    Honda Car With A Bad Transmission — It was a toss up between this and a BMW 330i. I liked the 330i because they offered it in a manual transmission, but comparably equipped, the BMW was 10k more. The transmission could use some redesign, but overall, I'm pleased with the car. Been running Mobil 1 since about 20k miles, and it's got 125k on it now - not burning any oil, and has gotten 24.1 mpg (19-34) over its life.

    Pros: Honda reliability most everywhere 'cept the transmission

    Cons: have i mentioned the transmission?

    Powerful. — This car is so fun to drive! It accelerates pretty fast and has 220 horse power. It also has the craziest braking ability plus turning. I like to speed around in it and it does have a decent miles per gallon. It also is semi-manual.

    Pros: Fast acceleration.
    Good handling.
    Good braking.

    Cons: Nothing.

    Not Half Bad... — I had this over night one time. It was comfortable. Acura always has nice thick leather. Fairly smooth ride.

    Pros: Comfortable. Relatively good quality

    Cons: doesn't handle like a ferrari darn it! not the coolest car on the road.

    Love My Tl-s — Fun to drive...great features. Crappy air conditioning, which in Texas is a big deal. About to go buy an '08 TL next week.

    <3 — Comfortable, reliable, sounds nice, light, decent acceleration. It's not a Type-S.

    Excellent Built Quality And The 260hp Engine Is Very Powerful! — Had the car for almost a year. It was a company car. I was very happy with the upscale interior and the large boot space. The car was very comfortable to drive on long trips. The engine was very powerful and made an amazing noise when accelerated on full throttle. Handling was also excellent. Type S features a sports suspension but doesn't compromise ride quality. One major disadvantage is the notchy automatic transmission that takes forever to find the right gear. The car is solid thought and a good buy with all the "goodies" that includes like power everything, leather etc.

    Pros: engine, built, handling

    Cons: notchy transmission

    An All-around Great Car — A great car - V6 engine puts out about 230 hp and can really get going using auto-stick. The suspension is good for a sedan, not stiff enough for really taking the turns, but provides a smooth ride and quick manueverability. The interior is great - heated leather seats, an amazing Bose soundsystem, and a decent fan for A/C and heat. All the controls are easy to find and use. Plenty of storage room for all your phones, ipods, cameras. Very solid all-around, have had very little maintenance problems.

    Pros: Great power for a V6 and amazing Bose soundsystem

    Cons: auto-stick doesn't allow manual control over 1st gear, rear seats don't fold down - can only use the pass-through

    Solid As A Rock. — While it has a tuned down version of the awesome 3.2 liter Honda engine, It still gets to top speed smoothly and quickly. The engine is so finely tuned it sounds more like a woosh than a roar.

    Pros: Smooth, Comfortable, and pretty fast.

    Cons: Expensive to repair, 225hp engine could produce a little more power.

    Pleasant Daily Driver. — Could be better braking and handling car, however, it is a fantastic means of comfortable transportation and the sound system is great!

    Pros: Bose sound, Silent, Ride Quality

    Cons: Brakes tend to fade, develops rattles with higher milage.
