Overview & Reviews

The TL has been redesigned for 1999, with everything just getting better. The 2.5-liter engine is gone, making way for an all-new 3.2-liter V6. The transmission has been refined, the interior design makes better use of space, and the exterior is updated.

• Near-luxury pricing with full-luxury equipment.

• Styling may be too conservative, and where are the side airbags?

  For Keeps - 1999 Acura TL
  By Harvey - December 3 - 7:02 pm

  I bought this car (99 3.2 Acura TL with navigation) really out of luck. I was looking for reliable vehicle as I drive up and down the coast (400 miles) almost every month. My experience with this vehicle has always been a possitive one. Its easy to maintain. Since the time I bought this car, the only maintenance I had to do was the usual oil change, break/tire change and the required 100k timing belt.

  Quality vehicle - 1999 Acura TL
  By Acura Fan - December 1 - 5:04 pm

  Own two 99 TLs and enjoy them immensely. Powerful engine, great acceleration. One car has NAV and thats fun. The 99 model NAV unit uses a hard drive and you need 7 cards for the US or you can reprogram the hard drive if you have the CD and a laptop. In 2000, Acura went to a DVD format and its much better. Only gripe are the seats, good leather but very uncomfortable, too hard and not quite wide enough. Only mechanical problem is one car seems to keep warping the rotors and I think I will upgrade the rotors and pads next brake job. Requires premium fuel but get 23 city, 30 highway. Great entry level luxury car for the money

  Goodbye oldpaint - 1999 Acura TL
  By GR8CAR - November 14 - 5:41 pm

  Bought this car in 2004 with 42K, had 83K when some knucklehead ran a red light and I tagged him. Solid car, fun to drive, engineering, trim, I miss it. Id buy another in a heartbeat.

  Simply awesome 3.2TL - 1999 Acura TL
  By fabulous TL - October 10 - 10:54 pm

  After purchasing this high mile car we knew it was an overlooked and underated car. Highway travel is phenomenal great mileage about 27-28 mpg. Noise is minimal and very smooth. City driving yields less mpgs however still decent @ 21mpg. Great handling good passing power and engine is silent even when tested. That engine is bulletproof! The tranny shifted great even through 160k miles of usage, wow! Ergonomics top notch along with a plethora of standard equipment, it blows away the rest of the class. No problems with anything all electronics and mechanics still chugging along!

  Hard to look beyond Acura/Honda - 1999 Acura TL
  By Hondas 4 life - September 20 - 8:52 am

  This Acura is a benchmark for value & rigid construction. Excellent feel & bang for the buck. Offers many standard features that are often expensive options on other entry luxury sedans. Decent mileage & get go for its not too powerful 3.2 4 speed auto trans. Even though only 4 speed still a performer. Ride is compliant & quiet, not Lexus quiet but defintely more fun. Engine is top notch, idles silently after +150k miles! Longevity of electronics, mechanics, etc. are phenomenal! Only problem we had was a clogged EGR port that was easily taken care of @ the dealer. Love it so much we went out & got the beautiful 06 TL. Just watch out for the trans. problems from 2000-2003 thats all.

  Great Workhorse with Looks - 1999 Acura TL
  By Kentrosi - August 21 - 7:53 pm

  This is my 4th Acura. I am trading it in next week for an 03 TL-S. It has 152,000 of some very hard-driven mileage. I have done nothing but change the oil and replaced the timing belt at 100k. This car is extremely dependable and great looking. I drive 35-45k miles a year and do not have time to deal with the annoying prblems that plague so many other makes. I am sticking with Acura.

  Built with quality - 1999 Acura TL
  By Carputz - June 24 - 9:52 am

  Bought this car with only 30,500 miles on it and 7 years old. Cost less than a comparable milage Accord. What a value. Rides and handles like a dream, nice power. Never thought I would own a car like this. A luxury car with Honda depenability and serviceability. Check engine light came on after having it a month. Acura took care of it under a warranty memo they had for the problem. Expect to have this one for a long time. 7 year old car makes any newer car I have owned look bad.

  In love w/ my TL - 1999 Acura TL
  By Crane - May 16 - 7:48 pm

  Unquestionably the best car Ive ever owned (Ive had over 25 including company cars). I have over 180,000 miles with only expected maintenance. Still cruises effortlessly at 80 mph, is quiet and solid. Will probably spend more than I should to keep it since I love it so much (leather seats need repair, lots of dings and nicks from high-speed driving).

  1999 Acura 3.2TL - 1999 Acura TL
  By Augusta Richards - April 10 - 8:50 am

  I bought this car new. This car has been wonderfully reliable. I have never had it in service for a mechanical problem. As a female driver, this is very important to me. I use premium gas as recommended but with todays prices, I am going to try mid- grade again although I tried that once and noticed a negative difference. My mileage in the city is about 20 and on the highway 27-28. I feel very safe in this car and have learned to appreciate the styling although after having an Infiniti J30, I thought this car could use more pizazz in the exterior styling. What can I say - I love this car.

  By Sergey - March 19 - 11:34 pm

  This is great car! I bought it at 2 years old with 9000 miles for 23k, sold it at 7 years wit 115k for 6k. I put 106000 miles on it in 5 years. It still drives like new. All interior features are working great. The service during warranty was outstanding. This is great expirience and very low price
