many other vehicles such as BMX 3 series, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS 350, Mercedes C320, etc. before purchasing a TL-S. The sweetness of pushing the gas and hearing the engine roar, the craftmanship of the exterior and interior, and the security of the latest safety features gives the Acura TL an A in my books.

Only driven for 1 week
I took my 2001 Acura CL in for service. It had a engine check light. The dealer gave me a 2007 TL as a loaner car. I am 6'3" and just didn't like the seating in the car. I found the seats in my 2001 much better. The radio was nice, but didn't sound as good as my Bose in my old car. Other than those 2 things I loved the car. The dashboard is well thought out and the car is low priced for what you are getting.
