appears to be very well made |
What Our Members Are Saying about Acura TL Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Acura TL: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 286-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Beautiful inside and very comfrotable and functional |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
See above. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Top notch. Everything as it should be for a near luxury car. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Everything fits and I find nothing that gives a "cheap" impression. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
First class throughout. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |

| Materials and Workmanship of the Acura TL: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very cheap interior, compared to 2000 TL. Fit and Finish poor, compared to Generation 1&2. Materials used are not top notch. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 286-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
After 16,000 miles and numerous trips to the dealer the car still "shakes,rattles and rolls". They blame the low profile tires which I disagree with. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The rear bumper was crooked from the day it was brought home and needed to be fixed by the dealer. The dash got wavy and needed replacing before 12,000 miles. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Rattles that the dealer cannot or will not fix |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 258-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Both TLs I drove had only 30k miles on them, and were cared for, but interior had little squeaks here and there. Also, leather interior on these cars looks ragged after a few years, none of the older TLs leather held up even when cared for... |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.2L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Rattles. |
