Give me your opinions on the 2007 acura sedans, if you own one only?

TSX - Expensive Honda Accord 4TL - Expensive Honda Accord V6RL - A lot more money then a TL for very little extra content.

I love them, I go here for my details on them http://www.forbesautos.com/showroom/...partner=yahooa

The three mentioned are all superb cars...each in their own way.TSX - American release of European Accord. This is Acura's best balanced & best handling sedan. The car represents a great dollar value for all that it provides...it essentially competes with the Lexus IS250, but out drives it in every significant way. Complaints: Needs more torque. Engine would benefit from forced induction for those power-hungy afficianados..TL - Acura's flagship mid-sized sedan...built off the Accord assembly line, but a different chassis (stiffer, more sport tuned). Like the TSX, the TL represents a great dollar value. It competes with a lot of sport sedans (Lexus, Infinity, Audi, BMW, Volvo, Cadillac, etc.). The TL actually out-handles the IS350, though it is not as quick (it's still substantially quicker than the TSX). The base TL has been tuned for more sedate ride whereas the Type S features more raw-edge tweaks for the driving enthusiast.RL - The RL is Acura's high tech, full-sized sedan offering. This car like it's sisters is supberb in every respect...well, almost every. The car is pricier than the TL, & by a big margine. It is a showcase for Acura tecnology though, and it features Honda's All Wheel Super Handling drivetrain. The car tends to be a bit heavy for its size, and the AWD feature reduces linear accelration times. Consequently, it's about as quick in acceleration as a '98-'02 V6 Accord...not bad, just not in the same class as Lexus 430 series or Infiniti's M class V8s.

The TSX, TL & RL are great cars

I owned the '05 version of the TL, which is essentially the same car as they make now.I've test driven the TSX, and found it to be a little slow, and boring looking.The RL is looking a little dated and is ridiculously expensive for what it is.My issue right now is that for 30K I can get the new 2008 Honda Accord, fully loaded, with navigation, and 10 more horse power than the TL. All for 3-4K less than a TL.On that basis I wouldn't buy any Acura sedan at the moment.The Acura I owned for a couple of years was average. It had that rust problem in the brakes that another question was talking about recently. I had some weird cabin noise they could never fix. And Acura had to give me a new set of tires because the ones that came on the car were faulty, causing me to crash off the road one time.So honestly, my Acura experience was not that great. On this basis, I don't think I will ever buy another one.

I believe that Acura has some of the best money for money cars on the road right now. I have the TSX and I love it, could it use more power yeah but for the price it is an awesome car. You are going to pay more for a lexus 250 that can't compete with the TSX handling. The TL I am not a big fan of as I do not like the way it is layed out in the inside. I think the steering is looser than the TSX and all you are paying for is the engine upgrade to me. (and a little more room not much)The RL is a great vehicle and for all of the people out there that say it is not a competitor for its class haven't really driven the car to find out what it does. I sell these for a living and I drive the competition tosee how they compare. Yeah some of these cars are faster but their crash tests are not 5 star all the way around, the all wheel drive system has nothing on the RL's and by the time you start adding the things you really wan't to the othewrs they are a lot higher than what you can actually buy the RL for. Not the sticker price but what you can buy it for. Like I say money for money they are all great but I chose the TSX because of the drive in it. Off the line it sucks in honesty but how often do you really race the car. Where it really perfoms is when you hit the 6000 rpm and this is really how this car was meant to be driven. On the highway when I need to pass someone I never have worried if I would make it or not all I do is drop it in a lower gear on the sportshift and see ya later. The car will move. (I took my to 140 and it was like doing 70) The features inside are awesome too as you will not find another car with the same features for the same price in its class. Now if you don't like any of them then wait til next year and we'll see a complete new lineup.
