2010 Acura TL SH-AWD

Pros: Fit, Finish, general engineering. Great 6 spd manual transmissions throughout the line. Durable drive lines. Fun to drive, but a little heavy/plodding on very twisty, turny roads. Previous Acuras were reliable w/low maintenance costs initially.

Cons: Ugly nose and tail, odd and excessively large controller in the middle of the console (all 2010 models) Very poor fuel efficiency. Cost was a deal breaker for me as I wanted AWL in my next vehicle and this option is very expensive.

Summary: I recently purchased a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT instead of one of these. About $10K less, and much better interior design, and tolerable if not handsome exterior. I am a former RSX type S owner and pondered hard before switching brands.
