  04 TL - 2005 Acura TL
  By Ice Art - May 10 - 4:56 am

  After about 1 year, several squeaks and rattles have developed in the cabin. The handling is a bit spongy around turns. Great acceleration. Awesome sound system.

  Great Birthday Gift! - 2005 Acura TL
  By akaprls20 - May 7 - 3:24 pm

  I bought my TL for my birthday and have been happy ever since. After months of researching the TSX, I checked out the TL and never looked back! I purchased mine from a private owner and got a great deal! Dont be fooled by the dealers who want you to think that you get so much more buying a CPO. More money for no reason. The owner who sold the car also had an 06 TL and said the 05 drove a little faster. Apparently there was some change in that year. Oh well, my gain!

  MPG could be improved - 2005 Acura TL
  By adhikun - May 4 - 12:40 pm

  I got the car used, at 27,500 mi. Not bad for a 2005 car. Handling is very sporty, suspension is more sporty than luxurious. MPG is pretty bad - mix driving only gets me between high teens and 21mpg.

  Acura TL - A W E S O M E - 2005 Acura TL
  By Bonnie Campbell - April 25 - 1:53 pm

  Absolutely pure fun to drive! Has the great combination of power and handling that Ive been looking for and has been more than reliable in snow and rain. No skidding, hydroplaning. Perfect feeling of safety in this car. Sound system is superior and find myself taking the longer route so that I can drive longer because I dont want to get out of the nice warm seat (bun warmer) and the great handling of the car combined with the awesome stereo sound and the XM satellite radio.

  US built, what you pay is what you get - 2005 Acura TL
  By Stephen - April 20 - 1:33 pm

  I love the fact that the TL comes with a lot of toys that you would have to pay extra if it were Lexus, Audi or BMW. The Nav system is very easy to use except you have to pay almost $200 if you want to get a updated DVD. The 5.1 sound systems is terrific except the interior integrity of the vehicle is not built to handle such great sound, after months of driving, rattle, rattle, rattle can drive you nuts! I had a 02 TL-S and they share the same problem, my friend has an 02 Japan- built GS300 and that car is still as quiet as if it were brand new. US quality is taking a dump, I aint buying another US built Acura no more.

  Awesome Driving Experience! - 2005 Acura TL
  By JBM - April 18 - 1:16 pm

  I recently purchased a 2005 TL w/nav, Black on Black (59k miles). I cant imagine a better driving experience. Great power/handling/fun/wow factor/super highway ride/pretty good gas mileage. Awesome body style that gets max attention--and thats before they get inside! Amazing features and luxury feel to sporty car with great driving characteristics. A little first gear handling issue under full acceleration, but nothing one cant manage easily.

  118000 MILES - 2005 Acura TL
  By Nobama - April 17 - 8:26 am

  Mpg hwy averages 30. City averages 26. Replaced brake pads only once at 110,00 miles. Pads still had 50% thickness from new. Other than oil and tires thats it. May replace spark plugs soon... nah its still running great. Tires are problematic. Came with Turanzas, got 70,000 on those but the tires were merely ok. Put Pilots on but only got about 35000 on those. Now have AMERICAN MADE goodyear eagle gt2 with the funky looking tread. These tires stick well but ride a bit more harshly than the others and I think one is slightly out of round. I can live with it. But theyre cheap. Got 380000 out of my last Maxima, will see if 400,000 can be hit with the TL.

  Acura TL - 2005 Acura TL
  By James S. West - April 10 - 4:40 am

  Having owned a Lexus for 6 years, I wanted the same type of build and performance quality I was used to. This model Acura had several features I liked better than the competition. After 10,000 miles, I know I made the right decision. I cant wait to get in it every morning! The quality impresses everyone that rides in it.

  Mercedes to Acura - 2005 Acura TL
  By Retired Mercedes CLK - April 9 - 9:56 pm

  Although pretty, the Navigation stinks!! Has a very wide turning radius. Seats took a little getting used to, initially felt uncomfortable and hard. Handles pretty well and sturdy for a 6 cylinder. Pick up is slow, dont expect a sports vehicle or ride. I love the aesthetic appeal both inside & outside!! Its a cute car that reminds of a BMW 3-series. Overall, I recommend for the money even over the Mercedes.

  Whatever happened to decent cars - 2005 Acura TL
  By MJL05 - March 31 - 10:24 pm

  I bought my Acura TL in September of 08, and after hearing all the positive things about them, I thought to myself that sounds like a great car to get. Dont get me wrong its not a piece of junk but since day one I have had more problems then my old car in the four years Ive had it. I recently thought of selling it or trading it for another car because the car is in the shop so often. You know all those annoying sounds you really dont like well thats my car for the most part. I bring it in the shop for a few problems and then more develop. This will be the last Acura I will buy in my life and Im only 21 thats pretty sad. Now Im losing money just to get another car not to hear the noises.
