2012 Acura TL SH-AWD

The TL gets a nose job and a tech tuck.

[@BrawlFreak786]

Just bought one of these with the advance package. Still a great car 6 years later

[@thescottishmexican]

BrawlFreak786 I’m thinking of buying one. Any problems so far?

[@BrawlFreak786]

@@thescottishmexican Nope none what so ever mines has 56800 miles

[@robertjackson7590]

@@BrawlFreak786 My wife has the Pearl White with Taupe Advanced FWD and it is excellent. 29mpg at 85-90. You can't go wrong with Acura. I drive a 10 MDX Advanced with the same colors as the TL in this vid. Looks almost as new with 264,000 miles. Yes, I'm biased.

[@LA-vd3ls]

@@thescottishmexican yeah have a engine problem so watch out there is an actual recall on the 3.7 had one done on mine

[@keving2115]

I brought one about a year ago. Fantastic car. Very fast handles nicely and good engineering all round. I understand many people complain about the instrument panel, but after getting used to it, it’s not hard to work with. Starts to feel like home.

[@normaspirated]

I got a 2012 TL loaner couple weeks ago. It just reinforces the hatred that I have for my rdx.

[@chigasaki06]

6.3 seconds 0 - 60? I've watched several reviews of the TL SH-AWD and they all say that 0 - 60 is 5.5 secs.

[@mrdave777]

I have an 06 TL. I wanted a manual. Got an automatic. Wanted a 07 or 08. Got the 06. Prefer the Type S in the aforementioned years. Got the base. I LOVE my 06!

[@ninjaman989]

Got an 11' 6spd with HPT and tech package, love it! I like the styling on the 11' than the 12', IMO the 12' looks to "toned" down, or "Camerized", but the add on of the blind spot monitor and cooled seats would have been a really nice feature on the 11'.

[@icarus2k]

That color is so nice and the leather too they're rare these days

[@bronson8062]

I've always liked Acura's grills

[@adamlivelife2608]

Just bought a 2014 manual trans with only 40k miles on it. And Wow this is an awesome super comfortable so fun to drive

[@0HOON0]

You didn't mention that the Panasonic ELS audio sounds awesome.

[@pattycarljackson]

this car was never ugly people just don't like good aggressive styling. that's a shame cause the older tl was sexy

[@fortniterecommended5225]

I liked it. But the reflectors were too big

[@enuffderrick1902]

I totally agree with you on that

[@mrwaltdisneyworldfan]

My mom has an 2010 MDX right now, but is tired of SUVs, her lease is up soon so we went to drive this recently, definitely a great alternative to the "big three" if you want the performance for less then european price. I do wish the interior was more like RL instead of TSX, but I could live with that, for some reason the metal and leather isn't enough for me, needs some wood accents, just my opinion

[@ExpensiveGarbage]

There are SOOOOO many people who disagree with you. The 83 to 6 "likes to dislikes" ration proves that. But maybe this car just isn't your preference, which is cool. We all have ours.

[@MTLJack]

This is the 2012 , newer model, the front head light and grill are much small just like the TSX, the 2010-2011 TL had a freaking huge front and rear.

[@mediamst]

Just bought one two nights ago and all I can say is wow... Any questions send me a message. Went from a 2007 BMW 525i to this car...

[@GioBaby]

mediamst I wanna get one ! How’s it so far ?

[@GBraidi78]

I think he forgot to mention that is also offers Blind Spot Detection which is part of the tech package and also heated and ventelated front seats!! I heard top of the line TL SH-AWD can cost 46,000 with all the options for the 2012!!!

[@ursusteddicus]

Love the colour of the leather.

[@vlad1889]

0-60 in 6.3 seconds Did you test that up a hill with ac on?

[@chrisak49]

Every car magazine has been getting 5.8-6.2 seconds.

[@vlad1889]

I have read on multiple reviews and forums + seen actual videos of dozens of sh-awd hitting 60mph in under 5.5

[@chrisak49]

mmhmm. Sure you did.

