    I have german cars-Two (BMW 330 and Audi TT). Alot of german car lovers have an emtional attachment to their cars but if you take the emotion out of it you will soon realize that you are driving one the best cars for the money and that includes performance, style, luxury and driving excitment.

    Once again, the Acura TL packs the largest bang for the buck. 270hp with a refined body style has really pushed this vehicle to the top of the entry level luxury sports sedan category. It is fun to drive!

    Overall design of the car is excellent. I like the car a lot. Great exterior design and excellent layout of interior. Lots and lots of power but torgue steer is a little to much. The car feels a little unstable when pushed into into curves. I experienced a mild swaying motion in steep curves. I did not like where the change holder is located. It is very hard to get to from the drivers seat, even when the vehicle is stopped. Great job Honda.

  • If rear-drive handling isnt the end-all - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    If rear-drive handling isnt your number one priority, but excellent front-drive handling, silky-smooth power, gobs of gadgets, and the best reliability are, this is your car. The engine and tranny are the epitome of refinement. The interiors comfort is almost complete (see below). I prefer listening to the TLs audio system, as its better than my $$$ home theaters.

  • Poor Quality - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had a terrible experience with this car and quality of build. The car has paint shrinkage in the base coat causing sand marks to appear in the finish. The car bumper cover is also peeling on the sides were mounted to the fender because of excess stress. In addition, the car has many rattles and idles rough. This car cannot compare to a 3 series BMW or Lexus ES330. Dont make the mistake and purchase this bug infested car. Their reps even admit to the rattles and the dealer admitted the paint peeling issue on the bumper covers. What a car!!!!!

  • Makes you want to drive - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I fell in love with this car when I saw it. It has great European looks. Then I got behind the wheel and found myself at home. It fits! The wheel adjusts telescopically as well as up and down, the seats electronically move in almost any direction. With these features you can get a perfect fit. The dash has the best looking instrument panel I have seen in a car it has a 3D feel to it. The acceleration is that of some of the true sports cars I have driven, it will put you back in the seat. The brakes bring you to a stop in a comfortable distance. I look forward to getting behind the wheel whether going down the street or out of town. I love it!

  • No Worries, Superb Performance - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I was a diehard "big 3" car buyer, until I looked at the TL. It had everything I wanted in the German Imports, but had a better pricepoint and more gadgets. Gas mileage, performance, speed, and interior ride all have beaten out the BMW that I was going to buy. Good Job Acura!

  • 2 Good 2 B True? - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    This is the first car that, after 3 days of detailing and inspecting, I could find NO flaws. The build quality is top rate. The styling speaks for itself. I have a feeling of pride and exclusivity every time I drive it. I recently completed an 800 mile road trip and found it very comfortable, with an efficient and silent climate control system. I averaged 29 mpg. The navigation system and voice command is amazingly accurate and easy to use. You can ride all day without aches, pains, or wanting to get there in a hurry. The power and speed is beyond most peoples wildest needs. The 6-channel 5.1 surround sound DVD is the best car audio I have ever heard. 95% of BMW at 50% of cost.

  • Most fun to drive since - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I was a young Marine with a Triumph TR6 35 years ago. I love the ride, handling, power, sound system, satellite radio and hands-free phone system. For the first time in many years, I look for opportunities to get in my car and drive somewhere, anywhere. I have people coming up to me time after time just to say, "Nice car!".
