Love my TL!!
It is hard to pick my favorite, but since that is the topic of the thread---have to go with....its mine!!!!
Jennifer has 21 thousand miles and no rattles. It feels like I'm having an affair, but the funny part is my wife loves the car too. What could be better then that, my wife loves the lady I am having an affair with :-)
Great styling, power, price.
later,
Josie

Cruisin'
I like the way the undergarments of those in the passenger seat seem to slip off more easily. Whenever I accelerate out of a corner the g forces leaves the cotton near the ankles.

Does not read directions well
I can't think of much I don't like about the car. I bought a 2005 Certified 6MT, and while the brake light cover is loose and HFL has made an idiot out of me, I love this thing nonetheless. I just totalled an S2000, so this is completely different in every way. For some reason, though, this car has made it really easy to get over the S.
My favorite parts (they go together) are the dual zone/mode climate control and the heated seats. I love the temp frigid, and my wife wants it three ticks from a sauna. The combo here allows us to have exactly what I want.

The thing I like best is that the cruise control is ON all the time!!! I didn't know anyone did that anymore, except for (brrrr) GM.
Every other car I've had - German and Japanese - you had to push a button every time you got in the car to turn on the friggin' cruise. And since I use cruise about 50 thousand times a day, it was the second I did everytime I started the car.
But to my surprise, the TL's cruise is always ON!!! YAY!

looks 
Which is why I picked it over the 3 series and the G35 sedan
Fine, the 3 series may handle better, and the G35 might be more powerful, but they're both pretty boring looking cars (IMO) Not to mention how unstylish the interiors are for both cars

I like the memory seat/mirror settings. Most cars have it now and days but my last car I drove didn't have it. Its comforting to know that if someone uses my car, my setting will still be there when I drive it.

Incorrect. The car is designed with Japanese blueprints and the powertrain is composed of 80% Japanese parts. The US assembly is overseen by Japanese Engineers living in the US. Do your research! As for as your rattles go, clean the wax out of your ears, close the windows, turn off the stereo, and get honest. Happy rattlin'.
But back to topic. I love the 6Spd manual package.

I gotta agree with the other guy. The car itself is made in America for the America. TLs only sold in north america. No where else. Although i take TL over any other honda, I still would rather have it japan made. One reason why TSX is about same price, even though its considered lower lever, is because its completely japanese made. On a good side though, Tls parts are far cheaper than perhaps TSX or RSX, just because its made in america.
But back to topic. I love the 6Spd manual package.

You do realize that the last post was in 2006?
Since I'm here, I love the body lines of the TL.

I have 80k on my 04 and I have no rattles. The best part for me is how it looks, oh and when I do things like accelerate on the highway, oh and the stereo system...
