What is your favorite TL design/engineering element?
Of the many, one of my most favorite is the split display. I don't have to have a big nav screen shining at night to listen to music. In keeping with that I like that the big screen is hooded.

I appreciate the SH-AWD and the voice commands.

Interesting question. It is unique in it's class (or any class near it) in that the AWD system is performance oriented and actually takes a front drive platform and one-ups the rear drive sport sedans in handling. I normally don't like to put front drive platforms in the "sport sedan" elite category.
The overall sound system/nav package is the best I've seen.

2010 TL AWD 6MT: New King
A rarity in today's automotive world: 300+ HP V6, torque vectoring AWD that benefits handling and ice/snow, an interior that IMHO stands among the best, and 6 speed manual

Love the car all around, not to mention how much compliments and stares I get. One thing I haven't heard mention a lot is the Hill Start assist Can't tell you how much I appreciate this feature in the 6 MT. No need to feather the throttle and clutch any more or over gas the car when starting from stop on a hill.

Even after 2 years, love seeing my '09 grigio metallic... that color rocks in sun and shade, especially when clean... of course, the awesome DVD-Audio capability & stereo integrated with the rest of the systems is killer... did I mention the pure joy I get accelerating thru the tight on-ramp from Westlake Blvd south onto the 101 South???

Either one gets you to Malibu... Las Virgines (Malibu Canyon) is shorter and ends up more south, but is easily "ruined" by slow pokers since it's only 1 lane... Kanan Dume winds up farther north (near Zuma Beach) and has plentiful passing spots, but watch out for ze police on weekends... for ultimate paddle-shifting joy, take Westlake Blvd (or 23 or Decker Rd) south to the PCH... a windy, paddle-shifting plethora of tight, steep turns enough to make a stick shift driver exhausted... cheers!

I like everything about it, the ELS is great (I usually hit the after market shop by now), full iPod control, SH-AWD, BSI, vented seats, the little features that won't let you leave your keys in the car or trunk... etc...

I too vote for the push button start and keyless entry. The next item is the outstanding sound system. I've owned many cars over the years including an Acura, but none of them can compare to the TL's sound system. It's truly great!

The side mirrors that go down so that I never have to hit a curb while parking. I got more but want to see what others will post.

Favorite features...
#1 Push button start / keyless access - I literally would not have bought the car without this. Quick, convenient, cool... and no, I've had absolutely no problems with this feature. No people stealing my car by hacking the signal, no "battery loss", or getting locked out.
#2 Bluetooth audio - amazingly convenient. I charge my phone using my pc, so i also update my songs then. No need to deal with the super slow USB on the TL. The only problem is that my 2010 didn't get the song information display so I end up going to my phone to see what is on sometimes.
#3 Reverse camera/tilting side mirrors - I used to measure by eye how close I was to cars I was backing near. In reality, I'm usually "safe" because I stay a clear 2-3ft away at all times, and nearly a foot away from the curbs. Now I park with pinpoint accuracy![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
#4 Sound System - As an audiophile, I usually change out the car stereo and speakers right away, but this car sounds good enough and has enough features so that I don't feel the need to change anything
