  • Good but not German - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    After owning many German cars (of VW/Audi/BMW makes) I jumped to this American/Japanese blend. Great value for money, sprightly performance, and leap years beyond other Honda products (including the previous generation TL). Its just not up to European (or Infiniti G35) standards on fit and finish, performance and overall haptics.

  • For "Smart People"! - 2004 Acura TL

    Just about perfect,next step should be four wheel drive.

  • Glad I Bought the New TL: - 2004 Acura TL

    I have to admit that I was a little nervous about spending 30+ thousand on a car. It is a little more than my wife and I wanted to spend. But, it was well worth it. There is no doubt that the extra money we spent is worth the investment. The safety features are nice and the interior is perfect. The dealer experience was pretty good. The finance guy did push the extended warrenty, entirely too much. Over all the care rides nicely, handles well and accelerates like a $50,000 BMW. While getting on the highway last night, I gunned it. The car took off like canon. It felt great. Plus it is an Acura, and hopefully we wont be buying a car anytime soon.

  • Best Value - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    The new 2004 TL is a great car. I have very few bad things to say about it. All that is important is that I do not regret buying this car one bit. Dont fall into the BMW trap. The TL is a much better car. All the performance reviews will say BMW is better, but come on, who drives either of these cars to the extreme??? The TL is loaded and luxurious. The BMW is a overpriced piece of Bavarian crap.

  • Awesome New Acura!!! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Driven the car for 3 weeks and am absolutely amazed at the great standard features and redesign at this price point. Love it, love it, love it. Handled awesomely in the snow and heavy rains.

  • Finest car around - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is the finest car around for the money. I owned a TL previously and loved it. This is even better.

  • What a sweet ride--Exceeds Expectations. - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    What a sweet ride--Exceeds Expectations. The anticipation I suffered over the last three months was unbearable. As soon as the wife gave me the OK to purchase, I could not sleep very well. This is my first front wheel drive vehicle, and it did not take long to acclimate. I opted for the Anthracite_Ebony_6MT_Navi_HPT and I do not have a single regret. If you work hard and enjoy your life.. Enjoy Acuras new 2004 TL. Truly worth every dollar, and the competition cant come close to this vehicle, for the price. Life is too short--Experience the 04TL today!

  • Near perfect - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    This car should be the standard to how all cars are built in the future. Put 1000 miles on it in 8 days. The technology and ergonomics are almost perfect. The Navigation is the best on the market. Voice commands not perfect but close. The handling for the majority(99%) of drivers is excellent. the 0-60times are very believable and the v6 kind of sounds like a v8 untill 5000rpm when it screams. Very fun car and I havent got to the bluetooth yet.

  • Move over BMW - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    As a former owner of 2 BMW I can not recall a more enjoyable driving experience of performance, luxury, and comfort. Look forward to the reliability of the Acura vs the shop $$$$ spent on the BMW.

  • Outstanding - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    This is a great car with a good blend of fun and practical. I just cant believe that the TSX beats it in these Consumer ratings! My 2004 TL beats every TSX Ive been in (including 2008) in every way except one: the exterior styling on the TSX is way better. The TL needs cosmetic surgery, but its a fantastic ride.
