great vehicle (minus the grill) LOLSource: MSN Autos...great car for a not so bad price. acura definately makes quality over quanity. speed, handling, safety, and fun to drive. i love the TL's. Cons: acura what were thinking when you made that front grill, LOL. its awful. Its the only flaw on the vehicle but it's an enormous flaw. that design really needs to be changed for the 2010 model. Overall: if u can get over the not so attractive front grill and see the car for what it is, you will be very pleased. it's definately a car worth looking into... |

Acura TL - One Awsome Package!!Source: MSN Autos...FWD (not a big deal for me but would prefer RWD or AWD) Overall: I have owned my Acura TL now for 18 months now (I have the 2004 model) and it is simply the best car I have ever owned. I have owned a lot of cars over the past 10 years, and none have come close when comparing the total package and awesome value of the Acura TL. Before I bought my TL, I test drove several others including the Infiniti G35, BMW 3 and 5 Series, and Saab 9-3. Not one of these other vehichles offered the same level of comfort and value as the TL in one total package (no, not even the Bimmer!!) Fit , finish, and... |

Better Than My AudiSource: MSN Autos
...Pros: This vehicle drives like a dream. I went shopping for another Audi A6 , but left because the salesperson was condescending and rude. |

2010 Acura TL (AT, Tech, 18 wheels)Source: MSN Autos...Cons: The aluminum trim takes a bit of getting used to and the voice recognition doesn't always work how I want it to - but I think it's a learning curve on my end. My husband HATES the front badge, I kinda like it (and its my car), but we agree that it looks best in dark colors (mine is black on black). Strongly recommend the tech package and the 18" wheels look best (although they ride a bit more harshly and will cost more to replace). Higher grade fuel is pricey. I wanted to drive/compare an AWD model - but they didn't have it in the color scheme I wanted - and I really don't need it... |

Luxury Sport SedanSource: MSN Autos...May be all wheel drive does not have this problem, but the front wheel definately does. I like the fact that it is long and spacious. But that also makes cornering and parking little difficult. Another thing that I don't like about the car is its music system. The bass is not at all powerfull. Overall: Overall it is a very good car. I test drove all three elite German(A4, 330,C300), but found this one as the best match when evaluated on the following traits. 1. Features offered 2. Power 3. Handling 4. Interior Space 5. Seating Comfort 6. Safetly 7. Maintainance Cost 8. Reliability I would... |

Great car for overall balanceSource: MSN Autos...But this car was a value play - $5+ K cheaper than competitors, so it's okay. Overall: This is not a true sports sedan, but has some key sporting characteristics, all while having a level of comfort and refinement. It's great on the highway, you don't have to constantly adjust the steering. Driving it around town, it just feels right, and the steering isn’t so tight that it is very easy to maneuver. I’ve driven a lot of other cars (including, BMW, MB and Lexus), and the TL is the perfect overall balance for me for 9/10 of my driving. Most professional car reviews speak to other 1/10, and... |

'09 TL SH-AWD -- you'll love it!Source: MSN Autos...Finally, the OEM tires are marginal for a performance car like this... will put on some Potenzas (or similar) soon! Overall: Before buying, I drove all the major comp, & while each "beats" the TL in some areas (such as that race-car feel of the 335 when you stomp on it), no other offers as much overall perf, comfort, driving feel, quality & value. I actually love the look of the car and have no issues with the "beak" most complain about... it really does look better in person and grows on you. I've never owned a car before where so many people commented on how great it looks. Can't go wrong... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Audi A4, also new in 2009, is a front-biased, all-wheel-drive-biased sedan just like the TL, but Audi goes to great lengths to move its mass rearward and successfully crafts it into a sportier, more engaging drive.
BMW's 3-Series is the benchmark for the class due to its fantastic ride/handling combination, but it's not as roomy and doesn't offer the same dollar-for-dollar value.
The Cadillac CTS presents as strong a styling statement as the TL, yet does so in a more appealing way; its well-sorted, rear-wheel-drive chassis, great powertrains, and sumptuous interior complete the CTS's compelling package.
Looking somewhat outside the traditional box and starting in the low $30,000 range, yet with an interior that's sized within inches of a Mercedes S550, the rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis sedan is the clear value leader here, but soft handling means it won't win the driver's vote.
The Volkswagen Passat also brings strong value and a stylish interior to the table, but like the TL, its front-wheel-drive setup doesn't give it the performance many buyers are seeking.
