This Year's Model Updates:

The TL has been completely redesigned for 2004. A 270-horsepower V6 is standard, and both a six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic transmission are available. The level of luxury inside the cabin is up, and driving dynamics are better than ever.

Pros:
  • Luxurious interior, long list of standard equipment, powerful V6 engine, slick-shifting six-speed manual, pleasant blend of ride comfort and fun.

  • From a 2001 to a 2004 Acura TL - 2004 Acura TL

    While I enjoyed the luxury feel of the 2001 Acura TL, compared to the new 2004 TL it was simply too sedate. The new TL is even more comfortable and just as quite to drive, but much more fun. Its more powerful engine is much more so and its handling is far superior. The improvements in interior features and the many new ones added make me feel like Ive stepped up a couple of notches in style and performance. The new TLs appearance is much sportier and quicker looking. I love it from any perspective.

    Love my Acura TL! It is fun to drive and very comfortable. I feel the car is priced well when comparing to European cars with similar features. When I have family and friends in the car with me they always compliment the ride and what a nice car it is. I agree!! Only 2 complaints about this car: 1) Poor turning radius. I previously owned a Honda Accord which could easily do a "U" turn or whip right into a parking spot, not so with the Acura TL. 2) Several blind spots due to side curtain airbags and head rests. The side curtain airbags require extra caution when turning at intersections and looking for pedestrians in the cross walk. Head rests add to blind spots for lane changes.

    This vehicle is fun to drive. Excellent quality and handling. Long list of standard features is excellent compared to other models. Smooth and excellent engine power. 6 speed is close ratio. Very comfortable cabin and well appointed. Previous car was an IS 300, the TL is far superior in all areas.

  • Great value to price ratio - 2004 Acura TL

    I recently purchased my 04 TL with 27,000 miles on it. I wanted something a little nicer than my Accord, but with the same features (navigation, etc). TL seemed like a perfect fit. Since driving the vehicle for a month now I have noticed some wear and tear that seems excessive considering the mileage of the car and presumed quality associated with Acura. Annoying rattles are common and the fuel economy could be better (I get around 25-27). However, when comparing the price tag for a comparable European vehicle, the TL is an absolute steal and I would recommend this vehicle.

    I have only had the TL for one week but it is everything the reviews say it is. The fit and finish is excellent inside and out. It had no defects or problems. I had an Audi A4. This car is a much better value and reliablity should be much better.

  • The Blind Spot - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I have had my car for about a month and have loved everything about it except one thing, the blind spot. The Blind spot on both sides is enough to drive you crazy. If you are sitting in traffic you can watch cars disapear into it.

  • What a Ride!!!!! - 2004 Acura TL

    In all honesty, this has to be one of the best cars of 2004. Test drove everything else above and below this category and nothing comes close for the all mightly $$$$$$.

  • Greatest TL - 2004 Acura TL

    Fantastic inside, outside and under the hood.

  • Love this car - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive owned my 3.2 TL for nearly 3 years and cant think of a car Id rather have. This is the longest I kept a vehicle in 20 years. It drives great, handles well, is comfortable and has just the right amount of technology. Much better than the BMW 525 and Lexus ES 350 that Ive owned recently. Cant wait to see the next generation, hope its an improvement.
