Bought the TL

Heavysled · 12-19-2005, 12:01 PM

Well the wife got her Christmas present. Went to the acura dealership this past weekend and picked up the TL. Got the White Pearl with Tan Leather interior.. Had about a 50 mile drive back from the dealership, so I was able to get acquainted with the voice activated navi..

Now I just need to get it broken in so I can line it up next to the Titan..haha

Merry Christmas to you both!
That is one great car, one of the nicest on the road.
Best interior period.
Enjoy

The M35/45 is a little out of my price range.. Equally equipped the M35 would have been nearly $10,000 more..

Sure it is a sweet ride, but the acura is plenty enough car for me..

Ok, so why not the G?

......And what? You just pointed to an article that placed the TL fourth and the G35 third!!!! I am confused. AWD for the same price, kind of puts the G in the lead as far as safty goes for me. Got to give Acura the nod for Looks though. Damn it's pretty!!!

We looked at the G. The local Acura and Infiniti dealerships are on the same lot. We test drove both cars and took everything into consideration. The G did have some nice features, but.. The G's interior is slightly smaller, still higher priced when equally equipped, and is due for a re-design/facelift for the 2007 models.

After driving both, my wife and I agreed that we like the TL better than the infiniti..

Ncie car. Did you guys get the auto tranny? I test drove a 6 spd manual tranny and it was so clunky, not smooth at all for a Honda/Acura product, plus major torque steer in 1st and 2nd gear.

yes we did get the auto tranny...there is some torque steer, but no worse than the mazda 6 we had before..

Nice car, was pushing for that when the GF got her new 06 Maxima. But it was her $ not mine. I tried though.

f00dstamps · 12-25-2005, 09:11 PM

i know it's a huge difference but i was considering either a Titan or a TL. i drove my friend's TL... VERY nice car. how do you like the 8" navigation screen?

MO Titan · 01-02-2006, 06:32 AM

Just drove a TL last this week end and Damn!!!!!!!!! That was a nice ride. As far as I am concerned I am pushing the wife toward it. It comes standard with like everything and is only 3 grand more than a fully loaded V6 Altima. Got to get the wife over the whole luxury car thing.
