Reviewing: 2005 Used Acura TL 6-Spd MT

We love the TL. Great finish, more than enough power and incredible handling. THe 6-speed MT really makes for fun weekend driving in the twisties. Only comment is that its a lot of HP for a front wheel drive, you can get a bit of torque steer especially exiting low speed turns in lower gears.

Pros — Great personal car with plenty of room for the family
Cons — Torque Steer

This is actually my husband's car, but I have driven it on occasion.  It handles really well and is fun to drive.  He got it fully equipped with nav, Bluetooth and leather.  We have had no maintenance problems, other than minor upkeep.  It is a really good looking, sporty car, that can also be used to transport our kids, if in a squeeze.

Pros — Sporty, comfortable, peppy, fun to drive.
Cons — Uses high test gas, not a great commuter car for its mileage (my husband drives about 80 miles roundtrip daily),

a marketplace behemoth and rightly so.  Acura hit all the right notes with the 05  TL, setting the bar high for other manufacturers to follow.  Styling is classy yet sporty, inside and out.  Mines 3 years old and still purrs like new.  

Pros — Love the stereo and navi.  
Cons — Damn FWD configuration

Would like to get 18`` wheels, supercharged, and 20% graphite Tint.

Pros — Looks so incognito
Cons — Would’ve liked a bit more torque, even with a 6 speed.
