This is why I love this channel. You remind me of how Redline Reviews used to be by reviewing new cars, but also older cars, which most of us guys love. Thanks so much bro. We need more opinions of older cars.

My 2005 Acura tl has 290,000 miles on it and the thing still runs like a champ
-
Acura’s age so well, they still look fresh even after 20 years
-
Still have my 05 TL, still runs like a top. Best TL generation from Acura
-
This generation TL was arguably the best in class when it came out. It was absolutely sick during its time. Too bad modern acuras aren’t as ambitious 😢

I drove a 2006 Acura TL as my work car back in the late 2000's, and when I left the company I asked them to sell me the car and I bought it. I still drive it to this day and I am getting ready to give it to my daughter who is learning to drive right now. It has 348,122 miles as of right now, and that car has been absolutely fantastic. Same engine. Same transmission. Pretty much everything else has been replaced at this point at around 300,000, but I think it could easy hit 500,000 miles if my daughter doesn't hit something else first. Here is hoping!

Still have my 05 TL 6MT, 254k mikes and never had an issue besides just having to replace the engine mounts.

I bought a 04 TL one year ago and i love this car. I bought it with 119,000 miles on it and it feels great. It made me feel good knowing that there are cars out there with 290,000 miles on it and still running good. My son also has the 05 TL.

Reluctantly bought a 2005 Acura TL as a last resort. No regrets. It’s base, auto transmission, zero upgrades. Over 256,000mi and I can still chirp in 2nd. In my opinion, Gen 3 TL is in the best car ever made from a value perspective.
-
One of their best work hands down. I've been driving my 05 tl for 4 years. I don't want anything else right now. I wish they can remake this exact type same everything
-
I love my 05 TL. Never getting rid of it.
-
Just bought this exact model with 51,000 miles. Runs great, and same interior as in this video. Paint is perfect, clearcoat is solid.

Found a 2006 with a 6-speed manual in July of 2019 with only 44,000 miles on it for less than $10000 out the door. No rust, couple minor nicks in the paint, great interior. Probably the best driving car I have ever owned, especially after my previous ride, which was a 2005 PT Cruiser (5 spd manual) that I finally donated after 256,000 miles.

Long live the 3G TL! I bought a ‘05 with the factory Dynamic package (6MT, Brembo brake kit, Navi, etc.) just last year to replace my old commuter car and have been loving it! Despite it’s few known issues, it has aged very well... most people don’t believe it’s a 15 year old car! Good looks, plenty of power, reliable, and great fuel economy for a V6 sedan (I’m still getting over 30MPG on the highway every day). My only wish is that it was RWD...

Well that was fun, Subscribe and like for one of the best looking 4 door sedans. Check out Cary Imports website, I go there often and even though this car is sold, they do have an older model first gen Acura TSX available which I may review as well. Thanks for watching
-
Still worth it. I've had my 07 for about 4 years. It's been extremely reliable, just maintain it. Now at 200k and still flossin'
-
This Acura was my first car and runs like a champion ❤️
-
Undisputed best looking 4 door car ever made. He said it. I agree. Hence it must be true!
-
I’m currently looking at getting a 2008 Type-S. Thank you for making this review, I look forward to getting this car! Honda really was killing it design-wise in the early 2000s. This car, the 1G TSX, and the 8G Honda Civic are probably the best examples of their ahead-of-the-times designs
-
As someone who has 2 of this style TL's I still love this style. I have a 2004 & 2006 both are 6 speed manual. And they drive better than a new car nowadays. Thanks for showing why I still love my 3rd Gen TL
