Acura TL Engine Oil Life Reset
Think of the second-generation TL as a fancier version of the Honda
Accord V6. Highlights include a spacious and well-finished interior and
commendable outward visibility. Both the base 225-hp V6 and the Type-S
260-hp V6 are smooth and refined, providing strong acceleration. Fuel
economy is impressive, but premium fuel is needed. Handling is competent
but the car falls short of being agile; at least it is more fun to
drive than the competing Infiniti I35 and Lexus ES. The suspension
delivers decent isolation from road bumps, although it can become
somewhat jittery on the highway. Road noise is more apparent in the
cabin than it should be for a luxury sedan. Inside is plenty of
technology, including an easy-to-use touchscreen navigation system.
Watch for problems with the five-speed automatic in later models.
