Acura TL is a smooth ride ,great family car. Must have
Having an Acura tl is an amazing experience. The car us beautiful to look at . It rides smooth and is very reliable. It fits my family of four comfortably and I have made three big road trips with it and it has been a great car overall.

Cannot go wrong - amazing car!
I love my Acura tl from the first day I test drove it. It is a classically beautiful car. Drives smoothly and it is extremely reliable. Prior to this vehicle, I owned a Honda Accord which I also loved but the Acura was a nice step up and I do plan to purchase another Acura for my next vehicle.

The best purchase I have ever mad.
My car is extremely smooth and durable in the winter months. Super comfortable and roomy. The rearview camera is a lifesaver.

2014 Acura tl. Special edition.
I have owned the vehicle for about 4 years now. I haven't had any issues thus far. It is very reliable and has yet to let me down. I do enjoy the comfort of the interior. The trunk is spacious for the vehicles size and no issues when loading multiple luggage bags in it. I would recommend this car to anyone.

The car is awesome! I am a fan of it.
My vtl is awesome. The performance is great, smooth ride, big enough to fit 5 people comfortable. Road noise is minimal.

2014 Acura tl w/tech package.
This is the most comfortable vehicle I have owned. Love the tech package, although the navigation system could use a major update. It is nice to see the street layout as I am driving but I do not use it for directions because it will usually take you the longest most ridiculous route.

It got good miles and the car runs great!
I like my car, the only problem I dislike is, it takes to much gas constantly. Also I don't like that the seats are leather they tear up easily.

Reliable fast and affordable.
The rlx flies under the radar compared with ostentatious rivals and goes down the road with its supercar-derived hybrid powertrain. Acura's low-volume luxury sedan has the basic tenants of its species—upscale features and spacious accommodations—but lacks the wow factor that we expect. Its obsolete infotainment system and generic cabin design are easy to overlook, but its solid build quality and notable fuel economy will satisfy buyers. Along with a standard v6 engine, there's a unique hybrid model that operates smoothly and accelerates rapidly. Still, the 2020 rlx is too unassuming to challenge its snazziest classmates.

Good car. Unlikely to last without issues.
Runs smooth. Car is very long and difficult to park. Enjoyable ride. Have had some issues with tires and alignment. Have had some rattling when accelerating, also had an issue with chassis while turning right but issue was fixed. Otherwise a reliable car.
accountCircle Alexandra B
Smooth and sleek ride with high performance.
Sleek vehicle but has touchy gears. Perhaps it is lack of skill in driving a standard. Overall very nice drive. Fast and smooth ride.

Fun for around town travel.
I think it is a great car. It has issues starting on cold mornings and sometimes the wipers do not work properly. Overall however? I think it does overall very well. It is definitely good for driving around town just not so much for a long distances. It tends to guzzle gas pretty quickly.
accountCircle Sophia F
Affordability with comfort.
It is very comfy and a small family car. Very affordable and suitable for the usage of people who lives alone as well as people who has family and cannot afford high end vehicle. Although not a luxury car, it does what it need to do to provide comfort and effectiveness for you and your entire family.
accountCircle Fred F
My reliable awesome Acura with seats that make me feel at home.
My vehicle runs great due to keeping up with the maintenance. A lot of people think Acuras phase out and do not last, but the performance and reliability of mine has been steady for years. Not many long distance drives, maybe a few a year, which helps. The car seats are my favorite. Comfortable and roomy. Overall a solid car.
accountCircle Anthony F
I like the way the front looks.
Problems with rear window. Front brakes needed to be replaced. Not as fast as other cars that are similar. Handles ok. Leather and interior is holding up well. Battery need to be replaced. Overall this is a decent car that has held up. It is similar to a Honda, not as fancy as other cars in its class.

Acura tl is a great family car that is fast.
The tl is a great car and fast as well. The only issue I have with it is the navigation system. It is hard to navigate through and I can use my phone much quicker and easier. The car suits my family of course very well and is good on gas mileage. I would recommend this to anyone.

Acura tl keeps me warm during the winter.
The only problem I have with my vehicle is that one of the doors cannot be opened from the inside so someone has to open it from the outside. Other than that performance wise it is great. It is reliable and the seats are very comfortable. My favorite feature is the seat warmer as it gets very cold where I live so I tend to use that feature often.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kora J.

Drives smooth, easy turns, and great on gas. The repairs were always easy and was very reliable. I drove daily for hours, never had a problem with it breaking down or the battery dying. The stereo had great sound and I loved the way the dash was set up, very accessible.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kora J.

I loved mostly everything about it, except that the cup holder cover got dirt trapped in the cracks a lot. Hard to clean. The expense of the car raised my insurance a lot for sure as well but overall it was wonderful.
