  • A fun car with enough luxury to suit you - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    The is the most fun car I have owned since my 1980 RX7, but this car befits a middle-aged man with mostly grown kids who still wants to have fun. The navigation option is pricey but a real treat when needed. The DVDs arent updated often enough, however. My wife enjoys the comfort of the heated leather seats in the winter. Well, so do I. The sportshift is fun and engenders a feeling of control. I hate forced downshifting in certain acceleration situations, and the sportshift addresses that.

  • The Dream Car - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I have had 2 Acura TLs and they are really one of the best cars. I have had several other cars such as an Audi, BMW and Lexus and I would go for my Acura over my other cars any day. This car has never failed us and really has good pick up and go. It is fun to drive. While the outside look is not the prettiest you sure can make it by adding 2 things...ground effects and a spoiler. It will not make your car look bad. If you wanna see what it looks like with them or have any other questions about this fine call...e-mail me at BRozell822@aol.com Good Luck!

  • Love That Honda Feeling! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I purchased my Acura TL/S as a replacement for my Nissan Maxima. The Acura handles better and has more "umph" than the Nissan. I dont think I would have been as happy if I had purchased the base model 3.2 TL, however the "S" gives extra kick and also keeps the driver in a more drivable position to negotiate those things that are unexepected in Atlanta driving. I will keep this car for some time and would like to see what Acura comes dreams up in the next few years for those baby boomers who require 4 doors, but appreciate sports-car-like- handeling.

    for the price, you cant beat this car. Only a $100 increase over the 2002. The 2003 will sell fast at this price...

  • 2003 Type S TL - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I bought this car for an excellent price with about 60K miles on it from a local BMW dealership. I did the research before I bought the car and knew that I very well could be facing transmission problems but bought it anyway after I learned that I am covered by warranty till atleast 100k. The car is extremely sharp looking and beastly under the hood. When using steptronic the engine releases some mean horses. The stereo people have complained about but I must say, I think it takes some time to break the speakers in to sound great. Love the Xenons and the automatic tilting side view during reverse. The trans definitely seems to be showing some issues but not worried, the warrantee will cover

  • Great Car for Price - 2003 Acura TL

    Other than transmission recall, Ive had no problems with this vehicle. Not a big fan of having to use PREMIUM fuel. The exterior is sleek and stylish and interior is comfortable and beautiful. Dashboard seems to rattle which can be annoying. Overall love everything this car has to offer for the price.

  • Nice Car, about to be replaced - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Our TL we have had for a little over a year has been very satisfying and has provided us with great value and luxury for the money. But we had to have the rotors turned cause of warpage and the headliner fixed cause it would squeak on broken roads. But otherwise, this car is beautiful and I would love to own this car LONG TERM. Thank you Acura, the design is aging but will be replaced soon. Neo-Classic design that will never go out of style.
