Although the 2008 Acura TL is one of the more affordable models produced by the manufacturer this year, it leaves consumers wanting nothing. From safety and security to luxury and convenience, this four door sedan has a little bit of everything, making it an excellent value for cost conscious consumers who like high end automobiles without the massive price tag.

As far as performance goes, a 3.5 liter V-6 engine, paddle shifters, suspension tuning, Brembo brakes and a high-flow exhaust system all come standard on the ‘08 TL, with an optional upgrade to a six speed manual transmission available. Still, all of that power doesn’t come at the expense of safety. For example, ABS, EBD and brake assist all come with the starting sticker price, which is $33,725.

That said, what makes a luxury car like Acura’s 2008 TL something special are the creature comforts that come along with such a high end brand name. Passengers and drivers alike will benefit from the automatic climate control in two different zones, as well as an above average air filtration system. If more than one driver will be taking the car out for a drive, personalized settings can make light work of adjusting the seat and mirrors. Optional voice recognition is a new and impressive bit of technology that has been added to this model and is sure to please.

A company that builds cars with safety in mind, Acura left no details overlooked with the 2008 TL model. A child safety LATCH system and anti-pinch system keeps families with small children secure, while dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags combine with side and side curtain airbags to keep older passengers just as safe in the event of an accident. A sweet navigation and sound system round out some of the many notable features included.
