The seats are firm and supportive. The climate control system is easy to operate and it quietly distributes hot or cold air as needed throughout the cabin due in part to under- seat ducting. This newest Acura is equipped with all of the modern safety features required by law and demanded by customers. Also, all outboard seats have three-point seat belts, and those in front have adjustable shoulder strap height. Driving the 2.5 TL is a pleasant experience.
Noise levels are low.
All around vision is excellent. It is mounted longitudinally in the chassis for optimum weight distribution, and tilted 35 degrees for a lower center of gravity and lower hoodline. The engine's power and torque characteristics are well-matched to the transmission's gear ratios, and the transmission shifts quickly, reasonably smoothly, and quietly. Acura's new TL series foreshadows future offerings from the first of the Japanese luxury car makers, and bodes well for the marque. It offers excellent comfort and convenience, and purposeful performance and handling in a smooth, well-designed package.
