    This car has been a huge disappointment. At 1,000 miles my dealer replaced the radiator and at 35,000 miles the entire oil pump and seal assembly was replaced. I dont know if my dealer is trying to rip off Acura or if the vehicles reliability is really that bad.

    my 3.2TL is 2 yrs, 9 mo. old with 63,000 miles - out of warranty... my transmission was fried... acura chaged me $800 and supplied a tranny free... have heard it said that acuras are having tranny problems - I know mine did... also, have a piece of paint flake off the front of the roof... finally, while under warranty I complained about the CD player not playing CDs I burned at home they said it must be the PCs fault... after the warraty ran out, it stopped playing at all - I had to get it repaired on my own - they said the laser was malfunctioning...

  • Want my ES Back - 2000 Acura TL

    After two years with a Lexus ES 300 I decided to see what else is out there in the entry-level luxury market. Kind of like dating a girl, shes fine and all but you just never know if something better is waiting for you. Anyway, the car is fun to drive and is very sporty, but overall quality is unquestionably the ES 300. Sure, the Acura is faster (by a second in 0-60 times), but the car that still has my heart is my old ES 300. Guess I shouldnt have left the old girl.

    In shop for 2nd transmision replacement. 1st one died @30,000 miles, second one dead @ 63,000. Rest of car is great. Poor tranny design which is obviously flawed. Heard this from many other owners of same model.

    I like this car. It is fun to drive, good acceleration and handling, and gets decent mileage,. I came out of a 1997 Infiniti I30, which is in the same class. For a while, I thought the I30 was the superior car, but after owning both for roughly 3 years, I would get the Acura again before the Infiniti. Decent leg room, I am 64", and it is more comfortable for me than many SUVs.

    NOTHING BUT LUXURY AMENITIES IN THIS CAR.

  • Still a great car at 70,000 miles - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is the best new car Ive ever owned! Its been driven nearly 70,000 miles (mostly highway and at high speeds) and asks for nothing but an oil change at 3,000 and a tank of gas. It looks great with the rear spoiler (which I feel was a bit pricey but it makes the car). The paint is still beautiful (white diamond pearl), the interior still great. Great fun, value and reliability. Only cars Ive driven which was more fun were BMW 540i and M5 - but youre in another class now!

  • If you leave in NY DO NOT GET THIS ONE - 2000 Acura TL

    I can tell you one thing that its a very nice car for the $$$, but if you plan to park it overnight in New York, good luck. I had this car for 2 years and I had my head lights stolen 2 times and finally they took it all. I have seen toooooooo many of those TLs around town with no "eyes". Think where you will park it before you buy it.

  • Great, American made car - 2000 Acura TL

    This has been an outstanding vehicle. So much so, that I am now searching for a 2nd Acura for our household.
