I am so happy with my 2012 Acura. I purchased it in Feb. 2015 after looking online and stopping in to do a test drive. Within 1 week, the Acura I purchased arrived from another state. It is a beautiful car and much more than I expected. It was spotless inside and out and looked brand new. I was very impressed with the sales staff as I felt no pressure what-so-ever to make the purchase. It was a great experience and I have recommended many people to shop through Carmax and will continue to recommend Carmax in the future.

Pros

Styling: This car is stylish and sporty.
Technology and Entertainment: This vehicle includes the technology package with GPS. I don't know how I was getting along without the GPS in my old car.
Cabin Noise: One thing is was looking for in my new car was Quietness. I wanted to be able to roll up the window and not hear any outside sounds. I also did not want to hear loud engine sounds. The 2012 Acura is like being in a capsule. It is so quiet and I am completely satisfied!

While doing research to replace a 2010 Subaru Impreza Wagon 2.5i Premium, I wanted to go back to a 6-cylinder near luxury 4-door sedan. I started my research with the usual suspects: Cadillac, Infiniti, and Lexus. Acura simply did not cross my mind until I test drove the TL. The TL while it doesn't have the horsepower of the G37, the refinements and the torque made the difference for me. While I was test driving the G37 I kept thinking that I was driving a 6-cylinder Altima. It was too cramped on the back seat and it felt too narrow compared to the TL. I know I made a great purchase because this car will last and look good for years to come.

Pros

Cabin Noise: This is truly a great experience. I have owned near luxury vehicles as the Acura TL and I can say with certainty that it is one of the quietest cabins I have ever been in.
Power: It might not be very powerful based on the paper specs (280 hp) but it is misleading. This vehicle is powerful from the line and while you're cruising you can just press the gas pedal and off you go.
Ride and Handling: The ride and handling of this vehicle is one of the key features that attracted me to the TL to being with. While I was doing my research I was just going back to what I knew which is Cadillac. I was pleasantly surprised with the agility, responsiveness, and quickness.

Cons

Technology and Entertainment: My only complaint is the Bluetooth. While I may be able to hear the other party, I receive complaints from how they hear me. And to place a call using voice commands is very complicated. The interface is not logical and not user friendly.

Great car, with great features. The car is pretty quick and I have to be careful on the freeway. I bought this car because I was going to be traveling from Seattle to Portland several times a month and I needed a car that would be reliable and comfortable, and also would fit our family the rest of the time. The wife fights me for it on days when I am not traveling and the kids love riding in it. The only real downside is the gas mileage. You need premium gas and it averages around 26 to 27 mpg even with heavy freeway driving. I've got it up to 31 mpg when it was exclusively freeway driving, but as soon as you do some city driving it dips down. Overall, it's a great car and I highly recommend it.

Pros

Ride and Handling: Smooth ride and responsive handling
Power: V6 has plenty of power and the sport mode provides quick shifts
Interior Space: Cabin is luxurious and materials are very nice. Tech package provides extra features that are really handy

Cons

Fuel Economy: Gas mileage could be a little better, but it is a V6 and it's probably not realistic that it competes with hybrids
