  Fantastic Touring Car! A Screaming Bargain! - 2013 Acura TL
  By knr5 - August 2 - 2:14 am

  After 10 years of Infiniti G35 sedans (2003 and 2006 models, 6MT), I switched to Acura SH-AWD with the Technology Package (the only configuration I could get manual transmission!) in late March, 2013. The TL gives up a little of the visceral,sporty feel of the G, but gains in overall refinement and all weather capability. The TL is is a substantially larger car (6" longer, and 4" wider than the G), and hence feels less tossable than the G. However, it has very fine handling and a composed ride. I love my car, it has been absolutely trouble free, and feels extraordinarily competent. It is a compellingly good value in the upscale segment.

  Dollar-for-dollar best car on the market - 2013 Acura TL

  Ive owned a number of luxury cars over the years, but this TL provides the best experience per dollar spent than any other car Ive owned.

  2013 TL SH-AWD Tech package (Black on Black) - 2013 Acura TL
  By defielding - December 6 - 2:15 pm

  Incredible value for the money and also exhilarating performance. The car is beautiful inside and out. I waited until October and got the AWD and Tech package TL for the same price as a base model! I tend to keep my cars for many years (buying, not leasing). Down the road, the maintenance and repair costs of Acuras competitors would prove prohibitive in comparison. Order all the features this car includes with the tech package and the TLs competitors price goes way out of this ball park.

  TL Special Edition. Great Upgrades for the money. - 2013 Acura TL
  By mrminsky1 - July 25 - 5:07 pm

  My 2010 G37 lease was about to be over so I decided to see what car I would get. As much I loved the car, I wanted something different since the car are just the same. The new Q50 would priced much higher because it is too new and it is not out yet. So I drove all the usual suspect. the BMW 328 is so overpriced for the $. Want Sirius radio? Great, you need the $2000 plus package. Want leather? Great, here is another $3000 package. Forget it. The A4? Too small. The Es350? too much $ for what it is. Volve S60? Not sure if it is reliable. Avalon? Maybe ,but dont like the dash. Honda Ex-l V6? Maybe, but for a few extra $, you get the better appointments, drive, details, dealer experience, etc

  All wheel drive, manual 6 speed, 305hp, comfort, not a comuter car as far as gas mileage, love it smooth and quiet, great stereo, would be better with 75 more hp.

  Amazing car for the price. - 2013 Acura TL
  By dcstriker25 - April 26 - 2:57 pm

  I have had this car for a couple months after trading in a S5 for a more family orented sedan. I looked into the A6, and Lexuss but felt they were to pricey, when a collegue told me to look into the TL. I was shocked when I looked into the price on the fully loaded TL AWD compared to the the comparible lexus(Power wise) and A6 (size and power), A4 was to weak of an engine. The sticker might have been 46k but I was offered the car for 40,650 + 1,500 cash for trading in the car. The car was great inside and outside styling was much improved over the 2009-2011. The car drives smooth, tech features are great, and AWD works extreamly well in the NE winter.

  After searching many I chose TL - 2013 Acura TL
  By damonpod - April 19 - 10:59 am

  I test drove BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Acura, volvo, Audi, Cadillac, Hyundai and a few others before making my final decision. I honestly didnt consider Acura a luxury brand until I drove one! I narrowed it down to Lexus ES and Acura as both offered the best deal for the money. I am tall so BMW, mercedes and audi were cramped. After test driving the Acura TL several times I was hooked. The acceleration, interior styling and cabin room were second to none. The sound system is tremendous, and the Technology package works with ease. My dealership experience at Mungenast was the best dealership experience I have ever had when buying a car. Had the car for 3 months and no problems to report so far.

  Spectacular - 2013 Acura TL
  By ijkmno - March 24 - 9:33 am

  This is an astonishingly good car. The AWD technology gives it remarkably precise handling (and Ive owned Porsches and BMWs). The engine is agile and powerful. The sport setting on the transmission allows for tightly-wound driving without a bunch of shifting. The interior appointments are first-class (excellent sound and nav systems). The combination of performance, features and price makes this car a great value for a drivers car.

  Worth Every Dollar! - 2013 Acura TL
  By wisconsinfire - March 5 - 11:25 am

  Im uncertain if people are trying to compare this car to a Ferrari or to their 1974 Gremlin at times. For what this car was designed for it is amazing. Superior comfort, amazingly refined lines, cornering like a race car, and get up and go that doesnt like to sit at 25-35 MPH. Quick stopping, average MPG, and definitely a head turner. The sound system? Well after hearing DVD Audio with DTS 5.1, the XM sounds like AM. Love this car so much I dont want to get out of it!

  2013 TL AWD-SH w/Advanced PKG - 2013 Acura TL
  By thehonesttruth - March 1 - 6:41 pm

  Ive only had the car for about a month (900 miles), so commenting on reliability, etc. is impossible. Given Hondas track record though, Im sure its excellent, especially when compared to cars in its class. I know from what Ive been told and read, BMWs, Mercs, and Audis are somewhat unreliable and extremely expensive to repair. Furthermore, resale value on all of them is awful. Im not rich, so not throwing my money away was a big factor in my decision. Lexus and Infiniti make a good car too, you just have to buy whats right for you.
