2007 Acura TL Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...dual-zone climate control, a trip computer, rearview camera and a superb eight-speaker stereo with a six-disc CD player and XM satellite radio. That's a lot of equipment on our test car, which had the navigation system. All the safety features you'd expect are included, such as anti-lock brakes with brake assist, stability control, and side and side-curtain air bags. Despite the extra power, the TL Type-S is not as fast as some of its competition, such as the BMW 335i. But the Acura is plenty quick, and its V-6 engine is an ideal match to the automatic transmission. EPA rating is 19 miles per... |

2007 Acura TL Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The center stack of controls is nicely laid out and easy to understand. State-of-the-art technology perks include a plug-in for your iPod, a satellite-linked navigation system, Acura's so-called HandsFreeLink system (a driver can dial a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone by voice) and the AcuraLink satellite communication system that offers real-time traffic conditions. The tester's surround-sound audio system -- with eight speakers linked to the usual tune-playing devices, and surprise, even an audio cassette option -- was a quality blast. Did I mention that all these goodies are part of the... |

2007 Acura TL Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The company calls the TL an ``entry premium" vehicle, something of an oxymoronic phrase. But I guess it somehow makes sense, since in recent years Acura has been selling more than 70,000 of the cars annually in the United States, making it the financial backbone of the company. And though Acura officials at the press launch for the TL repeatedly referred to the ``sinister styling" of the Type-S, it is also subtle and elegant, with its broad slits of headlights, fog lights dropped into the lower fascia, a mesh grille bisected by a chrome crossbar, and a pronounced hipline running front to... |

2007 Acura TL Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...TL's high-quality interior is warm and inviting. The materials are excellent, and the surround-sound DVD-audio system will make you want to ditch your home stereo. It uses six distinct channels to deliver sound quality that is 500 times better than a CD player. The system also plays standard CDs and has XM satellite radio. The instrument panel's multiple textures not only are pleasing to the eye, but also provide good visual rhythm. The gauges are rimmed with iridescent blue marks that look very sharp. Brushed silver accents flank the center console, and tiny blue LEDs in the ceiling direct a... |

2007 Acura TL Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Other Type-S enhancements include a stiffer suspension, stronger brakes with Brembo four-piston front calipers and thicker underbody stabilizer bars. Interior Five people fit inside the TL. Leather-trimmed seats are standard, and a 10-way power driver's seat is equipped with power lumbar support. Each TL includes dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a tilt/telescoping steering column, and an Acura/ELS eight-speaker surround-sound system with an in-dash six-CD changer and DVD audio. Steering-wheel buttons operate audio, cruise-control and voice-recognition functions... |

Review: 2007 Acura TLSource: MSN Autos...But the sportier Type-S can be had with a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox or the automatic transmission with steering-wheel paddles for manual-shift operation.Estimated fuel economy for the 3.2-liter V6 is 20 mpg in the city and 29 on highways. The Type-S engine provides 19 and 28 with the automatic and 19 and 29 with the manual. Premium fuel is recommended for both engines.Upscale InteriorLarge door handles make it easier to enter the quiet, luxurious cockpit and a tilt/telescopic steering wheel accommodates drivers of various sizes.Four tall adults fit, but those in the rear have little... |

2007 Acura TL Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The second addition is steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters on the Type-S. The left one downshifts and the right upshifts, in Formula 1 style. The standard brakes are four-wheel discs with ABS , brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution . The Type-S has Brembo-brand front discs and larger, four-piston calipers. In addition to more stopping power, the shiny black calipers add a slick cosmetic element in place of the homely standard grippers. In the end, the brakes do their job well. Ride & Handling Considering that it shares its platform with the Honda Accord, which rides firmly... |
