Enjoyable car - 2001 Acura TL
By DoninOhio - February 9 - 2:00 amI have had the car for 2 years now and have had minimal issues with it. The most serious was a brake issue and it was corrected under warranty and with no hassle. The dealership is professional and when I make arrangements they always have a loaner for me. The car is still fun to drive. I drive my wifes Solara and now her Camry. While they are nice cars there is no comparison to the drive and ride on my Acura. I have been well satisfied with my purchase thus far

The Tranny Got Me - 2001 Acura TL
By ValueDriven - January 24 - 2:00 amThe performance and styling of my 2001 Acura TL are first rate. Fit and finish are good. Excellent reliability reports for the TL were an important factor in my purchase decision so imagine my surprise when my transmission started going out on me at 19000 miles. Apparently Acura is having a problem with this year and model and has extended the transmission warranty. They even tell you what to watch for. One other thing that has gotten on my nerves is the road noise. Racing-style tires and minimal noise insulation are probable reasons.

Poor quality control - 2001 Acura TL
By Jim Govoni - December 28 - 2:00 amTransmission stays out of gear after shifting from park 1-5 seconds. ABS & TCS Lights come on together and go off after restart. Many squeaks and rattles especially when cold. Paint quaily is very poor, finish disolves from bird droppings within 3 days. Windshield has what appears to be permanent smears. Seat belt retractor on drivers side is way too slow and can get caught in the door. Dealer charged over $300.00 for 30k service, including an unneeded Trans. fluid change.

GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY - 2001 Acura TL
By BRUCE JACOBSON - November 30 - 2:00 amI WAS LOOKING FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL LUXURY CAR AND THIS CAR FILLS THE BILL. IT IS EVERY BIT THE CAR THAT THE LEXUS ES350 IS AND $6000 LESS.THE AUTO SHIFT IS GREAT FUN AND THE GPS IS BOTH HELPFUL AND A NICE TOUCH FOR TRAVELING AND WORK. YOU NEVER GET LOST AND FUN AND EASY TO USE.

Transmission Problems - 2001 Acura TL
By PatT - September 12 - 2:00 amI loved my T.L. up until last month. The transmission would not shift into 4th or 5th gear. I took it to the dealer for transmission replacement. When I picked it up, three weeks later, there was still a problem with it. Mechanics cannot seem to find the problem. Still not shifting properly and making an odd noise. Also windshield and wipers not good. Very dissappointed since I felt Acura was a very reliable car. A

Transmission failure at 10000 miles - 2001 Acura TL
By edsak - June 7 - 2:00 amI have had car only five months with 10000 miles and was told today I need a "new" rebuilt transmission. The whole reason for buying Acura is reliability, not with mine... Anyone else out there having problems with their transmission? By the way the "rebuilt" is warranted for only 36000 miles if purcahsed. Not a happy camper...

Not a Legend - 2001 Acura TL
By fillabuck - May 18 - 2:00 amToo much wind noise, front seats could be firmer, I like my 91 Legend much better.

Uncomfortable seat design - 2001 Acura TL
By SusieQ - April 23 - 2:00 am2002 TL-S,10 months old, 22K miles. When driving or riding, I having pain in my hip that runs down my leg from a sciatic nerve problem that had occurred years before during the time I was driving a 1984 Honda Prelude. I can sit in other vehicles comfortably without pain. Seat bottom seems to have little padding and the lumbar support is weak. The headrest pushes my head forward uncomfortably. The overall seat design doesnt fit me. Passenger seat is worse because it cant be raised. Paint chips on the front end no clear coat? Carpet is thin and wearing. Great gas mileage, great power, beautiful car, but its gotta go.
