Favorites: Great looks, great design in and out, great economy, great emissions, great performance, great power, great braking, great handling, great interior volume, great safety, great quality, luxurious, sporty, with 4 doors. One of the easiest to use navigation systems which is both touchscreen and operable in motion (rarity nowadays) and bluetooth. Every TL is loaded with every necessary option. Best car in America with the least compromises. Most unbeatable value in the USA.

Unfavorites: Vibration/harshness at low rpm/idle, large turning cicle, front wheel drive (instead of AWD), sportshift is very slow, disappointing ELS sound system, Navigation system colors fonts and resolution, poor quality of leather (2004-06), easily marred plastic etc. makes the interior wear very fast, paint mismatch with bumpers, wish we had cooled seats and heated rear seats, no backup camera (2004-06), No XM traffic (2004-06)

 

favorite: the interior! I LOVE the way the navigation is set out. it's looks complicated/complex but sleek and definitely sexy; unique! the butt end of my car, with the a-spec kit and the comptechs always gets me going too...haha

unfavorite: the leather...my driver side's a bit "torn"; not in the sense that it's ripping, but it's creased to the max and in some parts, it's not "quartz" anymore (it's like the white undernearth the paint). even in the back seat, after someone sits on it, you have the fatty but mark that gets left behind; almost like the leath isn't tight around the chair. also, MORE POWER and stupid rattles!

 

I've only had my '07 for a month but here's my opinion to date:

Favorites: The looks inside and out. I especially like the 07 exterior additions of fog lights, side mirror turn signals, and the white in the rear tail lights. The acceleration and handling on a nice curvy uphill road. It's just fun. The stereo/CD/XM. Highway mileage 29mpg. Manumatic transmission on downhill roads.

Least favorite: The strong downshift around 20mph (thanks to this site, I now know that is normal which is a big releif. I'm also learning how to drive to minimize this problem.) City MPG of 18-20. Turning radius. Premium gas.

 

Favorite: Navigation System

Dislikes: RWD + Turn Radius

 

Werd to kennedy.

man I hate these threads.

 

LOVE:

6MT
LOOKS (exterior).
REFINED AUDIO.
Gorgeous interior.
Engine (type S).
Exhaust (type S).
Gauges.
Rear view camera.
Suspension (type S).
LED break lights.
NAV voice control.
TOUCH SCREEN (too bad all new Acura and Honda vehicles are abandoning this).

HATE:

NON-LED turn lights (rear cluster).
FWD.
NAV angle, no screen hood = glare in sunlight. BMW owns this field (yet they suck @ iDrive).
FWD.
TORQUE STEER.
FWD.
POWER - coming from an M45 sport and a Jeep SRT8, the TL-s is underpowered.
FWD.
SLOW NAV.
FWD.
Underpowered audio (I'm adding two 12" subs).
PAPER speakers.
Did I mention front wheel drive?
Audio system doesn't take MP3 DVDs, only CDs (this is booty, as you can store 8.5 gigs worth of audio on a DVD and only 700 megs on a CD, the next iteration of ACURA audio should read BluRay).
NO Sirius radio.
XM traffic is boollshiit.
NAV DVD is in the trunk (WTF?).
NAV is DVD based, not hard disk (erm, see SLOW NAV).
NAV can't store MP3s.


These are mostly gripes. No car is perfect.

I love my TL-s.

 

Favorite: that phat ass(tl-s quads and rear)

Dislikes: the fact that there is no S/C for TL-s yet, and oh yea rattles.
