Engine

The base 2012 Acura TL comes with a V6 3.5 liter engine that delivers 280 horsepower and 254 lbs/ft of torque. The Acura TL SH-AWD trim is equipped with a V6 3.7 liter engine that brings 305 horsepower and 273 lbs/ft of torque. These engines are available in two transmissions.

First, which is standard in the base and SH-AWD trims, is the 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Second, which is available for the SH-AWD 6MT models, is the 6-speed manual transmission.

Performance

Without a doubt, any of the engine options deliver adequate power. And you will be happy to discover that the power generated by the V6 is complemented by its excellent handling. The balance is obvious, especially during turns and through curves. However, the power steering seems to provide more assistance than necessary, making you feel that something is absent. Nonetheless, its brakes are strong, greatly contributing to the sporty feel of the TL.

Exterior

The front layout for the Acura TL looks sharp because of its narrow headlights and narrow front grille. You will neither see many lines nor profound curves. Acura seem to deviate from the trend of having organic shapes and nature inspired flowing lines of today’s sporty sedans. Everything looks smooth and sleek, giving us the impression that the TL wants to keep its sporty performance a secret until you start revving the engine.

Interior

The interior of the Acura TL is practical but never devoid of luxury. It is obvious that Acura put a lot of thought into it because the legroom and the headroom for all the seats are adequate for full grown adults. Taller drivers and passengers have no complaints about it. The seats do not only provide a high-quality feel, they also provide excellent lumbar support. Driving the new Acura TL is very comfortable.

Safety

The new Acura TL received “good” scores in all the tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Therefore, the IIHS labeled it as a “Top Safety Pick.” The Acura TL comes with the standard safety features such as anti-lock brakes, air bags, brake assist, head restraints and electronic brake distribution.

Reliability

The Acura TL comes with a 4-year standard warranty, a powertrain warranty that lasts for six years and a 5-year exterior rust warranty. It also has 24 hour roadside assistance, travel and emergency services as part of their Total Luxury Care. They also have the unique 15-year seatbelt warranty.

Pros

The 2012 TL gives great value for upscale midsize cars. It has a fresh styling for its interior that is made of quality materials. The cabin is spacious and comfortable; it has user-friendly high tech features and superior sound system (optional). It has capable engines, good handling and most of all, it is a Top Safety Pick of the IIHS.

Cons

It runs on premium gas. It may deter car shoppers but EPA estimated that the new Acura TL is more fuel efficient than other cars in its class.

If you are looking for a capable, stylish, fuel efficient and comfortable upscale midsize sedan, the 2012 Acura TL is definitely a better choice.

Competition

Tight competition can be expected from the likes of the Infiniti G37 (MSRP $36,900; 19 city / 27 hwy), the Lexus ES350 (MSRP $36,725; 19 city / 28 hwy), and the BMW 335i (MSRP $42,400; 20 city / 30 hwy) which is the highest priced among the four vehicles.

“The 2012 Acura TL undergoes a substantial freshening with revised styling, a new transmission, and new features. ”Consumer Guide

“The freshened 2012 TL is a pleasant car, but no longer excels in this class. Its slick 3.5-liter V6 and six-speed automatic form a strong powertrain that returns a good 24 mpg overall. We found the handling taut and the ride compliant, but the vague steering is short on feedback.”MSN Auto-ConsumerReports

“The 2012 Acura TL upgrade is a little show, a little go. Underneath the exterior changes the TL sports a new six-speed automatic transmission that delivers more miles per gallon.”KBB

Engine

There are several engines that you can put inside the hood of the 7 Series. First is the 4.4 liter turbocharged V8 engine that delivers 500 horsepower and 516 lbs/ft of torque, the 6-cylinder 3.0 liter turbocharged engine that brings 326 horsepower and 332 lbs/ft of torque, and the turbocharged 6.0 liter V12 engine that produces 544 horsepower and 553 lbs/ft of torque.

Performance

The numbers provided for the 7 Series engine only means one thing: power. In fact, even the 6 cylinder engine does well and is comparable to the performance of some of its V8-equipped competitors. You wouldn’t have any reasons to shy away from this engine if you are looking performance.

