By moving the floor shitter to a separate gate. the drwer can shift up manually Iw pushing forwards, and stitt down bx pushing back wards, The Sportshift compares well with other semi-auto matic transmisstans, such as Porsche's Tiptronic and Cinrvsler’s Autostick. There is very Tittle lag time between pushing the lever and changing gears. Like the previous TL, the new model has a fully inde- pendent double wishbone suspension, but the new TL has a mors compact 3-link rear suspension which allows more cabin room and trunk space. Tire size has been increased from 15 inch to 16 inch, and the front dise brakes are now larger (four- wheel disc brakes and ABS are standard). For a front-wheel-drive ear, the 3.2TL has very stable, neutral handling, excellent balance. and minimal dive under heavy braking. The body is extremely stiff, and there's very little noise ar vibration communi- cated to the passenger com- partment. Handling improvements nade with front-wheel-drive cars continue to amaze me vear after year. Compared to the 1998 3.2TL, the 1999 model is 35 mm longer, 20 mm taller, and the wheelbase is 95 mm shorter. Despite a shorter wheelbase, the pas- senger cabin is slighty larger and the 405 fitre trunk is 4% bigger. The interior offers plenty of headroom and Jegroom for front and rear passengers and has a pleasing combina- tion of vinyl, wood trim, and brushed steel surfaces. The centre console has an unusual design with wood trim on the sides of the console. The 3.2TL is oftered in one trim level only, and standard equipment is exten- sive. Sr includes leather seats, power heated front seat cushions and seatbacks, automatic climate control, Acura Bose 180 wart: AM/§M/cassette and in- dash CD player, cruise con- tral, power windows and door locks, power moon- root, speed-sensitive inter- mittent wipers, Homelink garage door opencr, theft deterrent system and immobilizer, front and rear cupholders, P205/60R- 16 inch tires and alloy wheels.
