  Excellent Value - 2005 Acura TL
  By Kimbal - September 20 - 7:31 am

  Acura TL has been an excellent value in terms of reliability, solidity of chassis, fit and finish, modern design, quiet operation, power and mileage, can accelerate at any speed and has good brakes that havent require change yet in 55K+, and everyday commuting enjoyment.

  Consumer Best ??? - 2005 Acura TL
  By gomaiznblue - September 10 - 1:53 am

  After extensive research and driving, I agreed that TL was a best buy. Leather seating is impressive. However, after 5 months I am extremely disappointed in the build quality. So many rattles, I feel like I am riding with a rattle snake inside. Fun to drive, Looks great, but I cant overcome the interior noise. I didnt expect this when I bought an ACURA. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!

  No compromises - 2005 Acura TL
  By Michael Doddy - September 3 - 4:10 pm

  This is the best car I have ever owned. I can find very few compromises. The sound system is wonderful but I also enjoy listening to the engine and focusing entirely on the cars incredible performance. The fit and finish are typical Honda and above reproach. The fact that I could afford this masterpiece is the really unbelievable feature offered by Acura.

  Car of the Future - 2005 Acura TL
  By benjb53 - August 24 - 10:00 am

  After searching for a mid size luxury sedan with high technology, the Acura TL was the only vehicle that fit into this category. No Japanese, German or American car had all the features that the Acura has, especially not at the same price point. This will be my first Acura and am sure I will enjoy this car with the most up to date features-for a very long time.

  best yet - 2005 Acura TL
  By Jerry - August 21 - 6:03 pm

  Weve had 2 Acuras before this TL. It is vastly superior. Love the luxurious interior, sound system, and looks. Both wife and I like the firm handling in the corners. 32 mpg on road but 22 or so in town.

  Great Car. - 2005 Acura TL
  By Jeremy - August 9 - 11:06 pm

  I was deciding between the TSX and TL, once I drove both, there was no comparison, the TL was a bigger engine and much smoother ride. The fit and finish is also far above the TSX.

  The near perfect ride - 2005 Acura TL
  By D Brennan - July 31 - 3:23 pm

  Just about all aspects of the TL are all any enthusiast would want unless social pressure makes you buy the blue and white propellor. Power is very more than needed for a performance sedan. Brembo brakes with the wonderful 6-speed and limited slip differential are endlessly entertaining. Stereo is killer. Fit and finish are superb though thats a given with Honda. The downside. Lots of "fishheading" of the front end under heavy foot. Shouldve got the last gen. CL. Maybe next gen. will be SH-AWD. Turning circle like a Budweiser truck. Its based on the Accord- an enviable place to start- but with some of the built in compromises.

  Problems - 2005 Acura TL
  By nebbioloman - July 27 - 6:06 pm

  Simply put: The worst car experience I ever had. Brakes went @ 14,000 miles, tires @ 17,500, trouble shifting from 2nd to 3rd (transmission), wiper motor replaced, 3rd set of tires, 3rd set of brakes, recalls, numerous other headaches. to many to write about. I spent more time at the dealer than work. 17 mph city/ 20 mph highway

  Love those Acuras! - 2005 Acura TL
  By Texas Driver - July 21 - 3:53 pm

  I absolutely love this car. In fact, it is our second TL, our fourth Acura, and my daughter has now purchased her second Acura. This car is very sharp looking inside and out. On the highway, we get 33 mpg. I have not experienced any of the rattles or noise that others have noted. The ride is smooth and quiet - takes curves great. There have been no mechanical problems whatsoever. Ive had the car for three years now and am definitely an Acura fan! Acura is extremely quality conscious.

  Very nice! - 2005 Acura TL
  By Brett - July 15 - 1:42 pm

  At 3 years and over 30k miles, not a single problem, not even a bulb out. Fast, smooth, quiet, fun to drive, it gets 33 mpg at 70 mph on the highway, average is about 25 mpg. Lots of nice options, very nice looking inside and out. We have the 6 speed manual, a much different car from the auto trans ones, much quieter and smoother, as you can shift at 3000 rpm, even with lots of throttle and MOVE, while the auto trans cars want to let the motor rev up a lot (where the power is). That makes things busy and noisy compared to the manual trans cars.
