Consumer Review Video - 2012 Acura TL 3.5L V6

Car Displayed: 2012 Acura TL 3.5L V6

The 2012 Acura TL has many lengthy procedures, which makes maintaining it rather difficult. For the headlights you will need to pry back the wheel well lining, and for the highbeams in particular you will need to remove multiple panels and other parts in the engine bay. Also under those panels is the air filter, whose housing is secured by multiple bolts. The tail lights also have problematic access, as the bolts that secure their housing are hidden behind many pieces of trunk lining held on by multiple fasteners.

However, the 2012 Acura TL does have some highlights. Its cabin air filter is easy to access behind a single panel in the glove box. The transmission fluid dipstick is reliably accessible right in front of the engine. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, allowing for quick access in the event of a flat.
