In 2023, I still love my 2014 TL w/155K on it. This car has aged pretty well, and the 2023 TLX doesn't even bring in as much HP's as this generation. I have had minimal issues, and all have been maintenance based (Oil Changes, Timing Belt replacement, Brakes, + 1 battery) . I think this car is a great used car pickup for those who are looking.
I'm 16 and my dad has one of these things... let me tell you, it is one fun car to drive 😂 Very responsive, and for a car that weighs 2 tons it's pretty dang quick.
@@angelgjr1999 Yes indeed, I'm an owner of one myself and it's one of the best choices I've made. Only things to look out for is power steering and the timing belt but other than that, should be fine
Do you still own it? And if so have you had any problems with oil consumption? I've heard that the SH-AWD have that problem but I was wondering if the other models have that issue?
@@tekkenmaster123 Oil consumption is mainly on J37s (3.7 SOHC V6), I'd personally say to keep an eye on your oil level as it is a common issue and to do your maintenance early regardless of what the Acura maintenance schedule is. (Former Honda technician)

2002-2003 Type S models are just as good and much more affordable. As long as they've had the updated transmission installed and if not then an AV6 transmission swap is a simple solution.
I've got an '07 TL base, 133k, transmission seems fine, I especially enjoy the shiftable automatic, and recently had a BG trans flush. I'd say just stay on top of transmission maint. and shop for a 07 or 08 with the front end refresh. (the more expensive tires can make a difference)
The redesign wasn't the cause for the TL sales to be "cut in half". Have you forgotten about the recession? It hit right around when this 4th gen came out.
Yes, the recession was a big factor for the drop in sales....however there is no denying that someone really dropped the ball with the 4th gen. redesign. The 3rd gen. was such a timeless classic design, why make such dramatic changes like increasing the size of the vehicle to a point where it might as well be called a full size car? The rear downward slope of the roof was also a terrible change...on second thought, maybe the recession had less to do with the sales drop after all. Lol.
Damn! Were there a bunch of pigs riding in the back seat prior to your video? The backs of the front seats are filthy and this is a '14 model. That being said, the TL is a great car. I own a '12 TL Advance and video can't fully capture the quality feel that the car transmits to its driver. And the driving experience is amazing! I love mine and will definitely be buying a TLX sometime in the future.
+Andy Jacobs I agree, I have a 2014 and was just looking at reviews online, I love my TL...they are really great cars! I had the RDX before and been pretty fortunate with Acura's.
I like your Acura 2013 TL model review more compared to this. Not sure I feel like 2013 model is better than 2014 model from your review. I don't have much knowledge about cars, but planning to buy a used Acura TL either 2013 or 2014 because of its back shape design. Which one is better when it comes to overall performance ?
Aww man i can't believe that this will be the very last year of the Acura TL a other Acura that been arould for a long time is leaveing us for good what a sad story!!
Ive had a 2012 tl awd tech since 2014...love it...backseat is small ..trunk is tiny....i found out later the propeller shaft is fualty...the bearings burn out and it creates a whistle noise..1800 cdn for the part. They changed this part in 2014
Man listen to those solid lifters. lol. I do like acuras engines. They've ALWAYS has good engines but my main quib is with the styling. These cars look like they're DYING to be a Cadillac and with what Cadillac has to offer these days I kind of feel like Acura should define themselves by getting as far away from Cadillac and Lincoln as possible and be their own stand out!
I have to agree with you. While Caddy is trying to be "edgy" and "cool" it comes across as boxy and hideous, lacking any styling other than right angles. In a sense, Caddy went back to the 80's and 90's style, where a box shaped car was ok. I'm more partial to curves and smooth corners. You'll notice none of the German companies are jumping on the right edge bandwagon, and even Lamborghini, who sort of has a right edge thing makes their cars look amazing somehow. Acura.. well they still look like an ugly vulture or hawk. It almost looks comical seeing one of these in my rear view mirror.
Kev50027 Cadi never had the styling that they do now. Not only that the Beginning of the CTS was when the angles were really hard and the latest gen cts really toned it down. Look up motor trend channels CTS vids to see what I mean.
Great review. I am looking to get the most sporty TL from 2012 - 2014 used. What is your recommendation? and then, what other car would you compare that two?
@David Zambrano Ha. I ended up getting a TSX, then traded for an 2018 Accord 2.0, now selling the Accord and getting a 2021 TLX advance later this month. 😎
I know it's harsh, but the SOHC V6 Acura engines sound very similar to a 1998 Accord V6. Acura talks a lot about technological prowess, but the Europeans have been eating their lunch for the last few cycles.
KardiFan2000 neither has anyone else. They've shown the TLX concept, but no one knows for sure how much of that design is going to make it into the production version. That said, I agree with OneOfOne. Most Acura's look terrible, have no where near the luxury appointment of proper premium brands. I'm amazed the brand still even exists
i got one on lease busters (base model). great deal, 9 months old. i think that base model is a good value. car is just too low tech and unattractive to buy full price.
Not worth the money. Essentially an 8th gen guised up Accord. Buy an Accord V6 Touring instead, which the 9th gen model has been around for two years already...278hp on *regular* gas with 34mpg highway.
I have a 2008 honda accord v6 exl with navigation. I also have a TL Shawd, having both if the TL is a Guised up Accord its Guised up really good. Put the Accord and the TL at 85-90 mph on the interstate the TL is engineered different that's for sure. Now the 9th Gen Accord is really nice about everything, Especially the Touring V6. If a person like to drive like me I'll take the Acura. That being said the Accords are really good though.
It’s not a guisesd accord they don’t even share the same components. An accord is made cheaper than the TL and looks less appealing too. 278 hp? The AWD makes 305 HP.
GOOD RIDENS to this TL! Itsso ugly! The new one looks good but it will be watered down from what we saw. Acura/honda used to be my fav brand but now they have nothin i like. Its sad! PS i hate how they hide the rear chrome exhausts
I have a base 2012 TL and that thing is such a great car.Dead reliable and no fancy useless stuff to break.Just love the car,Ive owned it for 4 years and so far its been a rock solid car with 0 problems.
Terribly boring design. No surprise why the TL line is being discontinued. I loved my 2001 TL Type S. Hope Acura returns to more aggressive lines and imposing front ends.
Idk if anyone will see this comment, but isn’t it funny how back then we criticized cars for having “too much buttons”? And now? We complain of how there aren’t enough buttons!! For example, Volvo’s Sensus Connect has 0 buttons and can be difficult to use. How things change... hahah
I see a lot of jokes and people poking fun at the Acura nameplate these days. Make no mistake of it Acura is the best car on the market you can buy period. Some might say Acura is boring, outdated needs to go back to japan. Acura/Honda sells just as well worldwide as most brands we presume are doing well. Honda motors always rank #1 or one of the best in safety, reliability, initial durability, and resale value no car maker on Earth can say that in one sentence. Acura is Honda's proving grounds meaning Acura gets it 1st then proves without a shadow of a doubt its of world beating quality and Honda trickles it down to the rest of the lineup. The 3.5 VTEC from the original NSX and Legend is the same V6 you see in over 50% of Honda vehicles today. Most of Acura's original cars from the 80s 90s are still on the road...Honda has never taken a bailout and has no outside investors or parent companies. Few automakers maybe Volkswagen/Toyota can say that either. This is coming from a guy who has purchased mostly GM for 18 years.
LMAO!! Wow! Acura is the best car on the market you can buy? REALLY?? The competition says otherwise!! Look up the Cadillac CTS vsport OR the new lexus GS F sport. Both MURDER this car and probably for comparable money for what you get!

