Reader’s Question:
I want to check out the Acura dealer here in Texas. Is the TL really the most powerful Acura ever built? Can you tell me more about the car?

Hello, Steven! Good question that you threw in. Would the people in Texas care to know if the 2009 Acura TL is the most powerful Acura ever built? The classic approach to answer this question is to look at the specification sheets. You can immediately notice that the 2009 Acura TL 5-speed AT can hit about 280 horsepower while its more powerful brother, the 2009 Acura TL-SH-AWD 5-speed AT can do about 305 horsepower at 6300 rpm. Compare that to the 2009 Acura TSX which does 204 horsepower at 7000 rpm and the 2009 Acura RDX’s 240 at 6000 rpm, I can say that the 2009 TL is more powerful than the 2 other cars.
But of course, with that power issue resolved, what else is there in the 2009 Acura TL? It depends on the trim/model you would like. The standard Acura TL 5-speed AT is already an excellent drive according to testers but a lot are amazed with the integration of SH-AWD into the more powerful 305 horsepower variant. I think it’s also an interesting match. By putting in more power, adding Super Handling All Wheel Drive greatly increases control over the vehicle. That’s driving performance for you. For your driving comfort and convenience the Acura TL comes loaded with an assortment of electronic goodies that’s best experienced than told. I suggest that you try to set a test drive with your nearby Acura dealer and experience the car.
