RACING SCHOOL MEETS FINISHING SCHOOL
Acura TL Reviews:
"The overall effect is that the new TL is remarkably tied down over busy, bumpy roads, shrugging off dips, heaves, and bumps in the manner of the best European cars."
“The TL is certainly a techno-geek's delight, with its all-singing, all-dancing stereo and up-to-the-minute navigation system. Aside from the items covered here, the TL has also earned a reputation for solid reliability and good resale value, two items which we expect will continue with this new model.”
Motor Trend: October 2008
“TL buyers, a loyal lot, expressed two primary wants for the new model: more rear-seat room and more performance. Though those objectives are seemingly at odds, Acura has delivered on both fronts-and more.”
“Inside the sculptural, “dual-cockpit” cabin awaits a feast of advanced technology, enough to make the commander of a Los Angeles-class submarine jealous.”
“...one of the world's most advanced navigation systems.”
Popular Mechanics: August 2008
“The standard V-6 pulls strongly, and there's no perceptible torque steer. The chassis is nicely calibrated to provide good grip as well as a smooth ride.”
“The interior of the 2009 TL has many pleasing attributes—the binnacle's styling and functionality is very well thought out. The boffins at BMW who invented the iDrive menu system need to spend a few days commuting in the TL—the controls are intuitive. We were particularly impressed with the user interface on the navigation system.”
“The all-wheel-drive system—combined with those summer 19-in. tires and firmer suspension—generates serious grip. The steering feels light and agile at lower speeds, but tightens up and inspires confidence as you push harder.”
Edmunds Inside Line: August 2008
“Jamming this TL into a hairpin doesn't upset it either. The brakes scrub off plenty of speed and the transmission executes perfect, rev-matched downshifts.”
“(on the highway) The cabin goes silent, the transmission smoothly sifts through the gears and the suspension soaks up everything short of a sinkhole.”
“Even with the optional 19-inch wheels and tires, there's minimal road and wind noise and the more aggressive steering feels more responsive, not just heavier.”
“Put it up against any midsize European sport sedan and it'll likely match it for performance, features and comfort.”
