UGGGGGGGGLY. Looks too robotic or something.

Looks like a Transformer.

Can't be worse than the interior of the last TL model. Specifically the location of certain switches, like the mirror controls and trunk release and the blue lights on the dash. Drives well though.

Gotta admit, I'm a big fan of those blue lights lol. My TSX has them - love them

i don't mind the interior of the last TL model, very comfortable with it. The 09s SUCK ASS

I don't really hate it, although the blue lights that glow at night take a lot of getting used to, but it's really frustrating when I drive it. I've almost killed myself a few times trying to find and use the side mirror controls because the steering wheel completely blocks them. And I have to turn the car off to use the key fob when I want to pop the trunk because I can never find the trunk release. Those are the 2 most annoying and recurring things. Oh, and it could use a cup holder in a more accessible location.

What sucks ass about the next one? My mother loves her Acura's and will most likely get another one when her lease expires in a few months. Did you drive it?

I didn't drive it, I think it's the same engine but with more horsepower. Everything looks and feels cheaper on the interior. Different layout, not as compact, just a cheap feel.

For me, I never adjust the sideview mirrors, really this should be a one and done if you don't share a car. And the cup holder is a little bit further back than on some cars but I don't drive a ton so it's no bother for me. I can't even find the trunk release that is not on the FOB LOL.

I don't drive it often and my mother is a foot shorter than I am so everything needs to be adjusted. No doubt that's a huge part of my frustration. But yeah, on my truck I never adjust the mirrors. LOL Glad to know I'm not alone on the trunk release. It was in a different spot on the model before. I think they moved it to mess with people.

i got this in '03 & it's still running strong... most reliable car i've ever owned & quick enough to satisfy the HS'er in me from time to time:




i used to own this '00 GTi vr6 & '00 jetta but they gave me a ton of problems w/recalls & whatnot... never buying a VW ever again:




before that i had this '95 eclipse GST... did some engine work, intake, exhaust & suspension upgrades to it & had it running pretty nice, but had to sell it... lotsa fond memories on the track w/this car:




& first car i ever owned was a '89 mustang GT 5.0 (looked just like this one w/o the chrome wheels)... got it used at an auction & had all kinds of electrical problems but u never forget ur first car:




next on my wishlist (sorry about the gizz spillage on the screen):
