Acura dealer in Houston
Normally I do my own budgeting before I go to my Acura dealer in Houston, but this time I was in a hurry. I needed a new car really bad, because my old one had suddenly broken down and I couldn’t waste the money renting a car every day. When I just showed up at the dealer, though, they didn’t rush me through anything. It was Gillman Acura.
I sat down with a salesperson from the dealer and we went online to their website to look at the loan and lease calculator. Doing that, we figured out how much I could afford to pay per month and for the car as a whole. Then they took me out to the lot of theand showed me several cars, telling me the crash test scores and everything. In the end, I was able to make an intelligent decision thanks to my Gillman Acura sales guy, Dan. Thanks Dan! 
Houston Acura
The Houston Acura dealer on the way to my job had the 2008 Acura MDX on display for the first time one day as I drove to work, and I had to pull over to look at it. I had been researching cars for a month by then, but an Acura just hadn’t even occurred to me, I guess because you don’t hear about the Acura make all of the time like you do Ford and Toyota and their like.
I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and I am very pleased. It sits seven people, which is good because I coach a soccer team. It handles well and has a powerful engine, which also suits me when I’m just driving alone. If you have not driven one of these cars in awhile you really should take the time to visit a car lot on a weekend and test drive the Acura MDX, its a great car at a great price.

When I bought a car from my Houston Acura dealer I was kind of confused about the whole process. I had tried to make a budget and figure out from looking at my credit report how much I would be paying the dealer, but when it’s your first time buying a car, it’s kind of confusing.
Lucky for me, the dealer (Gillman) that I went to had some very helpful employees. They sat me down and got out their calculator and helped me figure out, based on my credit report, how much I would end up paying every month and for how long, what the final total paid would be, and how much I would pay in interest.
Acura 2009 RL Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
What are the new features on the 2009 RL? I heard there was a redesign, and I want to see for myself at my Acura dealer in Texas.

Hello, Jason. I have been reading up on my Acura these days, and I think I can answer your question for you. As you most probably already know, the Acura RL is the Acura version of an executive-class car. Although the model has been around for years, it has gone through several changes. For the model year you want, I am sure that you will be excited enough to drive one.
First, we will go with the engine. The Acura RL of today boasts of a 3.7 Liter VTEC engine and even has SH-AWD, which is Acura’s take on the all-wheel drive system. This increases the car’s versatility on different road conditions. Even with that power on the engine, Acura made it possible to reduce emissions further. The paddle shift system in use with the Acura RL was also improved to reduce shifting time, and this should give the feel of immediate response from the car. The suspension has also been improved to give the Acura TL better handling. You should also notice that the 17” wheels from the previous model year were replaced with 18” alloy wheels. Passenger space was also given consideration and got a corresponding improvement along with noise reduction inside the cabin. Of course, being executive-class, you should have an executive feel inside the car. One more thing, with the noise reduction inside the cabin, you get to experience the awesome sound system on the Acura RL.
I guess those points should be enough and the rest should be part of your discovery when you get to test drive one around Texas.

Acura TL Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
I understand that the Acura TL is one of the best-selling cars of Acura. I want to go to an Acura dealer in Texas, but I am afraid that I might just get razzle-dazzled with all the electronics in this car. I am pretty sure I can understand the mechanical parts of the car from a brochure, but can somebody please give me some insight into the electronics? What is the best best Acura dealership in Houston?

Hi, Sid, thanks for the question. It seems that you have not kept abreast of the technology that goes into a lot of cars now. You might even be surprised that the “mechanical parts” you think you understand are even monitored electronically. But let’s not go into that. Let’s go with the electronics that you will tinker with the most and these are the ones inside the cabin. The electronics now go way beyond your AM/FM stereo of old times. Gone are the cassette tapes and 8-tracks, in way, CDs, too, are becoming old. These are just the examples.
I’ll just show you some key electronic features in the Acura TL that you might find. A little info in your hands might show a salesman that you know your Acura. You can start with the audio system in the TL. The standard system on a TL consists of an 8 speaker system, an in-dash CD player that can read mp3s and wma files (the same files that play on a computer). The optional 10 speaker premium package comes with an ELS system that reproduces sound as if you were inside a studio. It even has its own hard disk (that’s computer memory storage for you) that can keep your music in the car even without the CDs. Then there’s Bluetooth connectivity for your phone, so you won’t have to fumble for it when you drive. Cell phones, as you know, have always been cited as one cause of vehicular accidents. There is also a satellite-connected navigation system to keep you on track to wherever it is that you are going in Texas.
Hope these helped bolster your confidence to go inside an Acura dealer.
