2010 Acura TL Review

2010 Acura TL, but found it lacking overall. Read the full review to find out why the TL let this owner down, and why he thinks he’ll be trading it in for something else in the near future. There are plenty of competitive vehicles in this segment, including sport wagons that have more room. After getting the lowdown on the TL, write a review of your own car here.

“First, I give major kudos for the technology side of the car and cockpit feel. Having owned a 2005 TL, I was looking forward to upgrading to the all-wheel-drive TL with Tech.

“Disappointments:

“1) The shape of trunk opening: not very functional. The angled edges makes larger boxes difficult, if not impossible, to get in. it’s a serious let down for the exterior design.

“2) Rear seat pass-through only: Even the TSX has a 60/40-split folding rear seat for greater utility. I don't see why the TL can't have one, too. Most sedans in this class offer this either standard or at least as an option.

“3) Bucktooth beak: I can't take it anymore. The previous style was classy or at least not so extreme.

“I am looking forward to seeing how the 2011 TSX wagon looks and performs. If it is available in AWD V6 Tech package, I will be probably trade in the TL.

“Overall, if you need all-wheel drive and practical functionality combined with performance, I recommend waiting to compare the TSX wagon with some sport wagons or at least all-wheel-drive sedans that don't have the limitations mentioned above.
