Overview & Reviews

The TL has been redesigned for 1999, with everything just getting better. The 2.5-liter engine is gone, making way for an all-new 3.2-liter V6. The transmission has been refined, the interior design makes better use of space, and the exterior is updated.

• Near-luxury pricing with full-luxury equipment.

• Styling may be too conservative, and where are the side airbags?

  1999 Acura TL - 1999 Acura TL
  By captain - January 8 - 11:39 pm

  Maintenance and repair expence during 7 years and 143000 miles has been very low. A new transmision at 93,000 mi. was replaced by Acura at no cost. They even provided a new TL to drive while mine was in the shop. My total expense for maintenance(incl oil changes), tires, batteries and repairs is less than $1600, including a new starter at 142000 mi. It still runs and handles like new. (I dont follow scheduled maintenance). Never tuned up, but do change oil and filter every 7500 mi. I still have the original plugs. Gets 26- 31 mi/ga I use only regular. I think it runs better on regular. Ive recently towed this car with 4 wheels on ground behind my motorhome over 6000 mi without any problems.

  Great car, great value, fun to mod - 1999 Acura TL
  By Shaun - November 25 - 12:45 pm

  I have had my DEG (dark emerald green) TL for 2 and a half years and have had no problem with it at all. 117k and still on original tranny and runs better than new. I have upgrades many engine components to pull some great performance (faster than a Type S) out of this car w/o effecting its reliability and actually increasing overall gas mileage from 25 to 28 now. Interior is great, make sure you strip the paint off your shiftknob, it is chrome underneath you know (99 TL only). Exterior is very sexy and elegant, I think it stands out when detailed properly. Stock stereo isnt the greatest, I dont like Bose at all. Low maintenance vehicle and easy to work on yourself. Rotors lasted 100k+.

  Just Keeps Going - 1999 Acura TL
  By lsmac - October 25 - 2:02 pm

  Bought this car new. It now has 197,000 miles. 28mpg all the time. Have stuck to the manual for maintenance. Some dash lights dont work and door lock relay needs replacing. Only non-maintenance item was to clean the EGR valve at 80k. I do this myself now. Takes two hours. Engine has never been opened. Ditch the Michelin Tires. Get Toyo Proxes TPT for less than $500 and last 50k.

  Worth the resale value - 1999 Acura TL
  By jgenitile - April 20 - 6:18 pm

  We bought our TL through eBay and have not had one problem with it. That is once we put cross drilled disc breaks on it. I am looking forward to purchasing another.

  Never Got Lost Drove Like a Dream - 1999 Acura TL
  By JJC - February 15 - 5:29 pm

  Best car for the money, bar none. GPS navigation system works like a charm .... you cant get lost. Speed shift gives the control and acceleration of manual shifting, without a clutch. 225 hp engine packs enough punch, and still gets 25-27 mpg highway, and 20+ mpg city. Leather heated power seats are cozy. Only drawback is its modest exterior .... but even that is a blessing in disguise, as I never really worry about it getting stolen or vandalized.

  By neal - April 22 - 2:00 am

  I got my TL in July 1999. It has 103,000 miles and still drives like a dream. Im thinking about getting a new car but finding it hard to part with my TL. The Bose stereo is amazing! The VTEC engine and TLs performance is amazing! The TL is unbelievably reliable, fast and sharp looking. My only complaint is the wind noise that occurs near the drivers window.
