2012 Acura TL SH-AWD Reviews

Acura had a bit of a mystery in the second half. Honda's premium model has weathered his share of combat, such as a new entry model has been like the RL, as established below expectations of buyers and ZDX. TL was a powerful selling point Acura sedan for many years, has
seen better days.
 

2005, at the height of his popularity, Acura TL and Lexus ES behind the BMW 3 Series, only the sale of luxury-car set, has been 78 218 copies of its mainstream luxury carriage moves. But two things happened to make the world upside of the TL. First, the sales volume at the same time as you have to start dipping the end of 2008 Acura TL a new style, which announced the controversy fueled by more than conquest.

To select the course on the right rear of the mid-sizer bread and butter, that the designer of the Acura, and engineers now control the same, while working to improve the driving dynamics were very good, the car put the nasty design of this year to TL some of the decisions to suppress. Does it work? We are a cash cow of the Acura took the reins of the 2012 TL SH-AWD equipped to verify that you are ready for another shot at Lexus and BMW.

TL metallic silver, when you install a super handling all-wheel drive six-speed manual transmission and Acura, forging our test. Treasury of the front seats are equipped with Acura, such as Bluetooth, standard equipment, electric sunroof, xenon headamps, which is heated, leather, and all automatic temperature controller. Function, process, package design, it is added to the navigation and weather, traffic information systems around the sound of ELS, since we also waving inspectors in the world of high-quality leather and Miranoaki rearview camera, real-time The is. Or Enya. All you are interested.

Many packages of $ 42,885, but you have to convince the buyer of the TL luxury car encountered, appearance is a little work needs. I see in the TL, 50 meters, if it is a specific designer, in any form, to the TL, it is difficult, it looks more comfortable than the previous model Acura to make improvements. Disturbing the front of the TL is no longer vertical to the direction of the appearance of. Sharp, that his soft and barbecue, rather than in favor of switching the edge of the teeth, it is a gentle face in the next bill. Has been designed front bumper, fog lamps and headlight design. It is almost as a 2011 model, low, wide-screen the same size, but as a result, 2012 TL is a sedan.

The TL's cabin has been updated, it looks almost the same in 2011. The range of the TL, so keep the texture and rich architectural, such as the cockpit, soft-touch materials have been enough, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. The best of all required courses, to retain the steering wheel and shift knob hand to spend most of their time.

This is also an enhanced TL fan of the front seat. On the other hand, the Michigan and two-way highway at cruising speed in connivance with these leather a lot of our ass on the throne, he continued to be planted in aggressive driving. TL, with the past and this model is 36.2 inches front and 42.5 inches of legroom, the rear seat passenger, has been extended, and a passenger room. The trunk space is still a problem, however, is 12.5 cubic feet of storage space in this class, our all-wheel drive test (TE front-wheel-drive model cube 13.1 EKE) the worst one. At some point, we are shocked, you know, I am not a handbag, luggage and beach accessories cooler TL's trunk is small, medium size, swallow. Then again, theAcura TSX sport wagon is located within the extended family is always four.

Claimed that large-scale engineering Acura TL's cabin is quiet, the Acura muted this week that its efforts were not in the vein. The other hand, the interior noise is suppressed, not yet open and close the device noise. TL is to continue to take more of the center console of knobs and buttons on the steering wheel. We do not know what to change radio stations or off the road, your eyes, so far there is no intuitive temperature regulation. Another problem is that the Acura set up another touch screen, rather than continue to use the navigation joystick. Change the navigation screen, when you transfer several times from the second, we are not careful prominent, arranged in strange, press the joystick.

TL3.5 liter engine start is a good basis for generating power, one of the V6 2 engine provides 254 horsepower and 280 lb - ft of torque. Has been equipped TL SH-AWD with 3.7-liter 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of twist. Can not find a combination of direct injection and turbocharger, press the Start button, and the roar of sweet happen. Acura, you choose to use this money to reduce the leakage of external noise, it is almost pathetic. Now we need to roll down the windows, and listen to the melody of the details of the powertrain.

Some 280-horsepower V6 engine 3.5-liter is powerful enough and seems to be more than the majority of the owners of luxury cars. Argument does not have here, in order to verify the check box, and accurate throw-speed manual 6 on the short term, the manufacturer of the engine enthusiast you select the buyer does not have to choose the 3.7. 60 to trot, and it takes about 5.5 seconds, thanks to the phenomenon of all-wheel drive system Acura part. SH-AWD system is to be provided the root of (70) of torque available full-time four-wheel traction, twist up to 100% of the rear wheels and the rear wheels turn to the left or right to acquire optimized and can be in percent. Season fighting for every vote a high-performance Michelin P245/45 R1896V hammer the throttle of the station and the dead. All power, non-stop ... And will make us happy in the pavement.

TL is, and always ensure that a processor, it does not change in this update mode. The coil springs and stabilizer bar double wishbone front suspension set up by the rear case of the multi-link coil springs and stabilizer bar. In this setting, behind you, plus the grip of the results are amazing drive and all-wheel.

On the contrary, in order to improve the fuel economy, Acura, has become the setting of the electronic power steering. The result is a little fuzzy feeling, it is the wheels, giving the strength of the many useful often than necessary. Economic, EPA argued that the four-wheel drive 18 miles in city and highway, the average of the 2012 TL's fully-equipped 26 miles per gallon. TL at the time, we mixed a combination of 19.7-Mile Drive, did not live in these numbers and. Living in this illustration, we, however, can take the TL and exercise to your account.

And TL SH-AWD weeks after the refresh, it has taken measures to address the broken something without prejudice to the Acura is already obvious. Refresh mid-cycle, thallium, or there will be more attractive to the point how far? Please confirm. Ministry of the Interior, or did not receive the interests of some changes?Maybe. Why the silky smooth chassis and sharp handling, the powertrain is still the best class? Absolutely.

In total, Acura will start very competent sport-luxury sedan last year, more attractive, it is in order to improve its efficiency, and increase its power. Although it may not be the only overhaul to bring the TL back of the sales to the 2005 level, to improve the shopping list, it must be important enough to Honda this.
