  • Great Car! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    After several weeks of lusting after the new TL, I succumbed and went in and bought one. The car has exceeded expectations (which were high)in every way. It looks great and runs better still. I was after a car that was nice, but not a statement car (like a BMW) and one that not every Joe on the street owned (like an Audi). The Acura TL is perfect - fast, fun to drive and uncommon. Perfect!

  • Nice, but Rattles A LOT - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I tried all the competition and chose this car because I got the most bang for the buck. So, for the most part, it was the best choice in terms of price, quality, engine, transmission, power, options, etc. However, it NEEDS a smoother shifting transmission and the rattles and the little noises drive me crazy. The car sounds like it is 100- years old and it keeps getting worse. As long as I turn volume on radio up, I’m good. All-in-all pretty good car.

  • Blown Away - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had the TL for over a month now and I love it. The thrill of being able to maneuver on highways without worrying about whether the car has enough power and the way the TL handles turns at high speeds with such ease continues to awe me everyday. This is simply the best car in its class for your hard earned dollars.

  • A Real Steal - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Tons of car for the money. Nimble, great feel for the road, corners nicely and has powerful acceleration. Extremely comfortable with some nice touches, such as hands free phone with bluetooth technology. Head-turning new body style makes it stand out among such others as Audi and BMW. Leather seats are most comfortable, and have two memory settings to match drivers 1 and 2. And last but not least, the sound system is without peer. The in- dash 6 CD player also handles audio dvds, which are much better sounding that simple CDs. You will not regret buying this one.

  • Just short of Awsome - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I took delivery of my new TL in September. After a short test drive I was sold. Excellent comfort, performance, and build quality. Would not recommend buying the tester in the future. Found scuff marks on the front bumper that the dealer could not buff out. They offered to paint it, havent returned for that yet. Only other complaint would be the low speed brake squeal when backing. Probably would buy again if given a second chance.

  • Fun car - 2004 Acura TL

    Just bought it, excellent car. Looks a lot like BMW 745i from the side. Feels completely in control.

  • Best 30 thousand dollar sudan-out-there - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I love the car had test-drove Lexus 300is, and infinity, but the TL with all the features and horsepower it was the winner.

  • Fun to Drive - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Comfort and fit and finish are exceptional. And,its fun to drive.

  • Awesome - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I looked at the 530, the G35 and the C230 Kompressor... the new TL beats them all hands down. So much more car for the money, there is simply no comparison.

  • Great Car but Fix the Tire Problem - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Loved the car the moment I saw it! Test drove many competitor cars and came back to the Acura despite the lack of all wheel drive. However, flat spot from tires is a problem that wont go away and Im on my 4th set. First five minutes of drive on highway with cold tires feels like they might fall off. Dealer provided me first replacement set. Others were principally due to use (short life span), but still have the same issue no matter what brand I get. Other issues: chrome near seat belts gets dinged, paint finish not great once you get some nicks on bumper, leather looks a bit worn, cant see KPH at night.