[@vlad1889]

[@mbbs2008]

Vlad B Vlad you are correct, partially. Those times are for the manual transmission model (6MT). Its almost a full sec. quicker than the automatic.

[@a32tl]

Love this car. I have an '07 TL and will eventually replace with a 4th generation TL.

[@TheOhknows]

New design looks good!

[@kevinmclean7216]

Best car ever ....

[@firebirdone]

Lol - 2:56 Yes I do. But DVD-Audio owners don't play DVD-Audio in cars. But thanks for making that point a few seconds later.

[@hondaspeed152]

beautiful car

[@treyvon4444]

Love my 13 shawd

[@rvind92g]

How's the 3.7 motor in the TL like in comparison to other brands? And how is the fit and finish and the quality of the interior like?

[@SilverScarletSpider]

The best thing to do is buy an aftermarket black grill replacement for $40 and then the car is almost perfect

[@TechGeek95]

What a fucking nice car... I wish I could afford that. This motivates me to get good grades. :)

[@Albert-xl3nx]

What ended up happening ? Was getting good grades worth it ?

[@ashrick718]

Lol!! I was looking to get a 2012 Camry to save money but this takes the cake. It's like a V6 mustang AWESOME!!

[@ricksmiths10]

i liked the old design....looked much more masculine then any other car on the road!

[@ccyungin]

love the seats.

[@SlapShotRm8]

idk what it is but i feel like this generation TL (2012) is just less aggressive looking, Also, i dislike how they got rid of the quad exhaust tips distinguishing it from the FWD version. Its looks thiner and less aggressive i like the old 09-11 body style its large and in charge.

[@_TheWerewolf]

I like that color.

[@incognitostatus]

i love this segment! :D

[@royal69]

@arashn89 its the 2012 model. check their website.

[@mediamst]

I have the TL SH-AWD. Engine is pretty damn fast. Especially for the price point. BMW will cost you 80K for that speed. Even the TL base will blow the doors off 525i BMW. Fit and finish of interior is very nice. If you look hard, you will find BMW and Lexus fit and finish is better. For example, the carpet in back seat, you can pull it up very easily in a spot of two which to me is a little shady. Also, slam the trunk and to a lesser extent the doors and listen to the sound you hear.. Not a BMW

[@JHONNYR98]

All of the 3.7 liter acura V6 engines are 310 hp not 305

[@FelipeFromColombia]

All TL's have dual exhaust dude, you can see it in the video.

[@TerryCPiano]

Can you use the voice command music search on older models? (2009-2011 TLs)

[@lizzjordan9582]

I just bought a 2010 tl with 85k on the odometer but when I looked up the vin# it said the car has 240k miles on it, is that even possible .? Car drives smooth asl

[@Light23K]

@acurrie2008 5.5 or it varies from different drivers and road conditions but 6.3 is wayyyyy off.

[@chigasaki06]

Lol. Somebody really needs to check the official numbers. There's a big difference between 5.3, 5.5, and 6.5 for the SH-AWD version.

[@ParisRoller11]

I think I want one

[@snazari1994]

how is the handling, and steering feel and acceleration?

[@RTI_MD]

is it a car review or a car's multimedia system?

[@vvysoc]

what is the color name of that lather I want mine with that color?

[@AlMai222]

With a high down payment ?

[@2.0taccord]

al mai No.

[@janikakis]

Does he ever drive a manual transmission car?

[@arashn89]

so is this a 2012 or 2011?

[@ursusteddicus]

@TechGeek95 Good for you, kid.

[@shenoudatube]

0-60 in6.3 seconds?? The manual transmission AWD gets to 60 in 5.2

[@vaiol123]

I typed in the link. It didn't work...

[@AlMai222]

Should I lease an 18 000 dollar car ?

[@DrzLeX]

@arash89 2011 I like the can opener look

[@pattycarljackson]

i have seen a lot of people also say 6.5 and 5.3

[@ssj4goldengogeta]

@arashn89 was that a serious question?

[@Thereisalwaysmore]

@arashn89 he said 2012

[@MrDede2011]

0-60 5.3 with manual

[@MattBurley]
