I traded in my 2008 528i for a 2015 TLX v6 with the tech package, after looking at BMW's and MB. I am really enjoying the TLX. It drives as well as the new (post 2012) 5 series - which are less fun than my old 2008 - and it holds my family and my 6'1" son better than the new C-class (which is an amazing car, just too small). However, when you compare the MSRP of the TLX against similarly equipped German cars, you easily save $20K or more. Yes, the TLX isn't perfect - crisper handling would be nice, but overall, the value for money factor on this car is amazing. We'll send the kid to college for a year on what we saved and have fun driving him there to boot.

The Acura TL seats five and has a quiet interior. All TL sedans have leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a moonroof. Available features include heated and ventilated front seats, as well as sport seats with larger side bolsters in all-wheel-drive models. Both seat styles are comfortable and supportive, and there’s sufficient head- and legroom in both rows.
