2010 Acura TL Tech Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Meet Acura's previous best selling model, the TL. Hit with the ugly stick for the 2009 model year, it severely hampered sales of Acura once best selling luxury sedan in the segment. The 2012 refreshed helped to bring buyers back into showrooms however, with a next generation due for 2014. Acura really needs another home run, similar to what it got in 2004 with the new TL and TSX at the time.

When they redesigned the TL in 2009, it essentially made it a bigger vehicle than the RL. That essentially made it pointless to get the RL flagship at the time.

I LOVE my 09 TL w/tech intake and exhaust. Just ordered 20 in vossens . Can't wait to get'em
I love that you guys show the keys. Idk why but I love seeing the keys. Thanks for the awesome vids
I hated it but the 2012 really has grown on me. The car offers so much tech and a beautiful interior with 2 engine options AWD config, and some of the best driving dynamics for the dollar around. Styling aside for 2009 when people look at the facts Acura did nothing but improve and advance the tl for the 4th gen. It aged really well and manages to have the size of a full size boat but sport of AWD and power. It's just a nice car and great to get used because of the reliability
i own a 2011 tl sh-awd for nearly 3yrs now and i appreciate this review. Very annoyed that you keep comparing it to honda because i test drove honda's 2014 accord and walked away because of how cheap it felt and fell in love with the acura that i tried for the first time that same day

Just purchased a '12 TL Advance and it is one sharp car!! I love it. It drives so great and is a very cool car in my opinion. It's my 5th Acura and definitely the best of the 5 I've owned. Had an Integra, an '05 TL, an '07 TL Nav and a '10 TSX Tech V6 prior to my '12 TL. All great cars but the '12 trumps the others.

i think this car design was ahead of it's time cause when it first came out i rearlly didn't like it as much as the 08. but nowadays 2023 this car is priceless & beautiful honestly.
Nice review. I actually own a 2010 FWD TL and it's crystal black color. I think the styling at the front looks better in person. I have never got any critics about the styling from my friends. Many of them actually complemented it. I went to dealership and got OEM full body aero kit installed and this car looks even better. I however color-matched the silver shield-like looking thing at the back and tinted my taillights red. I love my TL.
I have a 99' TL with 250,000 miles on it and I can tell you they make great cars. The powertrain actually outlasts the lights on the dash if that tells you anything.
I just picked up a 2010 TL SH-AWD tech earlier this week! I traded my 08 RL for it and absolutely love it!! Say what you'd like about the styling but i love it! Ive gotten so many complements on it and haven't even had it a week!
love my 2010 TL with Tech Package!!!!

Your welcome! We should be filming a 2013 TL SH-AWD Advance some time later this month. Can't wait to show you guys that vehicle :)
Everything that you don't like about the 2010 Tl I love it The grill love it stands out from all the rest.That's what I look for in a carLook i just came from a 2002 Volvo s60 so this a major leap for me.Love the room love all the buttons if you just look at the dash and can read what's the problem not boring like a lot of the other cars in its class.Great CAR Period.Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

My favorite non-NSX Acura!!
Great review! I owned '09 TSX and it felt like a more upscale 4 cyl Accord and traded it for '10 TL. The TL has more luxury touches and does feel a lot more upscale than the TSX, but it does have its flaws. ELS sound system was amazing, Milano leather seats were buttery soft, and absolutely no wind noise intrudes into the cabin, but it was the little things that you noticed after owning the TL awhile that Acura left out or overlooked that has me looking at Lexus, Infiniti, and the new '13 Accord

Acura has gotten a really edgy since 04. I liked the 03 S-type TL since it looked simple. Good video.
Well, for the enthusiast, Acura is hoping they will flock to the SH-AWD model with the 6MT ;)
I was gonna buy a 2012 model just cuz the grill is smaller. But after doing some research and seeing some after market grills. I would rather buy a 2009-2010 and replace the grill. They're a lot cheaper and leaves me with an extra $5000 to do anything with the car.

I actually like this generation of TL. The styling grew on me and of course it still drives like an Acura should. Though this one you reviewed will clean up nicely the previous owner of this car was one nasty bugger lol.
Alright good haha. I love what you're doing, keep it up!
really like the tl especially the 2012 updates......hopefully acura makes the 2014 even better
Should have tested the SH-AWD model, and to my eye this a beautiful car.

