Once upon a time, the #AcuraTL was the best-selling luxury sport sedan in the US. About 15 years ago, #Acura outdid themselves with the 3rd generation TL that really shocked. the world and showed Acura just serious they were about going after the best from Germany. When the #TypeS model returned in 2007, its near 300 HP V6, available 6-speed manual, and stunning looks had a lot of enthusiast trading in BMW, Audi, and Mercedes sport sedans. Today, Acura seems a bit lost but there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon as a #TLXTypeS is coming very soon with a turbo V6 and SH-AWD. Until that new car arrives, the old 2008 #TLTypeS still represents the best that Acura has to show for a sport sedan and its exactly why used examples can command a premium, especially if they're in good shape.

I owned this 2008 TL-S in the grey metallic, two toned interior. They only came one way, having no additional options on the car. When I bought it, I traded in a Porsche Boxster and originally went to drive the smaller TLX. I told the sales guy, Tom, I really liked the car, but that I was not happy with the performance. I remember Tom saying “ok, let’s go back to the the dealership - I’ve got your car.” When we got back, as I was waiting for him, I saw him pull up in the most beautiful car I had ever seen. I was in love as soon as I sat in the drivers seat. We did go for a drive, but I knew I was buying that car the moment I touched the door handle. To be honest, I don’t even think I asked the price. I wish I still had it.

This was one of the highlights of the late 2000s and probably peak Acura. The Type S despite being a FWD car really gave a great alternative to the 335i, C350 and of course its Japanese rival the IS 350 something to fear. It was honestly just a SH-AWD system away of being faultless in terms of powertrain.
@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan
@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan Год назад
Yeah if it had SH-AWD it would have been perfection~~ but Acura made this car perfectly despite FWD. They can just take a FWD platform and just make it drive incredibly well.

Went from a 9th gen Civic Si to an '06 TL with the 6-speed. Honestly, everything he's said in this video is 100% correct. It's an AMAZING everyday driver that can smoke 3-valve Mustangs, too (; If anyone's looking for them, the 2004-2006 'base' models with the 6-speed still have most of the performance parts from the later Type S: the LSD, Brembo brakes, and stiffer roll bars. They only thing their missing from the Type S are the cosmetic upgrades (so they look identical to the earlier base models) and the bigger 3.5 engine, but they're incredibly similar. A 2004-2006 base model with the 6-speed is still faster than the automatic Type S!

Without a doubt the 3rd gen TL is such a timeless design. It was a car that was desirable when I was in middle school back in 2011.

Awesome review!! I drive a 2008 Just like this for my daily/road warrior. I travel 5 states for work in sales and it has never left me stranded on the side of the road. Super comfy, quality audio and great feel from suspension and drivetrain Keep up the great work!!!

By far the greatest midsize luxury sedan of its time. It’s sad the current gen TLX doesn’t quite live up to its older twins legacy.

Great work! I remember when I was shopping for my first car and I watched your vid on the Acura TL. I was so impressed I made my decision to buy one soon after. A couple years later I got a TL Type S with under 90k miles on it in like new condition for a steal. I'm still driving it today. I wish you still did vids on used cars like you did back in the day. That would really help out buyers looking for something more affordable.

I have a 2008 type s black looks just like this one . I have 273,000km and runs and looks like a dream. Totally love this car Acura hit it on the noise when they made this model. After hearing that cold air intake I might just have to get one now for mine lol. Thank for making this video thumps up TL fans 👍

They’re damn hard to find and they definitely hold a premium over a normal accord with a v6, I’ve been trying. I think this is one of the best looking sedans ever made

Good to see a car so well taken care of. I have an 07 Base Tl and yes, the dash is cracked but other wise it's still a great driving reliable car at 97k miles. Unlike this one in the video which most likely was garaged kept, mine has fading trim outside and little things showing it's age, but probably going to keep it since new car prices are way too insane. Great review BTW

Great video! I enjoyed it! I have seen this car in person and from a few feet away it appears to be brand new! It does have a certain styling that that does not make it seem like it is 12 years old. It was nice to see how it performs in this video, since Keith won't let me drive it! ;)

I had 2007 TL, the best designed car I ever drove. I felt in love with that car and its timeless design. Unfortunately, Acura was never able to repeat the same design excellence ever again. Hoping that they do so with models in future.

That was a cool ass car. FWD in a performance car kind of sucks, but that was a very fun car for what it was at the time. There’s not a lot of Type-S’ on the market and they’re usually beat up, but if you’re able to find one in decent shape, I would jump on it.
