2005 Acura TL Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Acura builds a compelling sedan with an overachieving engine.
Athough it's based on the Honda Accord, the Acura TL is way more upscale than that best-selling sedan. The home-plate grille ends in a point below the A badge and connects with a vertical crease that perfectly divides the bumper (for owners in states without a front license plate, that blank spot proudly displays the Acura name). From the front, the TL looks like an angry hawk (the side mirrors are actually mounted on winglets) and the hood cuts a trapezoidal shape like on a Porsche 911. Thin headlights wrap around to the fender, connecting with a thin indentation that traces through the door handles, gas tank door, and ends with an equally-sized rear reflector. The C-pillar is extra thick to make the car feel longer and roomier than it is. The Acura TL's design is just good.
Acura put an equal amount of work into the interior, which is more progressive and tech-focused than anything you'll find in a BMW 3-Series or Audi A4. While it's less minimalistic than an Infiniti G35, the center stack has a commanding height and has a quality mix of standard leather, wood or metal trim, and plastics.
