I'm happy with my TL

Almost 2500 miles on the TL and I have to admit I am happy, and I'm very hard to please. The car is rattle and problem free. I have just figured out the whole bluetooth deal and enjoy it very much. The XM radio was the biggest pleasant surprise. The car handles great and there is decent power. I got the auto, so I find that I drive much less aggressively than I would a standard. This is my first auto. I must admit that the car looks so good. Every single time I see it I'm like "damn thats hot!!" I have the anthracite ebony!!

My last car was a 2004 Volvo S60R, 300 horse with AWD, so it was a bit of an adjustment getting used to the torque steer. My only gripes right now would be the much worse than expected gas mileage, a stereo that lacks umph, and uncomfortable, non hugging seats. Value wise I don't think this car can be beat!!

Other good things would be rims that seem to stay clean with minimal brake dust build up, great heated seats, nicely placed cup holders, and fantastic headlights.

congrats, glad you are happy.

My first rattle started at 3,500 in the driver's door and it is pretty loud. Then my check engine light turned on a 4,200 and won't turn off. So give it some time, there is still hope your TL will have problems...LOL
