Worst mistake Ive Made - 2003 Acura TL
By tmcdhs - August 27 - 2:00 amStill drive my 90 legend and performs well. Thought I would upgrade for an 03 TL, what a mistake. We have put 10k on the car sense purchase and its been in the shop four times and they still cant fix it. Cruise goes off with the slightest bump in the road. Dealer adjusted brake pedal and car locked up all four wheels and had to be towed three different times. Seat heaters very minimally if at all. Trying like the dickens to get rid of it. Cant depend on it to take the family on a trip, so it just sits in my garage... Bose Stereo sounds a bit better than AM

Overpriced HONDA - 2003 Acura TL
By joann - August 24 - 10:00 amThis car is a pony in a horserace. The advertised 260hp does not appear unless you floor the gas pedel. There is little or no torque, actually my mothers camry has more bottem end in normal driving. The ride is very rough an unrefined causing just about everything to rattle. The interior is cheap and is a carryover from a $16K Honda Accord with splashes of leather. DONT buy it...get the loaded Honda Accord if you are in this market.

think twice - 2003 Acura TL
By hshanka - September 13 - 2:00 amI bought this car last month and have had lots of probs. Some of the them: dashboard makes rattling noise,roof makes a rattling noise,steering wheel makes scratchy noise on rotating more than 180deg,strip coming off the moonroof.What makes the situation worse is the fact that these problems occur one after other and I have to keep making trips to the dealer. I called corporate acura asking if I could have my vehicle replaced or have my money back, but they just werent empathetic and all they said was Id have to keep taking it back to the dealer until I get all the problems fixed!I thought acura was a good car but regret making the purchase.

what the dealer does not tell you untill - 2003 Acura TL
By whatever - November 28 - 10:00 amWhat the dealer does not tell you is that the TL and The TLs models do not interchange. Tires will not exchange and neither will the upgraded struts and you cannot cannot install a stabilizer bar. I found this out the following week and tried to upgrade to the TLS and they wanted a 10,000 dollar difference. Bottom line is You do not want the TL only the TLS!

Not What I Expected - 2003 Acura TL
By Dean206 - July 18 - 2:00 amConvinced to trade new, 1.5 month old, gorgeous 03 Maxima SE on new 03 Acura TL. Each day since purchase, (6 months ago) Ive regretted purchasing the 03 TL. Maxima was much faster, thrill to drive; loved engine, exterior, interior (everything). Honestly dont care for the Acura at all (engine, interior, exterior). Acura rides rough, and is sluggish relative to Maxima. Sometimes bump head (only 60" tall) when getting in (even with seat at lowest point). Loved the last Acura Legend, but 03 TL falls short. No complaints about reliability, but I plan to get a 2003 Maxima this year (dont like look of 2004 Maxima).
