What's New for the 2005 Acura TL? New sensors for the front airbag system detect the weight placed on the passenger's seat and measure the location of the driver's seat to determine deployment strategy. If less than 65 pounds is placed on the right front seat, the front passenger's airbag will not deploy. If the driver's seat is located within half an inch of its forward-most position, the driver's airbag will deploy only in dual-stage mode no matter how severe the accident, lessening the speed at which the supplemental restraint inflates to keep the driver safe.
Advantages of the 2005 Acura TL:
- Impressive performance despite front-drive layout
- Excellent quality of interior materials
- Front seat comfort
- Amazing level of standard equipment
Objections to the 2005 Acura TL: - Slightly tight rear seat legroom
- Fussy gated sequential automatic shifter
Editor's Advice: With performance, style and a full load of luxuries, the 2005 Acura TL is one of the most compelling entry-luxury sedans on the market today. Couple these benefits with a well-deserved reputation for reliability, and the TL should make your short list of $35,000 sedans to consider.
