I've owned an '05 TL for the past 3 1/2 years. It's a great car but not without some faults. (I have the 6-speed manual)Pros: Good power and gas mileage for engine size and power. I average a bit over 25 mpg in mixed driving. Well built with one of the best looking/designed interiors in my opinion. Reliable - Honda reliability.Very comfortable and easy to drive.Handles very well for sporty sedan.Front wheel drive a benefit if you have to drive in the snow versus rear wheel drive.Well designed navigations system (touch screen too)Resale value is good.Acura service is pretty good (at least in my experience)Very good sound system.Cons:Turning radius is very large making it cumbersome to park at times.I've had several annoying rattles over the years.At least where I live, it seems every third car is a TL.Some passengers have commented that my car rides too stiff but I like it for the handling - depends on your particular tastes though.Acura service can be pricey.No iPod integration but you can get one installed aftermarket.Overall, I think the TL is one of the best designs in its segment and a great value used.
