Detailed review:
I leased my TL in mid March and have thoroughly enjoyed this car. The ELS stereo is outstanding. I didn't think I would care about XM radio but I use it all of the time. The car has terrific power and a great stick. However, the clutch is a bit sensitive and took some getting used to. I do prefer that the TL was all wheel drive. We drove from Chicago to St. Louis and found the seats to be really comfortable with great back support. I have had a BMW 328 convertible, and Saab 95 Aero and don't know how Acura can offer this car at the price, but I'm not complaining. If I could do it all over again, I'd still get the TL!
