Here is a list of what I like about our TL:

1) Shape (Aero dynamic-very sharp looking car)

2) 270hp V6 Vtec power (Very smooth ride and the car pulls whenever you want to)

3) Interior (Love the blue lights with Aluminum/Carbon Fibre finish and very spacious)

4) Lots of Gadgets (Such as bluetooth, auto mirror tilt, love the sound of the alarm beep, Auto mirror dim, dual climate control, seat memory that works w/your remote, Speed windshield-wipers sensors, and too many to list)

5) HID lights (A very colorful (blue, white, purple tint) display for oncoming traffic)

6) Stiff sporty suspension (Very impressive response for a sport sedan)

7) 17x8 inch Wheels (Would love if it came with 18's but 17 is sweet for stock)

8) Multi-Info Display (I use it alot to track down on my speed/MPG/Gas/Oil life etc.

9) Good security system that has built in Imoblizer and comes with hood and trunk pins. (Most OEM car alarms from my friends don't come with it. Yes again, love the beep of the alarm).

10) DVD-A sound system (Sound is better than most luxury car sedans I have experienced)


I can write more but those are what really sold me to buy the car!!!!

Its a small thing, but I thought it was clever - The one-touch MAX ILLUMINATION switch

I can barely here the beep. I like the tone, but just wished it was a little louder.
with all of your other points though. This is one awesome car!

WOW, everyone before my post has echoed my sentiments, too. SO much to like and SO little to find fault with. I mean, for a performance luxury sedan in the mid-$30's price range, this is just about as good as you're gonna find.

I suppose the one thing that just keeps putting a smile on my face time after time and EVERYTIME I drive this car is how the engineers managed to tune such great throttle response into this engine and the ECU and with a small V6 at that. I hope the rest of you have the kind of throttle response I do because if you do, you'll know exactly what I'm saying. It's so good, that sometime I go for as much as 2 weeks between times I nail the throttle. Which makes it all the more fun because when that happens, it's like, "Holy crap.. this thing actually does crank".

Yep, I pick throttle response.

I went from a 1989 Honda Civic DX, to a 2004 TL.... I can actually merge on the highway now without putting my life in danger.

Styling is the thing I like best about my car, I rarely walk away without looking back and smile.

To JetJock;

Amen. I do the same. The really great thing is the fact that this car looks good from every angle and doesn't have that "jelly bean" appearance from the side. Great job from the styling department.. just a super looking car.

I always look back when it's in the lot under a light....gotta love that feeling. And one other thing, it's so quiet inside........

The styling.... It's retro, it's modern, it's exotic and Formula One all at the same time.
It's perfect right out of the box: You don't even have to buy aftermarket rims to make it look good!!!

Voice control is my favorite, to be able to jump to any track on any one of the six disc is awesome. Especially w/ DVD-Audio where you can have like 30 tracks on a disc, jumping to track 25 directly w/o pushing buttons till sundown is cool.

270HP = 140 MPH and wanting to go faster for more....Felt like a bullet shot out of a 50mm cannon........DAMN!!!!

Until I get my Treo650 with bluetooth, it has to be the amazing DVD Audio and XM stereo system.

i love A LOT of things about the TL

1) The Voice Activated Navi ( so many voice activations you don't need 411 or Fingers anymore lol)

2) Style of the TL (its just so stylish one of the nicest looking sedans on the market)

3) 270 HP (that is catching up to the NSX which isn't fast at all compared to the TL)

4) Interior Styling (the black leather and the comfortable seats and the leather steering wheel along with the leather shift knob...so stylish)

5) Bluetooth (one of my favorites, its so easy to use once you pair but it has a long way to go until it gets AMAZING...stupid firmware)

6) Sound System (who can be an ELS 5.1 Sound System with 8 Speakers...thats crazy...the only one thats better theat ive seen is the BMW sound system which has 12 speakers not too shabby)

7) I Love the blue interior Lighting...( one of my favorites im gonna replace some of the other interior lights with blue lighting)

8) HID-Headlights (this is the future of headlights in every car :-) )

9) Memory Seats (been waiting for those)

ooh...i feel like letterman

THE BEST FEATURE...THE ONE I LOVE MOST
10) When you press unlock...and press it again while holding it down...the WINDOWS AND THE MOONROOF ROLL DOWN...i love it!!!

A-SPEC with the Michelin Pilot A/S rubber.
It absolutely transforms the handling to the likes of a 5 Series.

Oh, the quiet subtle rush of power. Of course, when you hit 4500 rpm, it ain't so subtle anymore.
