As this is Acura’s flagship in terms of sport sedans, the TL Type-S leaves something to be desired. Sure, the suspension is stiff, the 235/45R17 Bridgestone Potenza rubber does a good job of maintaining grip, and the brakes are up to snuff even after plenty of abuse, but there are an equal number of counterpoints. The steering, though responsive and characterized by plenty of road feel, can be too responsive in mid-turn, causing a mild case of oversteer. Torque-steer is always a concern, and makes this TL feel downright unruly at times. Add a stiff ride into the mix, and you’ve got a sport sedan that’s short of finely-tuned.
