My opinion, posted on Bimmerfest
"I test drove the TL about 9 months ago(was thinking about getting one). FWD in that car is horrible, Lots of wheel spin in first, some in second. Massive amounts of tourqe steer, which was a pain in the ass. And that car just doesnt feel as fast as the 330. One of my friends who owns a 6MT TL (he purhased in November 05) we go at it all the time. And i alwayz leave him hanging Off the line and from a roll. We drive on some twisties sometime. Now he just says hell I dont wanna do this i can never keep up. Dont get me wrong, the TL is a nice a$$ car. I think Acura needs to start producing some cars that puts power to the rear wheels. I wish i knew how car and drive got a 0-60 time of 5.7 seconds. Its more like 6.5. One of my other buddies with an 05 RSX Type S Pulls pretty even with the TL and he ran a track time of 15.3 and 15.2, once he got lucky and ran a 15.0. I would say the TL is somewhere in the 14.8-15.1 Range. Each magazine test Different. I have seen from mag to mag the e90 330 Being test anywhere from 5.4-6.3, so it all depends on whos the drive, climate, elevation, and location."
