2005 Acura TL review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with my Acura TL since I purchased it in March 2005.
General comments?
It has ample power, solid ride, good road grip, and best of all, its style is extremely sleek and "sexy".
It does look much like the BMW 745. The new C class from Mercedes or the 330 from BMW, doesn't even come close in terms of reliability, power and style. But then again, it's all a matter of individual preference and taste.
I love my '95 C-280 too. But it had too many electronic problems from day 1. I hope the Acura will not offer me a repeat of the same treat. I don't need it.
Unlike other reviewers, I have not had any rattling noise from anywhere in the cabin. That could be due to the fact that I have less than 2000 miles on it.
Overall rating: 9.5.
Recommended improvements: 1) Front seats need to be more level for comfort. 2) Armrest needs to be closer to the driver's (full) elbow.
