  • Excess tire wear - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    4 years and I am still pleased with the car. the "bumps along the way" - went through a set of Avon tires in 12K miles. Complained to the dealer and the parts manager was able to diagnose that there was a suspension recall (the bump stops) that may cause the excess tire wear. They comped two tires, did the recall and so far so good. Well see in about 20K miles!

  • Whats wrong with me? - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    So many people like this car. I purchased new based on short test drive & Consumer Reports review. This car looks great, particularly the exterior (I rated 10). However the suspension is very harsh, nothing luxurious about it. The car plows on turns due to the heavy front end (front wheel drive). It even hydroplanes more than most. Maybe Im too old for this ride @ 44 but my take is pretty package, lousy car. I traded after only 1 year

  • My Acura TL has been Great! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle over 3 years ago and have put over 60,000 trouble free miles on it. I had minimal problems and the vehicle is fun to drive. I plan on keeping the car for several more years. The color combination with pearl outside still turns heads! It has been by far the best vehicle I have ever owned!

  • Great Experience - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Bought this car used two years ago, so was a little concerned with hidden problems. No problems whatsoever. Still a head turner, even for a four+ year old car. Styling is excellent, inside and out. Interior layout is great. Not too bad on gas -- 21 in town and 26 on highway. Decided to take the plunge and switched to regular unleaded a few months ago and havent noticed any negative effects. Lots of features and styling for the money would buy one again. Acura seems to have hit a wide market here. Teenagers to grannies love this car.

  • Love it! - 2004 Acura TL

    I went to test drive the TL, expecting to eliminate it from my search. As soon as I sat in it, I fell in love! The ride is so smooth, the interior design is great, the new exterior is so much sportier than last years model.

  • Great Car!! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I have had two Acuras now and have no regrets! I get awesome mpg (25-29) per tank. The comfort of this vehicle is amazing. The car is very easy to handle and great on curvy roads. I have the anthracite gray which is very easy to keep clean! :) I have no problems with this TL or my previous 01 3.2 CL. I put 180K miles on my CL and currently have 72K on my TL. Both vehicles run excellent and I have absolutely no complaints to say about my choices!

  • 6th Acura...best one yet - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I traded in my 01 Mercedes E430 which I absolutely loved...had one day of withdrawal and have never looked back. Lets see...old Mercedes worth half the $60K I paid for it after three years & a new one at close to $70K vs a new TL at half the price which, in three years will still be worth $20 to 25K. Ill take the TL and put the money Ill save to much better use. Besides its the smartest car on the planet. It still doesnt quite drive & handle like a Benz...but who cares, its way more fun to drive and the electronics package blows everything else away. Test drive one...you wont be dissapointed.

  • First Acura and pleased so far. - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    We bought this TL recently for my wifes primary car and are very pleased with it. Its a great looking and very solid feeling car. The interior looks like new except for the metal trim pieces everyone seems to complain about that are nicked and dinged. Also climate and radio display face is pitted and shows it bad in the sun. The car has great power and gets 30+ mpg on freeway. The car has 67570 miles and I havent noticed any rattles or problems yet but it is still new to us. The seats look new. I bought it because I like the features and Honda quality plus it came certified with manufacturers warranty. Manual shift auto is useless though, I just leave it in drive.
