What owners say
"Overall, Acura TL owners are quite pleased with their 2009 models, praising its stylish design, impressive performance, and luxurious features. Many drivers enjoy the comfortable ride and the advanced technology package, but some dislike the need for premium gas and the higher maintenance costs associated with the vehicle."
With the SH-AWD this car handles and accelerates very well. It pulls the car through the corner! The AWD system gives you confidence in the snow. I could not be happier with this car. This car is fun to drive at any speed!

January 11, 2010A lot of power!!! Handling is superb. Better than a BMW 5 series any day. Has a lot of fun options i.e. voice activated systems, navigation, backup camera, great on gas. Oh and it is AWD which makes it virtually impossible to lose control on a wet road while braking, accelerating, passing, or going through a curve. The comfort level is unbeatable for its class. Edmunds.com rated is at the top of its class, with the Infinity Q80 a step higher due to a .15 second difference off the line to 60mph. Sorry but that is not significant to me. Did not buy the car to race but for its quality. This is the fourth Honda product I have owned.
April 6, 2009The feature on this car is amazing. Most definitely was a great value. The car has everything that I need. This would be a Honda accord comparison.
May 29, 2022Acceleration is very sharp and the feel of the car is that I am in a much smaller sports car than a four door sedan. Very safe car and plenty of room for a family of five. Have never owned a car with as little maintenance required as this one.
December 2, 2014Had a 2005 model, looked nice, drove smooth, Bose stereo, great pick up if u like driving fast and being able to maneuver around other cars on the highway, nice interoir with alot of options. Downsides, gas cause must get 91 octane or higher, considered a sports car when getting insurance therefore it costs more, must replace expensive tires which are average $180-$200 a piece, slightly less spacious than my Honda accord, extra warranty from dealership was bout $3500 about double my Honda and repairs more expensive, less mechanics that expertly repair your issues unless you bring it to the dealership which can be expensive. Overall quality vehicle that will last and can put alot of miles on and have for years as long as you maintain it by using the right gas, changing your oil ECT. Also they retain their value if you go to resell it or trade it in. As far as the body and its looks I consider it very stylish. Acura TLs are overall a reliable car with plenty of luxury for the everyday person. Recommended for your upgrade/downgrade and a test drive!
November 10, 2020I always love the style when it first came out. I also love the technology package which has all the gadgets that I need.
January 16, 20212009 Acura TL is a great a value. Wish it was Type SH-AWD but for its base value cant beat the price and performance.
July 21, 2022Theres nothing not to love on the new 2009 acura tl even if you dont have the sh awd its one of the best cars i have driven to date. I strongly suggest taking one for a test drive immediatley.
