 Comments

 Favorite feature:

270hp, auto up windows, sat radio,

 Least favorite feature:

Needs auto on/off headlights, trunk valet lockout, CHANGE DRAWER on the left hand side like Hondas have, needs a few more inches legroom in the back, the 'grips' on the cupholders make it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get certain cups out without cracking them!!

 Advice to buyer:

Now that they have been out for almost a yr and the demand has subsided, dont pay full sticker like I had to last year when they were just released.

 Detailed review:

Traded my 2002 EXV6 Accord for the TL almost immediately on 10/31 when I went to look at a TSX. I chose this car bec. it was larger than the TSX, but I still got the QUALITY mfg. that Acuras are known for. There is no comparing this car to many other makes. I traded it in just recently on a SUV, but Im now shopping for a 2nd car and I think Ill buy this car again--this time only with NAVI. I would like a BMW 3, but have heard horror stories about maintenance and reliability. I dont want to spend 35K-40K+ on a car that may give me problems, but I feel certain the TL will give me many years of problem free service. This car supercedes a BMW 3 series by leaps and bounds--and has more STANDARD options like auto trans, sunroof, quality leather, larger interior and exterior, BIGGER 270hp engine vs. 225hp, SATELLITE RADIO installed and ready to listen, etc. etc for 5-10K LESS!
