    A great value, all that is needed in a car big trunk, seats 3 in rear with comfort. The trunk pass through is actually useful....skis - 2 x 4s

  • Best car for my money - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This vehicle not only looks good it is very comfortable, it drives and handles like a vehicle with a much higher price tag. Acura has built a high performance vehicle with all the features of a luxury automobile.

    Excellent performance sedan car for the price range

  • A great car!!! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my second Acura, my first was an Integra and I loved it. So when it was time to buy a new car I went back to Acura dealer. This car is almost perfect. It has style, is quiet and fun to drive. My only negative is the back seat, it is hard to strap in a booster seat for an older child. The seatbelt locks are hard to locate when locking them in. Maybe it would be better if they were located on the outside rather then the center.

  • Acura has a winner!! - 2003 Acura TL

    Best car on the market for under $30k. Superior quality and comfort. Bought for my wife back in April - picking up the Type-S version for myself next month. Extremely fun to drive. Plenty of power with 225 horsies. Has all the extras youd expect to find on a much more expensive sport-performance sedan. Acura has won me over!!

  • Second Acura and Loving It!! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Let me start by telling you this is my second Acura. I bought my TL type-S in 2006 because I needed to have four doors (my CL only had 2). I bought this car with 30,000 miles on it and it now has 120,000. I have NEVER had a single issue with this car...not even with the transmission. The car is powerful and confident when driving, comfortable on long drives. The cars navigation is great, the touchscreen is very user friendly. I upgraded the nav disk once in 2009. The TL is packed with everything that you would need in a car without the outrageous price tag. I am currently getting 27 mpg with both city and highway driving.

  • Excellent overall change - 2003 Acura TL

    I looked at the previews for 2004 TL and disliked its overwrought styling. The present model is elegant and classy. The TL is well-designed for long trips, the interior is superb, the handling is precise. Love the step- tronic tranny, TL accelerates quickly with a base engine; I found no need for type-S. A bargain compared to tiny BMW- 3, or 530, Benz C320, or Inf. I35. Lexus ES300 looks too much like a Camry and costs 36K+ with leather. TL is ultimately the best all-around choice. I prefer its FWD configuration because it does much better in CO winters than RWD found in 2 competing sedans.

  • OK car for the bucks - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my first Acura but it wont be my last. The car is well built. The engine is outstanding. The handling (high speed cornering) is not shabby either. The car just feels solid! nit-picks...(1) the leather could be of higher quality. (2) The glove box is a joke. (3) the stereo is over rated. The sound is not as deep as my previous car. (4) The Engine is quiet, that cannot be said for wind noise. That said, this car is still a great buy!!!!

  • Great Car! - 2003 Acura TL

    I bought my TL last Christmas and have never had any trouble with it. It is very comfortable, the Bose stereo is great, and I love the heated seats! It is great in the snow, too. I love driving now.
