At the time I bought it, I was driving a Jeep Wrangler for a second car. When I test drove my TL, it of course seemed incredibly quiet and rattle-free compared with the Jeep. Almost a year later....I now notice all of them.
Our other vehicle is an '03 Lexus GX470 with almost 80,000 miles. It's not perfect either, but it does not have a single rattle.

i dont think AWD is what you could change about ur TL...if you have a 2008 TL and u want AWD so bad....trade it in for a 2009+
i think the thread is more looking for
AUX port in 04-06 OR
Ugly grille in 09+ OR
response to BOLT ons OR
rattles etc...
Acura cars have had AWD since 2005 (with the RL)....if you really wanted AWD, I think you picked the wrong CAR....

hmm, i like the leather quality, gets lots of compliments
Weird rattles, makes the car sound cheap. Overspray on windshield fluid (i know why and i know how to fix it, but i dont like it)
Most of all I hate the terrible blindspots and clunky interior angles! I'm not a bad driver, but time and time again these two things affect my driving.

Couldn't agree more. Rattles drive me insane, and had I known what rattle traps these cars are, I wouldn't have bought one either.

Of all the cars & trucks I've owned, it's typically been the American SUVs I've had that were the biggest rattle traps (Excursion, Expedition, Yukon, Jeeps, etc.) The one exception to that rule would have been a Saab convertible I owned....hands down the worst with rattles.
I honestly never would have expected this many out of an Acura. Live and learn I guess.
