    By -

  • great car - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    best car I have ever driven, love everything about it but nerdy style, should have waited for the 2004 but price was right. Getting 30 miles per gallon locally.

  • Best Bang For Your Buck - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Just purchased a 2003 TL-S three days ago. Having a great time with it so far. Great handling, speed, ride, everything. Had a 94 Integra, so obviously a huge difference. Sport shift is fun, more to amuse myself than anything. But seriously, it is a lot of car for the price. Not too many gadgets to play with like others in its class, but that is a good thing.

    Had an Avalon and thought I was trading up. Its just not a comfortable car to be in for any length of time. Should have kept looking!

  • Buy Nothing Else - This Is The Best Car - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I had a 2000 Audi A4 that was a nightmare. I had my Acura for a year now, with no probelms. Great passing speed. Autostick is a fun toy, great for passing slow drivers. The leather interior is the best. I love this car. Way to go Acura. I cant wait until the 2004 Acura TL comes out. You can get any better that this. This car speaks: Value & Reliability. The two things that this car excels at.

  • Best Buy - 2003 Acura TL

    This is one of the best buys out there. You get a great looking/operating car for thousands less than its competitors.

  • Typcially Excellent if uninspiring - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Gas mileage is poor, averaging 15-16 MPG in city driving. Ergonomics are good unless you are over 62" when front seat headroom becomes prime real estate. Seats are firm but unsupportive - downright uncomfortable on long hauls and persistent squeaking in both front seats. Sound system is nice on paper (6 disc CD changer in dash a real plus) but 4 speakers with a so-called "sub-woofer" is PUNY. Cannot upgrade without changin whole system - speakers are 1 ohm and aftermarket speaks are not compatible. Marvelously capable, but the FUN FACTOR is missing completely.

  • Type-S for Speed! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Just purchased 03 Satin Silver Type- S. I love it! Almost purchased Maxima SE over TL-p, then drove the Type-S . . it was a no brainer! If $$$ is an issue, dont even think about a Lexus, Infiniti, Volvo, Audi, or BMW (theyll all be at least $3000 to $10000 more for the same options).

  • wow- what a blast to drive - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    an incredible value for the cash- compare to I35, and bmw 300 series- all the best options- no nonsense package visit the deaqler without all that nickel and dime- ing about power or sun roof. as a past owner of dodge,saturn, nissans, and sadly one ford. this was by far the most professional sales approach and delivery was on time with no "last minute" problems. i highly recommnd a visit and a test drive.

  • Best for the bucks - 2003 Acura TL
