Reviews of the 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD

CNET Review
The Good: Making an angry growl over 5,000 rpm, the 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD's engine provides good power and decent fuel economy. Highlights of the cabin tech include hard-drive-based navigation, onboard music storage, and a good iPod connector.
The Bad: The instrument panel and steering wheel of the TL SH-AWD are button-happy. While the five-speed automatic is better than previous versions, we look forward to an upcoming manual transmission option.
The Bottom Line: The 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD tries to strike a balance between comfortable commuter car and weekend sport driver, but leans towards the former. Cutting edge cabin tech increases the comfort level and gives it a practical edge.