Great video lol just noticed something with honda and acura engines the last two numbers represent the engine discplacement J35-3.5 v6 K24-2.4 i4 K20-2.0 i4 J37-3.7 V6 Iam probably the last person in the world to figure that out lol
Yes, those are the 18", for some reason they almost look like 19s from the thinness of the sidewall lol
I don't know why people gave the 4th generation TL so much criticism when it came out. I admit that the huge beak wasn't that attractive but it looks so much better on the 2012 model. The TL is very stylish, distinctive, and stands out from anything from the road. Compare this to a boring Lexus ES and you'll see what I mean. The interior is so amazing on this car as well. What do you think sofyan?
I like this Acura because out of all the Acura TL it's the most masculine lookin. It's between this and a 96 SS Impala
I will get this baby soon

It's a shame that this caused the MDX to be Acura's best seller. We had this exact car, but a 2011, as a loaner vehicle and it was a really nice car. It feels more luxurious than our MDX and more distinguished than our old TSX. This car is an excellent option on the used market, though I have mixed feelings with it new. It takes a really specific buyer to pick the 4th gen TL over other vehicles that cost the same; the majority of buyers are looking for RWD.
This TL looks much prettier than the newer Acuras in my opinion....
im actually trying to save up for one of these
This vehicle actually wasn't traded in, it was a personal car of a co-worker lol
Yeah, this looks MASSIVE and a bit silly with the beak thing it's got going on. The updated one is a /little/ better, but hopefully the updated one resolves the issue completely. And a 4 cyl turbo might be nice too
Hello Redline team, I watch ALL your videos. I was wondering if you'd do a video on 09-12 Acura RL SH-AWD? I'm probably buying one tomorrow but would love opinion on this very slow selling model. BTW, I see on every vid you're listening to BPM... MINE TOO.... Take care,
Awesom car i have the 3g tl and i love it. Is there alot of wind noise on this generation??
Hoping. Thats your key word. Upgrading model = higher price when they can already buy a RWD stick in competing brands at similar pricing to the FWD TL ;)
It's kinda funny how you said that the TSX is like a fancier Honda Accord, where in Europe it actually IS called a Honda Accord (since Honda does not have the Acura name in Europe) and the US Accord is called the Honda Inspire (a more upscale looking version to be exact. I wish they had a version for RHD countries)
Please do a review of an Acura rsx type s. thanks!!
You need to drive the 2013 Avalon. THe interior on that car is very nice.
My grandmother has this car not this one it's a 2009 but it's still going strong.
add some oil to that damn thing.

It really depends on the owner, you are supposed to use leather conditioner once a month but nobody really does.

Am I weird because I love the styling on this generation? Probably. Don't answer that, hahaha.
I love my tl just wish the hp was up to about 320
also, what do you think of the rlx.?
How reliable are the tlx from 2012?
love this car I own a 2011 best car I ever had
Still have my 2011 TL it's in mint condition rides great but the technology is getting old but other than that I love my car
thanx for the review. I've been considering one of these ever since my 07 Avalon got totaled. But no more light colored interiors for me. It's gotta be gray or black interior from now on. I'm feeling this car but next time, dude, clean it out before you post a video. This is a classy vehicle and your video makes it look like you've been living out of it with the grubby floor mats and all the water bottles.......just sayin'
Nice car
How is the fuel efficiency?
6:04 why is there a carseat?
Bad ass!
I have been looking for an AWD one.
Aren't those just the OEM 18 inch wheels available on the SHAWD model? I'm pretty sure they aren't 19's
Great review.
This is when Acura resolves all nagging transmission issues . 2015 it went back to crappy .
Sometimes, in your mind you are trying to say this but when you open your mouth something else comes out lol
Sounds like a PITA. Atleast car makers are going vinyl these days. Well they call it leather but it vinyl. Vinyl it holds up good in my experience ( old pickup trucks ). Mercedes has been using it for years and no one knew any better nor complained.
Thanks for the good review...but watch that you don't contradict yourself too much. You called the FWD 3.5L model "plebeian" and then a few seconds before that you said it "[felt] like a premium vehicle", and later said it was a "premium luxury sedan". It got a bit confusing! Just something to watch for to make your reviews even better. :)
Was that VA?
I want a acura. I love the back its ill but the front is ugly. That shield thing makes it look cheap. Ill stick to the second generation
Nope. I like it too, but the 2012 is so much better looking. Still, I'd buy a used 2009-2011 TL SHAWD.
You said 17 in wheels earlier and the. You said 19in when you made the u turn....
Why does the engine sound like that? I have a 2005 Acura tl and the engine doesn’t sound like that?
Does every used car i see with leather seats is worn out and losing the coloring this included? I'd rather have vinyl it lasts longer and looks the same. But, cloth is the best and looks good for years if you don't spill anything on it.
