I think the interior is one of the big attractions to a TL over some other makes since it's clean, functional, and semi elegant. I really like the design for cupholder with the sliding cover. I can have my coffee and cell phone parked on that thing. I also like the design for console and the gauges too.
The interior feels a little 'busy', i.e. too many collors and textures. Each piece is nicely done, but to my eyes they don't blend. When I look at my door I see a shiny black trim piece next to a piece of perforated aluminum next to different colored door material with different perforations, with contrasting material elsewhere on the door and handle. The way the glove box integrates with the dash looks a little strange to me. If I had a black interior most of those complaints would probably go away.

- The heat soak is bad. There are a few things you can do to pretty much get rid of it though.
- It's apparently been dyno proven that it robs no power. But it does make the rpms drop faster imho. Which in turn makes you shift differently.

I would say that my biggest gripe about my 04 is the fact that it has no connectivity to my Ipod or anything...that and its pretty much impossible to upgrade to any aftermarket deck. My father purchased the TL in 04 brand new and I have since purchased it from him...now I am stuck with a car that I cant stand...as there is little to no options for upgrading...I have read up on the Isimple etc but I am not wanting to rip my car apart to install...as well, I have heard of issues with software etc....UGH

Ditto on the turning radius. Given that is my ONLY complaint about my 2005TL makes it a pretty darn good daily driver.

The thing that annoys me most is that they used screws to fasten the engine air filter instead of of clips. When I got my car, the heads of 2 of the screws were already stripped and now that I want to change out the filter, I can't get it open so I think I need to get the screws replaced. If Acura had used clips then a problem like this wouldn't happen.

I came from having a 91 Accord 5MT, so this TL overall is a pleasure for me.

However, from a practical standpoint I would have liked improvements on the following:

1) dashboard quality, potential cracks near airbag compartments

2) leather seat quality, prone to early wear & tear
