    I have been trying really hard to find major faults with the car and the biggest one I can find is the fact that its front wheel drive (Im a fan of rear wheel drive myself). Other than that, this car has exceeded my expectations by a huge margin. Its smooth, comfortable, well made, reliable, luxurious, fun to drive and has a stereo that is just out of this world. I cannot recommend this car enough. My wife wants to trade her 2002 Volvo S60 T5 on a new TL for her now!

    Outstanding car. Best manual transmission Ive ever driven. Amazing standard features -- you have to hear this stereo in 6-track DVD audio. The real reason to buy this car is the way it drives -- feels solid on the highway, but really maneuverable on twisty roads, and it corners like its on rails. Cant tell you about reliability cause its brand new.

  • One of the best - 2004 Acura TL

    This car is even better than the older 3.2TL. For the money you cant beat it. It has everything the big car have.

  • 2004 Acura TL A-Spec - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    The addition of the A-Spec really tightens up this vehicle. Installing stiffer springs and struts lowers the auto approximately 1 inch, and thus the center of gravity is also redistrubuted (lower). This makes for outstanding cornering capability and a much more "solid" ride. There is not a significant difference in ride "feel" from the standard TL when traveling on straight and level surfaces, but the modified vehicle really shines in the corners and during acceleration. The fit and trim is outstanding and rear passengers report the ride and seating is ultra comfortable. Acura has a winner with this car!

  • Acura TL Rocks - 2004 Acura TL

    If you are considering an Audi A4, BMW 3 or 5 series or Infiniti G35, this car beats them all! The fit and finish are incredible for a car under $35K. The performance is head snapping with 270HP and smoooth 6 speed shifter. I got the automatic with tiptronic style electronic shifter. Nice exhaust note. Brakes are very smooth. shifter is awesome. This a real head turner! I believe its a category-killer. Run, dont walk to your Acura dealer.

  • Wonderful - 2004 Acura TL

    Have owned for a little over a week and I cant stop humming Springstein "...I went out for a ride and I never came back." The manual is a blast to drive. The interior is exceptionally comfortable --spacious (Im 62")with lots of creature comforts. The sound system is the best Ive heard. The 270 hp is great. All in all, I simply dont understand BMW; the equivalent 5 series is over 10K more. How much more athletic can it be with other motorists on the road?

  • Surprising value & fun - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Loaded with great features, its been just about everything Ive expected. 6M is sporty, (dont expect BMW responsiveness, but still surprisingly nimble yet very comfy --nice blend of sport and luxury. Quiet, authoritative. Xenon lamps, Bluetooth, excellent Navi, quite impressive audio (5.1 DVD audio surround, XM, & more) & voice recog. Great back seat, OK trunk. Wonderful power: punch it & 0-60 <6.0 secs, almost NO TORQUE steer (controlled by VSA computer. With snow tires, it climbs steep driveways in fresh snow! Climate control excellent and well- balanced. Memory system excellent - settings for seat, outer mirrors, temp & radio, etc.
