Expert Quotes:

Good," frontal impact and side impact
IIHS

Five stars in all categories except driver side test
NHTSA

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:

The Lexus ES 350 is perhaps the most direct competitor to the Acura TL; both are front-wheel drive and offer a way to step up to the superior dealership experience of a luxury brand, although neither strays tremendously from its Camry and Accord roots. The 2007 Acura TL also takes on the more docile of the German sports sedans, including the A4 and 3 Series, though both models are a bit more serious. The TL’s interior stands out from the pack, with superior materials and a brighter, more exciting overall design; it’s also a bit roomier than either German rival. All-wheel drive is fast becoming a differentiator in this class as well; the TL doesn’t yet have it, but it’s available in the A4 and the 3 Series, along with the Subaru Legacy GT, which takes on the sporty side of the TL. There’s also the Nissan Maxima, a front-wheel-drive sport sedan that, like the TL, can disappoint hard-core performance enthusiasts who need to carve canyons; the Maxima’s interior is as attractive as the TL’s, though the lack of lux-brand cachet is a con.
