2005 Acura TL review from North America

With 100 miles on the odometer the rear bumpers paint started peeling. This is not uncommon for alot of 04 and 05 TL's. In less than 48 hours the dealer re-painted the entire bumper and now with 9000 miles its flawless.

In my 15 years of driving everything from new Accords to BMW's I have never been so much in "love" with a car as I am with this 05 TL. Hands down it is the best looking car (in and out) I have ever owned. The car is very quick, handles great, stops on a dime and has a lot of great standard features.

I can write a book on what I love about this car, but I will narrow it down to just a few of my favorites. The navigation system is so accurate and easy to use its scary! The DVD audio system is everything I could ask for. Blue-tooth on incoming/outgoing calls is always crystal clear. And the list goes on. All for $36K with taxes and all over fees I couldn't ask for anything else. Because of how impressed I am with this car Acura has gained another customer for life. I'm almost certain I will not own any other brand of car in the future other than Acura. If you are in the market for a car priced similar to this one take the TL for a test drive during the day and at night. Oh and unless you are going to floor the gas pedal and red-line the engine on a daily basis ignore all the negative comments relating to this cars front wheel drive platform. For a car packed with so many features at such an amazing price the issue of torque steer should be irrelevant. Keep up the great work Acura!!!
