For the midsize luxury sport sedan, the Acura TL SH-AWD 0-60 traditionally has been one of the better options available. Even though the Acura TL in general does not provide the similar prestige or excitement of its European competitors, this sedan still counters with its above-average reliability and durability, and exceptional value. The current Acura TL has reached its fourth generation. And still, bracing performance and cutting-edge technology aren’t something unfamiliar for the TL. In the end, Acura TL still makes a fine choice even if you decide to buy a used luxury sport sedan.

In general, as a midsize sedan, Acura TL offers a roomy interior. It comes with a powerful V6 engine under the hood, in addition to an available all-wheel drive system too. A host of gizmos and gadgets are also boasted to keep most luxury shoppers impressed and satisfied. Two trim levels are offered: A base model and the SH-AWD for sportier performance. The Acura TL SH-AWD is powered by a 3.7L V6 that is capable of producing total output of 305 horsepower. The engine is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. The steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters are available as standard on both trims.

The SH-AWD model for Acura TL boasts the 18-inch alloy wheels, upgraded brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, xenon headlights, interior upholstery in performance them with metallic trim, sportier feel for steering wheel, and an 7-speaker stereo. But those are only a few compared to what the Acura TL can actually provide to spoil its buyers.

The abundance of high tech amenities are one reason to make you should consider this midsize luxury sport sedan. Apart from that, the cabin is also roomy for the comfort of both driver and passengers. A sophisticated stereo system also comes, packed as one. All of them seem to make the few missteps nearly go unnoticed, such as unremarkable brakes and uncommunicative steering. The SH-AWD version is much more compelling than the base model, thanks to its excellently crisper braking and handling. The current Acura TL is even one of just a few to earn a top grade in revised crash test standards by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

First debuted in 1995, Acura TL had its first upgrade for its 1999 model year with better and more powerful engine. The second generation lasted through 2003, followed by the third generation that was available for 2004 to 2008 model years. The current generation of Acura TL SH-AWD 0-60 debuted for the 2009 model.