If you want more, you can certainly go for the stronger engines. And despite its huge size and powerful engines, the 7 Series is light on its feet. With its 50/50 weight distribution, it remains composed even on twisted roads.

Exterior

The 7 Series bears the distinctive BMW front grille and shapely headlights. There are no flowing lines and well pronounced curves which make the car look a little bit boring. But that is understandable because the 7 series is not a sports car. It has a polished look that can certainly please those who have an eye for elegance.

Interior

The cabin of the 7 Series is spacious and the interiors are made of quality materials. Both the front and back seats provide adequate room for passengers. However, the base model lacks some important features such as the heated front seats which the Mercedes Benz S-Class and Lexus LS offer as standard. Nevertheless, it is equipped with high tech features such as USB/iPod connection, navigation, Bluetooth and improved iDrive.

Safety

The BMW 7 Series has never been crash tested by the Insurance Institute on Highway Safety and the federal government. This is not an unusual case for super luxury cars because they are expensive. The 7 Series, nevertheless, comes with standard safety features such as anti-lock brakes, airbag and active head restraints.

Reliability

The 7 Series comes with a bumper to bumper 4-year warranty. All scheduled maintenance within the one year scheduled service is free. This warranty is unique in its class.

Pros

The BMW 7 Series has capable engine options that suit those who always want to have plenty of choices. Its handling is excellent and is adaptive to different driving conditions. The iDrive system is improved and all the interior features are useful for modern devices. The interiors are made of quality materials and the cabin is spacious.

Cons

The base model lacks important features. Although the interior is of high quality, it is not as luxurious as those from its competitors.

Competition

There are others that the 7 Series have been compared to when it comes to value and quality, these include the likes of the Audi A7 (MSRP $60,100; 18 city / 28 hwy), the Jaguar XJ sedan (MSRP $73,700; 16 city / 23 hwy), and the Lexus LS460 (MSRP $67,630; 16 city / 24 hwy).

The variety of engine and the excellent handling as well as the excellent package may make the 7 series a winner. Although there are some drawbacks, the 2012 BMW 7 Series is still a great car that is worthy of your consideration.

What others say:

“Whether you’re moving into the Equinox from a mid-size car or from a more trucklike SUV, you’ll find a lot to like in the cabin design. The driving position is excellent–upright yet carlike–and the seats are better and more supportive than those in a lot of small crossovers.”Car Connection

“Generally competent and car-like. Body lean in turns is well controlled. Equinox 4-cylinder models have electric power steering that’s designed to increase fuel economy, but it lacks road feel. The V6’s hydraulic power steering doesn’t feel much better. A surprisingly large turning radius can complicate close-quarters maneuvering. Braking is smooth and progressive.”Consumer Guide

“If you like the idea of driving a small SUV, but you want carlike ride and handling, excellent gas mileage, cutting-edge navigation, audio and cell-phone connectivity and you demand it all in a vehicle with a strong sense of style, the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox will likely meet all your criteria and then some.”KBB

What others say:

“The Tahoe’s big interior room doesn’t translate into an easily-accessed third-row seat, but in other positions, most passengers will find good comfort.”Car Connection

“Alert reactions to steering. These are tall, heavy vehicles, so they never feel nimble. But there’s no excessive body lean in turns with the base suspension, and even less with Autoride. Low-speed maneuverability is aided by a relatively tight turning circle. The brakes feel strong, but some testers want better pedal modulation.”Consumer Guide

“The Tahoe has a compliant ride, good interior quality, and comfortable seats. Towing capability is impressive, but the 5.3-liter V8 is unrefined.”MSN Auto-ConsumerReports

“Chevrolet has pushed the 2012 Tahoe SUV’s full-size body-on-frame platform to limits of what such a design can do, and the results are quite impressive.”KBB

“The 2012 Chevy Tahoe deserves strong consideration when shopping for a large, traditional SUV, thanks to its comfortable cabin, road manners and impressive towing capacity. But for pure passenger use, a large crossover might work out better.”Edmunds
