Acura TL Type-S – Perry’s Opinion:
When it comes to my opinion of the Acura TL S-type, I just have to borrow a long-gone but appropriate phrase from the hit television show In Living Color: “HATED IT!!” It’s bad when I can’t wait to get out of a $40,000 car to get back into my Tacoma pickup, and that’s exactly what happened. Issues I have with the TL are excessive torque steer; throttle position that is on or off, with no in between; a clutch that has a narrow engagement range; and light steering. Did I mention excessive torque steer? Yes I did, but it warrants mentioning twice. There are also the millions (OK, I exaggerate) of unnecessary buttons and switches on the dash and steering wheel.
