2005 Acura TL A Spec review from North America
"The car to own and drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
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.
