  Bought the car used with 120k one owner,Ive had for a year now and it drives like its show room condition! The orginal owner never took it in for any problems during warranty. 4 door sedan with good muscle power. Japanese know how to build cars, thats for sure! I love my TL.

  6 years and counting - 2005 Acura TL
  By Naval Air - November 28 - 2:00 am

  As a retired Naval Aviator, I have a sincere appreciation for performance, reliability and “fit”. I purchased my 2005 TL new with the assumptions that it would provide years of performance and have the road manors to handle long trips without rattling my old bones. Actually, the car has surpassed those expectations and is categorically the best car I’ve ever owned. It has some inherit limitations involving wet or snowy road conditions that may challenge even an experienced driver, but overall it’s a keeper.

  Awesome Ride - 2005 Acura TL
  By sjd94975 - November 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought my TL new and after doing a bit of specializing, had the stock rims dipped in black chrome, drove off the lot & only return when its time for regular maintenance. I love this car, its sophisticated styling inside & out still make it a head turner 5 years in. It handles great and is very responsive when you need to get going. The large screen Navi is great, XM feature w/ awesome 6 speaker stereo sound, voice command features incl bluetooth cellular...this car has it all. I think my 2005 looks is better than the 2011 I see at the dealership. Never regreted this purchase...ever!

  Best Acura Ive owned - 2005 Acura TL
  By GK20TH - October 10 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car in July of 08 with 33000 miles on it. I love this car and all its features. I have owned several Acuras and Hondas in the past and this TL is by far the best. The only issue I have had is the drivers side window seems to rattle but I understand this is a common problem. I recently replaced the tires with some that were highly recommended on a tire website and I think it has made a major difference with the drive ability of this car. Acuras seem to hold up so well, they have qreat fit and finish.

  Great Car - 2005 Acura TL
  By Cornel - September 13 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this TL in April. Love the car with only one real complaint. The Seats are hard to keep clean.. The dye from jeans bleed right into the leather. The seats are tan so they look dirty. Other than that this is a wonderful car.

  Best car Ive ever owned, hands down. - 2005 Acura TL
  By ScootrNC - July 29 - 4:26 pm

  Purchased used with 19.5 k miles, ULEV rated (were available for sale in CA and upper New England at the time). Ive put about 34 k miles on it and it has performed flawlessly for the 3.5 years Ive had it. No repairs, rattles or anything negative over this period. It IS tire-sensitive. Now Im using Bridgestone Serenity series and the ride is smooth and quiet, havent noticed any significant tire wear for 20+ k miles. Its fast and fun to drive. I am familiar with the BMWs and yes they handle well, but the TL is right up there with them IMHO. TL is a little quieter than many of BMWs (especially wind noise at speed). At 70 mph, gives about 31 mpg but I dont punch it much.

  Pass on the 05 TL - 2005 Acura TL
  By Missed on this one - July 23 - 12:53 pm

  If you are considering purchasing one of these vehicles I would suggest passing. Build quality, particularly interior components, is very poor, many squeaks, rattles, very un Honda like. I cant keep tires on the car. With 40K on the car, I am now on my third set. Although this is more sporty than the earlier version, ride quality is harsh, the car sits too low to the ground and is just not well built. I am a loyal Acura/ Honda owner however I cant recommend this car.

  Pros and Cons - 2005 Acura TL
  By PL - May 27 - 4:04 pm

  Bought this car with 31,000 miles on it.It has been fun to drive. I commute and now have 99,000 miles. My only complaints are 1) tires wear out quickly and are expensive, 2) same as one other reviewer, my passenger window sometimes wont go up smoothly, 3) its so low to the ground that you can injure it easily with road hazards, 4) premium gasoline $$$.

  Only one thing bad is the turning! And original tires are bad too.

  150k and drives/looks like new - 2005 Acura TL
  By kp28217 - March 12 - 9:30 pm

  What can you say about a car with 150K miles that doesnt have a rattle or squeak, everything works perfectly and drives like new? 33 MPG on highway and averaging 28 in combined driving. The interior still looks new. Impressive car given the mileage and age. Very pleased and would highly recommend. Best stock stereo Ive had. Better than BOSE in Infiniti and Harmon Kardon in my BMW.
