2005 Acura TL Reviews

I was going to buy a brand new 2008 Honda Accord Coupe, at about 30k. I could have had a V6 with navi.

Instead I bought a used TL with navi for 14k. Having 92000 on the odometer was a bit concerning, but damn, this car runs so smooth and it look so nice with the A-Spec package on it.

Nothing gone wrong so far, still getting 20mpg average.

Transmission seems to be smooth, even though at times with AC on, it seems like the car lurches a bit when I am trying to come to a complete stop. It doesn't do it all the time, but it's something so minor that it doesn't bother me too much.

So far this is the car I actually enjoy driving the most compared to my previous cars, including 92 LS400, 87 Corvette Conv, 98 Accord Coupe, and many others since 1983, when I got my license.

If you like this car and always wanted to buy it, just buy it, it's a great car.

Don't listen to these stories about tire wear and vibration deals.

My car with 95000 miles feels almost like a new car, except for the smell of it.

4 Transmissions in the first 30K miles.

Seats have started to wear badly at around 8K miles.

Navigation system reset on me 10 times while driving.

You can't drive down the road without rattles!!

CD's got stuck in the stereo!

Heat shield chirps when driving 50mph+!!

Bi-Xenon headlight wore out in the first 8k miles!

Horn does not work, even after 3 repair attempts!!

There's plenty more, if you want any more info, please feel free to email me at ClairAcuraSucks@gmail.com.

Rattle Box on wheels! It's a great price because they use the cheapest materials out there, and the quality of the build isn't all that great either. Too much torque steer, too much body roll, too many problems!!

I have had to take my TL to the dealer multiple times to check on the rattling, wearing out of leather in the center arm rest and internal noise.

I love my car except for the issues with cheap construction. The dealers are very responsive, but you'd think that when you buy a luxury car, you won't have to deal with the issues mentioned above. I'm not sure I'd buy another acura.
