Detailed review: |
I tried BMW 325, Lexus ES and IS, and I liked the TL the best. Ride is stiff, which is fine for a car like this that effortlessly zings around corners. Acceleration is smooth and strong at almost every speed, and automatic transmission shifts almost imperceptibly. Audio system is awesome, although DVD-Audio discs don't sound significantly better than CDs. The Bluetooth system doesn't work all that well -- microphone volume is too low (others can't hear me very well) and you can't easily dial a number from your phone's directory). Some reviewers complain about FWD oversteer, but it's not a problem to me, especially since I prefer FWD. |