I would by the 3rd gen TL I wanted SH-AWD

Nice Review Of 2014 Acura TL. 😀
GOAT Car! I love my TL
Great review, Sofyan!
Acura is becoming the BlackBerry of the automotive world...
Awesome video! I liked some of the new footage
Great review. I am looking to get the most sporty TL from 2012 - 2014 used. What is your recommendation?
and then, what other car would you compare that two?
Dang, I was looking to pick up a TSX as they have great incentives as well, but dang the engine in the TL sounds so good! What to do???
@David Zambrano Ha. I ended up getting a TSX, then traded for an 2018 Accord 2.0, now selling the Accord and getting a 2021 TLX advance later this month. 😎
My GOD.. Need to change the front bumper for more aggressive looks
Tl are nice I have a 2012 TSX special edition I love it
Love the intro! Well done guys!
Can you please do a accord v6 2014 review. Am in the stuck between accord v6 and Acura tl
I know it's harsh, but the SOHC V6 Acura engines sound very similar to a 1998 Accord V6. Acura talks a lot about technological prowess, but the Europeans have been eating their lunch for the last few cycles.
But the Europeans would kill for Acura reliability which is ranked #1 in most recognized automotive authorities.
That’s because the 99 accord has the TLs V6 in it
Nice review Sofian! Can you do one of Mercedes benz E350 2014 ?
Amazing job!! Thanks :)
Do they still sell these? The only Acuras I see on the road these days are the RDX and MDX.
I really do like these but they are not cheap in the used car market.
Yeah they are.
That's one dirty loaner
Please review a 2013+ Genesis Coupe manual! Everyone like this comment if you agree!!!
I thought the last model of TL was 2013.
I noticed that there was a usb and power outlet in the arm rest area, but is there an aux port in the car too? He didnt say it in the review.
Thanks he told me that too. I mailed him on the Facebook page. Thanks anyway.
Yes it has aux too
2013 Accord is so much better, Honda needs to put their new tech in Acura's first and then let it trickle down, not the other way around
theoretically, that's true but Honda invest their money where they get the largest return, Honda Accords out sale Acura TL's by a bunch
most likely because this car is based on the 2009 tl, where as the accord is brand new
It's nice.
acura sounds and looks plasticky. its a shame. their designers are the worst.
I'm guessing you haven't seen the new TLX...
KardiFan2000 neither has anyone else. They've shown the TLX concept, but no one knows for sure how much of that design is going to make it into the production version.
That said, I agree with OneOfOne. Most Acura's look terrible, have no where near the luxury appointment of proper premium brands. I'm amazed the brand still even exists
What part of it looks or sounds plastic?
can you do a 2014 ford raptor sport review?
can you review a Legacy 3.6R?
i got one on lease busters (base model). great deal, 9 months old.
i think that base model is a good value. car is just too low tech and unattractive to buy full price.
does not have the usual TL touch to it
Video's not working
its not working because it hasnt been completely processed by youtube yet.

I like it but i wouldnt get one
not a big fan of the exterior particularly the back
so the 2014 Acura TL is an American car??? not japanese
No it’s Japanese

2009 was also the beginning of the economic downturn in the US so that is responsible for most of the decline in auto sales.

Agreed. 3rd generation vs 4th. Well the 4th is offered with SH-AWD. People can argue looks other than that the 4th gen is superior.
Acura nailed the performance just the way I like it
I’ll be owning a 2014 TL soon. Can’t wait
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder - As the saying goes…
Im very happy with my 08 Acura TL Type S. The last good looking TL imo. After 08 look eww.
new tlx looks promising. hopefully they don't screw it up
Acura really should be building cars with fancy technologies and engines that would wow us. Still a big fan of Acura
