Acura 3.2 TL just keeps getting better!!!!!Source: MSN Autos...Nice style. Fun to drive. navi is easy to understand too. Like that the windows can be rolled up after car is off and keys out. I get lots of complements. I prefer that the seats are not all leather, only the seat part is. great idea, i would rather have the durability of vinyl on the other parts of the seat that allow for less wear and tear. Cons: The only grip i would have is that the climate control gets too cold on the drivers side, I have to play with it alot to get it comfortable. No probs with the tranny so far, knock on wood. :O) Overall: A great car for a awesome price, reliable... |

Better than BMW 3 series, but not as good as TL or G35Source: MSN Autos...Overall: I am really disapointed that the 2005 model didn't offer any real improvements over the 2004 model (e.g., more horse power and improvements to interior styling). For same price, the 2005 Infiniti G35 will have 280 hp with optional AWD. The 2004 Acura TL with a 5 speed automatic and Nav System is a still better value. The TL has more horse power, more features, better interior styling, and is about 8k less than the CTS Luxury Sport Model. To make a sale, all Cadillac had to do was make some very minor interior improvements and I would have bought this car. I would have lived with the... |

Highly RecommendedSource: MSN Autos...Cons: Cons: Could use more braking and less body roll, but I'm picky. Also, more interior room would have been nice, at least for 6'2" and 220 lbs. Overall: The '01 TL will, for a long time, be a good buy for anyone in the pre-owned market. The prices on the certified cars is understandably higher, but I recommend splurging in this case. Helps ensure that you won't get a car that was abused. When looking at the ratings I assigned, understand that I test-drove an '05 TL just this weekend, and MAN it was nice. So maybe I'm being unfairly harsh on my '01! I would gladly recommend this car to my... |

Acura at its bestSource: MSN Autos...Purchased back in May 2004, my experience with the car has been excellent. The styling is still as striking as the first day I saw the car on the dealer's lot. I guess I could have gotten the 6MT, but the 5AT does a better job of shifting than I can. Highway cruising is made effortless by the well-mannered ride and the 270HP 3.2L V6. I can't begin to count the number of times where my TL reached speeds well above the posted limit. For an engine this powerful, the highway fuel economy of the TL is an unexpected surprise (avg 30 MPG @ 70-75 MPH). The interior still looks fantastic after 20K... |

CL type S: After 3 years, still a great valueSource: MSN Autos...I went out testing the new 2005 Acura TLs and Infinity G35. The TL has almost the exact same acceleration, but does not handle as well as my older Type S. Although the TL seats are good (I like supportive seats for long drives), the CL seats are much better—they wrap around you and give good lumbar support. Ive rented a lot of cars, and only Volvo makes better seats. The sound system is excellent in both CL and TL. The G35 seats and interior were not of the same caliber. Ive driven the BMWs and although they handle better, they don’t have the power, or the reliability (check Consumer’s... |
