Long lasting low maintenance car.
It's a great car. It rarely uses up oil and I use it for long distances. The only trouble I've ever really had with it is the tpms system (system for checking tire pressure) likes to go a bit crazy and stop working. But it is a very minor thing. Otherwise the engine works great. The transmission works great. I've run the car over 40000 miles and counting. Its comfortable, spacious, and even if a big bump is hit the suspension systems really helps in not feeling it as much as other cars.

It has been extremely reliable for me. I am a traveler and have driven all over and it has never had any issues in the 8 years I've owned it
It has been the most reliable car I've owned. I have never had any issues with it other than buying a new battery. It's extremely space ish and has been comfortable to travel in

Sporty looking and fun to drive!
I love the performance of my Acura. It has great features including built in GPS, the ability to store music on the hard drive, hands free cell phone use when you pair your phone, heated leather seats, and it is sporty to boot. It is comfortable even on a long drive. We have not really had any issues with it.

Long lasting car. Another thing about this car is the parts to fix are rather expensive for replacement
I like how the car has plenty of space. The car usually doesn't overheat. Has a great a/c system and engine runs lovely.
accountCircle David M
A purchase I have never regretted.
Great car with an amazing engine to match. With power at your fingertips and their super handling all wheel drive system you help you hug the road will have you feeling at the edge of your seat, but when power is not necessary it rides smooth down the road!

Very fast, has a lot of horsepower for its class.
I absolutely love my car. I bought this car used about a year ago and since then I have put on 17,000 miles. I have only been to the auto repair shop once, and it was to change my tires. I have had no problems with anything engine wise or technical difficulties. Overall a very good and reliable car.
accountCircle Tash C
Nice running vehicle. Nothing special.
I don't really have any issues, my car is a pretty good car. I would say I love it. Other than the usual wear and tear it is a decent car. I tend to keep up with maintenance and all. I cannot think of any issues that the car had caused me. In conclusion I feel my car is a pretty good car and I love it.

The most important thing about my car is the fact that it is comfortable
We shopped around and used many different sites, but the U.S. News Best Price Program was by far the easiest and least time-consuming way to get the best deal on our new pickup.

Many blind spots make it difficult to change lanes. Love the heated seats and sunroof. Drives well
It's fast and handles well. Hugs the road during turns. Never feels like it slips
accountCircle Reagan W
Technology upgrade. Navigation phone setup and radio all on the screen.
Great car, fast and smooth ride. Comfort seating and roomy backseat. Very reliable and not cheaply made. Great on gas. Navigation Sirius XM heated seats while tech package. Can link up your phone to Bluetooth and has a subwoofer in the back. Spacious and reliable car. Great technology out into a 2010.
accountCircle Isaiah W
My vehicle is fast, a smooth drive, and looks very nice exterior wise.
My vehicle has a short therefore sometimes it will not start, I am currently trying to find out what is the cause of it. Before this started occurring I loved my Acura, it was reliable and drove great. The comfort is good and the car also has GPS which can be helpful at times. Overall my Acura is a good car that needs just a little fixing.
accountCircle Hailey P
The Acura TL has a big engine, which calls for premium gas.
It's one giant computer, so when one thing goes wrong, the car goes wrong.

Great car! Long term issues.
Ac unit stopped working correctly after 9 years. It would blow hot on one side and cool not cold on the other. Also I have noticed on mine and other peoples the console leather will come off and tear eventually. Had to have mine replaced but cost from Acura was $400.
accountCircle Lintava F on March 24, 2021
Beautiful fast long lasting reliable car.
Car is great, I am at 140,000 miles, still runs perfectly. Only thing I do not like is the gas mileage. Only gets around 18mpg and uses premium gas. Not great when you are on a budget. It is reliable I have had this car for almost ten years, it is fast, has v6 engine, and is very comfortable with heated seats.
