What Our Members Are Saying about Acura TL Materials and Workmanship

Available Features of the Acura TL: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

Materials and Workmanship of the Acura TL: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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...
