The Acura TL is a great ride. This car has over 135,000 miles on it with almost no maintenance problems. Not only is it fun to drive, but it performs well and looks great, especially the pearl white paint that I have. The moon roof is easy to use and can be used on most days even if the weather is not perfect.
Story
When the car was younger, I used to take the TL on hilly roads in the area just to test out the handling and performance because it handled regular roads with no sweat.
Pros
The sound and feeling when this car accelerates is special. Even though the 0-60 time isn't the best on the planet, the experience of hitting the gas is memorable. The seating is comfortable even in the back seat where there is plenty of room for kids or adults. The trunk has enough room for luggage unless you have four or more bags. Fuel economy has been good (over 30 MPG on the highway most of the time). The TL had a good build quality. There were only two repairs needed outside of the warranty period. Mine made it over 100,000 miles on the original brake pads (no kidding). The sound sys... (more)
Cons
The transmission can be a little rough shifting, although mine is not as bad as some owners reported (they needed new transmissions). The rear seat does not fold down flat, only a middle seat pass-through for long, skinny items too small for the trunk.

The Acura TL Type S is a beautiful sports sedan. The overall styling on the TL is very unique and I really enjoy it. Stepping into the car is a whole different experience as it is pretty luxurious with beautiful black leather perforated seats. The car is excellently engineered and rides very smooth but sporty. I liked the interior as it was very luxurious for being a sports sedan. I expected that kind of quality from a luxury sedan from a Lexus or BMW. Another bonus of the TL would be the sound system, Acura equipped the TL with a Bose system that was very crisp and clean. I can crank up the base and it was like I had an aftermarket audio system. Overall, the car was a blast to drive as it had plenty of horsepower and accelerated smoothly. Ride quality was top notch and the transmissio... (more)
Story
No fun/memorable stories.
Pros
One pro of the Acura TL Type S would be the interior. Acura is known to be similar to Honda but a bit sportier and more luxurious. The interior is equipped with comfortable perforated leather seats, sunroof, plenty of headroom, plenty of legroom and a premium sound system. Another pro of the TL would be the exterior. The TL has some very long lines on the body that just extend from the hood all the way to the rear trunk with the spoiler. Everything flows very nicely and is a pleasure to look at. Another pro is that the TL drives very well. The TL handles like a beast and is very powerful w... (more)
Cons
One con of the Acura TL Type S would be the gas mileage. Being a sports sedan, I didn’t expect great mileage but the mileage was just terrible even when I was driving cautiously. As a person that commutes daily and drives very often, the gas mileage was a huge negative factor that led me to sell the car. Another con would definitely be the repair costs. Luckily I did not have any major repairs or problems and even if I did, I would be able to fix it myself. I once took the car to an Acura dealership to get a quote on some problem and it was extremely expensive for such an easy fix. This sa... (more)

Fast service as always, the people that work there are nice and take care of you. I took my car to the dealership on the mile of cars one time, never again. It takes a really bad dealership to get you to appreciate a good one.
