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.
Cons:

    Overall very happy witht he car. Love getting in it every morning. True pleasure

  • New owner... - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Recently traded in a 2004 Maxima for the TL. The TL is a much better car for my age (26) but is definitely not as comfortable as the Maxima. Seats are cheaply made with sub-quality leather. Paint leaves a lot to be desired. No automatic headlights either. However, those are my only complaints. Everything else is amazing. It is a very fun car to drive and handles well for a front wheel drive vehicle. There is an issue with "torque steer" when starting from a stop making a turn (a right turn at a light, for instance). If you get too heavy on the accelerator you will lose traction. All in all a great car. A little overpriced, but a good value in terms of longevity.

    So far, its a great car and fun to drive. I had an 01 BMW 530i and the Acura TL is every bit as nice, fun to drive and $20,000 cheaper.

  • Love it!! - 2004 Acura TL

    Great car... What a home run! Awesome gas mileage.. getting 32 mpg hwy/23 city after 2500 miles. This is unreal mpg considering the power of this car! Love the look, inside and out. Quiet, high end feel. I researched cars for an entire year...this is a great value. Better buy one before Acura raises the price..they could easily get 2k more. I had to wait to get mine...folks are seeing the value.

    The new Acura TL really out did itself this time, beating all other componenets in its class. Its new vsleek body and refined 3.2 liter v6 engine gives it a smooth ride

  • Gorgeous inside and out, kills the G35 - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    After test driving the G (coupe) and the TL, the only question in my mind was which color of the TL to get. Although the handling of the G was superb, the interior felt very cheap. The raised center panel made me feel very crammed in. The TLs design is incredible inside and out, and the value that you get in the TL is unmatched. The TL is very roomy and extremely comfortable for everyone (especially the driver). In terms of features, I loved the sound system with DVD Audio and Satelite Radio, Bluetooth, and dual climate control, all of which are standard. Oh yeah, I got it in black with a gray interior!

  • Could it be - 2004 Acura TL

    I was expecting an excellent car from Acura. I spent first day detailing for 10 hours. I have yet to find a flaw or defect in anything, anywhere. It is a dream to drive, loaded with high- tech goodies. The 6 channel surround sound is superb. It is a true luxury/sport sedan with gobs of power and nimble handling. Forget what you thought you knew about FWD.

  • My 3rd Acura - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Well, I should have known after two prior so-so experiences with new Acuras. The car is less than exciting to drive, quickly develops multiple rattles and vibrations and has inferior service to my experience with Lexus and Mercedes. In fact, the car is very inferior in all aspects (except with its looks) with any Lexus Ive owned. This will probably be my last Acura with my repetitive disappointing experience.

  • So much fun to drive! - 2004 Acura TL

    I test drove everything in this class before buying the TL. After a 3rd test drive, I bought it and never regretted it. It is so much fun to drive and met all my needs for a luxury performance sedan.

  • A great car for the money - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    We have two of these. The first was automatic. The second is a six-speed. The six-speed is performance oriented, and a bit choppy, but fun. The automatic is fantastic. The auto is not as fast, but is much more user friendly. The car has hd and xm stereo with the best sound system in a car. Mileage could be better, but it is a very quick agile car, and hence some sacrifice on mileage. This is a high performance Accord, make no mistake. But, unlike the Accord, its not boring, its fun all the time, and could out-run most cars if you get the jump on them. Easy to get on the freeway and excellent Brembo brakes. However, dealer insisted on new frt brakes at 15k miles for $300+ rip-off.
