Will have had mine one week this Friday. Went on a 150 mile trip 1st weekend, smooth quiet power up hills and passing is no problem, still learning to manage all the features of the navigation and hands free commands, but this car rocks!

Sales kinda speak for themselves. Mine is one month old yesterday, 1500 miles, 0 problems as expected. Third Acura product, probably sixth or seventh Honda/Acura.

Not perfect but...

The car isn't perfect, nothing is. There are a few things that might have been done differently, or at least I'd have changed, but overall I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Absolutely no problems in 4 months and about 2500 miles. This is the finest automobile I have ever owned and believe me I've owned plenty. It is also the most expensive but my wife and I figured we would treat ourselves, we haven't been disappointed.

I have had the car for around 13 months and I've been to the dealership at least once a month to have something fixed/replaced...It's very disappointing to pay $40k and get this type of quality, but I guess it's just my luck since my car is among the few that has problems

However, the TL is one of the best cars on the road and I love all the features that it has...Even though I've been through a lot over the past year or so, I still love the car

Purchased my Anthrocite TL in 11/04 and was very, very pleased at first. Now, I can't stand driving the POS. It vibrates at 65+ (and no, its not a "normal" vibration as you can see my hands shake on the steering wheel), I have the 1500 - 1800 bogging/drivetrain issue and my recalled transmission whines (more than me on this post...). I have an early build, VIN: ...0005xx.

I'm so bummed that my car has all these problems and I'll NEVER purchase an Acura/Honda product in the first year of production again.

After the dealer fixed the rattles at the driver door bin, noisy front brakes, and clicking sound from the headliner around the overhead map area on the driver side, I am thoroughly enjoying the car and music

Sorry you got one of the practice ones. I understand we have pretty good 'Lemon' laws in CA. Have you considered building a paper file and making them give you a new one?

No Regrets

Have not regretted the decision to purchase the TL.

It is, imho, one of the best looking automobiles on the road today.

Proud to be an owner.

22k miles. I've had the first, second, and now third gen TL's and I can tell all of you that Acura out did themselves with this machine and the Navi has done more then pay for itself.

I've owned many cars over the years, but I've got to say this one is the best in most aspects. As far as value to money I don't think it can be beat.

I'd buy a second when the wife's Infiniti goes down, but I like variety.

What a complete package of a car. Not many on the market standard with just about every conceivable option the auto industry has to offer. One strange rattle in the overhead map light area. Occasionally it is there and noisy, but most of thetime it is generally quiet. Only other thing is sometimes I wish the suspension was a bit softer, but that is not a problem with the car! Overall, very impressed and satisfied.

Bob

love it still after 6 months and 8000 miles. Nothing wrong or annoying with it so far. There are a lot of examples like this out there...nothing but happiness.
