2010 | 4dr Sedan 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The front seats in this automobile are trimmed in supple leather yet are nice and firm in the European style for all day comfort. I look forward to some longer trips once spring arrives. see full Acura TL review |

I like the looks, but there is a downside. As a geezer, getting in and out of the car is not easy. You sit down low, and it has these little gangster windows. see full Audi TT review |
