  Dont buy it! - 2003 Acura TL
  By rockpub - August 14 - 10:36 am

  Have had 3 transimissions in this car, so far, not to mention little annoying items that dont work or break (air vents close when fan on high, center console latch broke within 2 months of purchase, etc.). Given the purchase price and expected quality, am extremely disappointed in this car. Will never buy another Acura!

  Performs great. Handles well, gas mileage is adequate (but uses highest octane) and the car has a nice sporty appearance. I drive this car to work daily.

  The Acura TL is the best car I have ever owned, and if I were to buy another car today, I would get another TL. It comes loaded with every possible convenience and option standard (except navigation), and it is a terrific value. I plan on keeping my car for many years to come. Acura sets the gold standard.

  Caveat emptor - 2003 Acura TL
  By skpjah - July 12 - 3:07 pm

  Bought it used - since then the Bose radio went out the drivers side heated seat element went bad the headlight lens leaked and the HID transfomer went out the dash lights went out the sunroof, dash and other components rattle. Almost all have been fixed but the repairs were very expensive and not what I expected to have to deal with on an Acura. This is the Honda Motor Car Co. premium brand vehicle and it certainly wasnt built like it!

  I love the navigation system -- onstar was superfluous--difficult to use and not worth the investment. The navi system is amazing. Doesnt do the shortcuts I can do in familiar areas, but it gets me to all the strange places, and I know Ill get there. The car is superpeppy with just about every convenience imaginable. I do wish it had a telescoping sterring wheel.

  Near Perfection. No competition - 2003 Acura TL
  By Acura1 - July 2 - 10:00 am

  The TL type S puts the competition to shame. We drove the Infiniti G-35 and there was no comparison. The transmission is exceptional. The acceleration is awesome. When using the sport shift feature the Acura gives you total control after second gear. The manumatic in the Infiniti takes over if you hold it a lower gear for too long. It defeats the purpose. Interior is very user friendly. Exterior is slightly on the modest side with a bid too much chrome for a sport model.

  2003 Acura TL Type-S - 2003 Acura TL
  By vman - June 25 - 10:34 pm

  Upscale Accord. Wish I chose the G35 or 330i which had better resale and reliability. Ride is jittery, stiff and not comfortable on city trips. Leather is low quality and went out of shape. Good room inside and seats are OK on long trips. Very thin paint. Squeaks and rattles appeared after first year. CD player broke 4 times. Like any big FWD sedan, the TL eats up front rotors on a regular basis coz they are nose heavy cars. I had tranny issues covered by the P/T warranty. Acura extended the trans warranty but long-term use became doubtful. Resale value took a big hit due to the tranny recalls of TLs and other Hondas. This could have been a good car if they offered it in stick.

  By rajesh - June 22 - 10:00 am

  If you are trying to find a car for a good price, this is the car for you. this is better than INFINITI g35 and NISSAN 350z. ACURA 3.2 TL is the best car ever built. Best sound system, has a lot of power and ummph.. to it. YOu will not be dissappointed with this car.

  TL-TypeS Rules! - 2003 Acura TL
  By mrosett - June 14 - 2:00 am

  I was considering the Nissan Maxima fully loaded w/Navigation. They were going to wheel and deal, then after getting a price and going to drive the TL-TypeS...there was no question in my mind. The 2Gs extra for 260hp and 2Gs extra for the navigation was the smartest thing I ever did (well...pretty smart)! Anyways, I love my car, it fun and sturdy. You can just tell by the solid sound the door makes when it closes that this car is well built. When you go test drive it, you wont even hesitate.
