What feature do you like the MOST about your car???
I know the TL is filled with "goodies", but what is ONE thing that just makes you go "WOW, THIS IS THE BEST!!!"???

Please do not list multiple answers as it would destroy the whole purpose of asking this question...

Personally, the best feature is the Voice Control...The reason why I chose this feature is because you can control quite a few things in the car just by the voice and that is very neat!!!

Too many cool things to pick just one, but for now I'll go with the voice commands.

Of all the goodies in the TL... I have come to appreciate how much easier the Navi makes life for you. Period.

The beautiful dash, the ultra-smooth auto transmission, the handsome styling and the quiet cabin.

the 270... power to blow people away at intersections, and keep them at bay up to 150mph.

Vroom Vroom factor.

I like the exhaust note, the XM and I'm sure I'll love the VSA now that winter is coming to northern Ohio.

Everything that has to do with the driver's experience. Who cares what other people see like me blowing by , my HID's in their rear view mirrors, or the "WOW I wish I had one of those" stares .

For me, it is undoubtedly the 270 hp. I can now change lanes at my will and not at somebody else's!

What I like the best... the appearance on the outside. I always find myself turning around to look at the car when I'm walking away from it; or parking in a spot where I can stare at it from inside the office, resturant, etc.

I'm really glad there's a positive thread going on here, I almost didn't buy a TL due to all of your complaining, but then did anyway, and love it.

My favorite thing is when you say "find the nearest gate of hell" and it says back "finding chinese food"

Well, I just picked my '05 5AT up from the dealer yesterday afternoon, so I have not had a TON of time to play with it yet (but I set today aside for just that!)...but...

I'd have to say so far the touch screen nav/stereo controls

Not seeing a car like mine very often. Only two dealers in the whole state and the closest one is 125 miles away.

There's only one dealership in my city, and it almost never has any TLs in stock... when I got mine, there was a waiting list three months long at the rate the dealer got TLs in, which was one per month. I bought mine from a dealership a couple hundred miles away.

There are several '04 (or, I guess now... possibly '05s) in my area, but mine is the only RRP with a wing spoiler I've seen yet.
