| “Nicely Equipped Performance Family Sedan” Reviewing:
2008 Acura TL Type-S
So it's a sporty version of the TL with 3.5 liter V6 developing 286hp, driving the front wheels. It's nicely equipped inside with NAV, 10 speaker in-dash DVD changer, special alloy wheels, a lip spoiler and special leather seats standard. It drives smooth and quiet. Build quality is good and is quite roomy inside. As for the gas mileage, I average 27 MPG, driving slower than grannies. If I slam on the gas pedal (the way I used to drive for 20 years), the average drops to below 22 MPG. Compared to what I drove right before this car (Honda S2000), this car drives like a fat cow. 6 speed manual is offered which I would have loved to get, however, I was overruled by my better half. Manual transmission would have improved all the performance numbers as well as the driving enjoyment for me. Oh well, can't have it all, I guess it beats driving a mini-van.
Pros —
Good acceleration
Good handling for a front wheel drive sedan All inclusive packaging (NAV, In-dash DVD changer, Moonroof...) Decent gas mileage when driven like a granny Smooth and quiet Dealer gives you free loaner car
Cons —
Manual pedal shifting is way too slow
Suspension is not taut enough ABS kicks in way too early Maybe a little more pronounced exhaust sound would add to the sporty nature of this car Ugly wheels (It's my car so it's the only opinion that counts) Bad gas mileage if driven enthusiastically Service at the dealership costs $$$$

| “Tl Scoop” Reviewing:
2008 Acura TL Base
Overall, TL is an amazing ride and I have nothing much to complain. Performance wise, it is a bit on the weak side and if i had the chance, i would have gone with the TL-type S. But it still comes with V-tec engine and has a good enough kick after 4k rpm. Appearance wise, it is one sexy ride and the interior is amazing too. MPG wise, TL is not a good choice. It has an extremely low miles per gallon (averaging about 23 mpg), and if you got black on the exterior and black in the interior (black on black like me)...taking care of it will be a pain in the butt. Besides these cons, TL is a nice car and I would definitely recommend it for those looking for daily driving and practical car with a bit of sexyness mixed in.
Pros —
Sexy, V-tec, Practical, Fun to drive
Cons —
Bad MPG
