Cars.com

The 2007 Acura TL is among the best sedan choices in safety. Reviews consulted by TheCarConnection.com noted no key problem areas.

ConsumerGuide takes care to point out a few key features, such as "ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags." Cars.com hits many of the same points, adding that "a passenger-side position sensor controls airbag deployment. An electronic stability system is standard."

The IIHS gave the 2007 Acura TL top ratings of "good" for frontal offset tests and side impact tests. The federally funded NHTSA awarded the 2007 Acura TL five stars in all categories.

Conclusion

Electronic stability control, a full roster of airbags, and near-perfect test scores, in a sturdy mid-size sedan, means you can have some peace of mind in choosing the 2007 Acura TL.

Other Choices:

For drivers who are moving up from an entry-level high-end sedan, the 2007 Acura RL is just one of many options. In general, the V-6 engine and all-wheel drive aren't exactly matched elsewhere; other manufacturers offer an available V-8 but don’t necessarily include all-wheel drive. Most rivals employ rear-wheel drive, although the RL stands as surprisingly sporty in feel in comparison. The RL does have a few practical advantages as well―namely, top reliability scores and resale values, making it a great choice for long-term ownership.
