2005 Acura TL Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2005 Acura TL is a compelling midsize sedan with an overachieving engine.
Although 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 provinces 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 centre stack has a commanding height and has a quality mix of standard leather, wood or metal trim, and plastics.
The 2005 Acura TL starts at $41,000 and comes in one trim. Maxed out with the Dynamic Package, Navigation, and manual transmission, the MSRP is $45,300. The Dynamic Package can be ordered on its own with the manual, and the Navigation Package is offered standalone with the automatic. Fuel economy is rated at 11.8 litres per 100 kilometres in city driving and 7.5 on the highway with either transmission. The TL requires premium gasoline for best performance and efficiency. Considering the abundant tech and luxury features, the fantastic style, and the way the TL rockets down the road, this car is no doubt a great value.
