I have been back and forth on purchasing a new 05 TL Auto. I currently drive a 02 325I and Love the vehicle minus the lack of real power. This car really does drive nicely compared to vehicles in the past. My problem is that I really want a car with a little more A_S. I am looking at the Antracite / Ebony setup and am curious about peoples experience with Acuras Leather?

Does the leather in these vehicles hold up over time? My 325 has 34000 miles and the leather still looks GREAT. I am also concerned about the black leather in regards to showing stuff. Don't get me wrong, I personally think this leather is the best color for the outside color.

I have worked a deal with a North Dallas Dealer that I am extremely pleased with and am just trying to figure if I will be happy with this car. Few Questions for current owners:

1. Converted from rear wheel drive to Front wheel drive and still happy?
2. Still happy with Automatic Transmission?
3. Rattles???? 05's???? Can't stand anything rattling, I am hoping they fixed some of the shortcomings by 05?
4. Tire Wear? Even?

Thanks for any responses, and wish me luck. All I have left to do is remove my hardwired Valentine from the BMW and she is ready for trade in.

 

I miss rear wheel....
Auto is ok... oil jet
share of rattles
tire wear was ok... OEM tires suck Got two sets winter and summer.
Front seat cover was replaced because the stitching was pulling apart. I was typically the only person in the car so my seat looked worn.

Get a 330 I know that is about 6-7 grand over the 325, but the A spec is about the same as the 330 price wise.
