While we all know the TL is an awesome vehicle (and an absolute steal for the money), it's not perfect. Of the following "missing features" how would you rank their desireability? A - Electronically controlled tilt/telescope steering column. B - Rain sensing wipers C - Cooled front seats D - Electric rear window sunshade My order is pretty much as above. (Any "missing feature" ommissions I've forgotten about?) |

Replying to: draz2 (May 19, 2009 8:18 am) B. I've had rain sensing wipers since October 2002. They are great if you hit a sudden thunder shower or get an unexpected road splash from a passing truck, but they are annoying as hell when they go off for no good reason, windshield washer spray from some other vehicle on the road, in a car wash. Nice feature to impress your friends, but one that most can live without and not notice. C. Probably really nice if you live in Arizona, otherwise this is not in the same ballpark as heated seats. A do-dad. D. Another do-dad. There isn't anything compelling on this list unless you live in Arizona, cooled seats, or Seattle, rain-sense wipers.

Does anyone know if you can prevent the Nav on 2009 TL from prompting you to enter OK everytime you start up the car? It is starting to get annoying. Thanks in advance for your assistance. |

Having a tough time pulling the trigger on a TL. Really love the new look, edgy, futuristic and bold. But: TL with tech: Seat too firm, lumbar support protrudes too much even when fully adjusted back...has anyone else found this to be true? I have a history of back problems...do not want to make a mistake and have to re-sell quickly and lose money. I'm told by the dealer the SH seat is softer...have yet to test it fully. Acura info is that SH side bolsters are enhanced...nothing about the whole seat being softer...is it really softer all around? Wheels are a real problem...dislike the stock wheels look and size too small. Upgrades are ridiculously priced...around 3k for chrome with new tires. Could spend the same money to get the SH instead...but really concerned about the hard ride with the sport tuned suspension. The wheels on the SH are better...but not ideal...as they show too much of the brake assembly etc. Also, there aren't even any pictures of the car with the upgraded chrome wheel option...the pics on th acura site are with wheels that are not what is offered as an option...pretty ridiculous actually not to have the pics showing the options being offered. Would love to have softer seats and AWD without firm suspension. How firm is it really anyway? I would not typically buy something with a firm ride. Love the idea of AWD since we got tons of rain here in South Florida and my gut feeling is it would be safer and fun to drive. The infiniti G is my next choice...pretty much giving me all I need...but not too excited about the styling, smaller size, and the fact that model is mid-generation and will change in 2 to 3 years. May have to pull the trigger and get the G if I can't find a solution that works on the TL. The G offers factory upgraded performance wheels for an additional $500...very reasonable compared to $3k wheels for the TL...and can't even find any pics to see what it would look like (the build your TL web pics aren't good at all)....and no information on what tires would be installed with the chrome wheels...I'm thinking a 245/50/18 would be less harsh than a 245/45/18 like what you get on the SH, but I think they use the lower profile 45s. Help! Thanks! |
