  • Better buy than a BMW - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This Acura TL has the horsepower and acceleration of the BMW 530. I am always the first away from the traffic lights. The best part is that it costs $20,000 less than the BMW 530 and the normal service is so much less than what BMW charges. No more BMWs for me!

    This car is my first import and I love it. Acceleration is great...only v- 8s can beat you. The ride is awesome.

    Have owned the car for only 2 weeks but I love the car. Researched the heck out of cars in this segment and kept coming back to the TL. Looked at the Infiniti G35 (close but Rear Wheel Drive with snow is no good), Lexus ES 300 (great ride but not close in the performance), and 2004 Maxima SE (No deals and boy racer styling). The performance of the TL Type S is unbelievable. Cant beat the price. Great dealership (David Acura in Langhorne, PA). Honda reliability. Cant say enough about the car.

    We test drove the VW Passat and the Nissan Max. For the $$$ its no comparsion! What a car, the power,design and comfort makes this car a winner. Afforable with lots of fun stuff to play without compromising quality. If your thinking of purchasing one of theses babies, your search is over!

  • Great Car! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Just got it and I am overall very happy with it. The Nav system is a little lacking. ItÂ’s great if you are in a Major metro area, but if you are traveling and want to find a place to eat in a small town, forget it!! It also needs to be smarter about finding alternate routes to the same place. CD player jammed, and Acura is going to replace it this weekend. Other than that, this is a great car. If you are looking for a car that all the bells and whistles, and really performs, this is the car for you. Handles like a dream on the curves, runs like a cheetah with its butt on fire in the straights.

    Very reliable. Plenty of power. Handles well - great suspension. Stylish with a nice mix of class and sport.

  • something to think about - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is a kick ass ride! Fun, Powerful, and sleek. The only down side is the this sucker is a gas guzzler. But if you like to go to B from point A in the shortest amount of time then definately get this car!

  • Simply amazed! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I purchased my Acura TL-S only 2 weeks ago and I had signed the paper work even before I test drove this fantastic machine! For value, it cannot be beaten. Its a great looking vehicle with every conceivable extra you would want, from the power outlet to hook up your cell phone to the drivers auto up and down window. Power. It simply revels in it! I clocked 0-60 in about 6.3 seconds and it will pass the average car on the street with ease. The leather interior is nicely appointed as is the general instrument layout. The white facia with the black background is particularly smart. For all round value , this car is a winner.

  • Close to perfect - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    We just bought the TL-S. This is our first non-family car since we had the kids. Back in the 80s we had an RX-7 and this car brings back all the fun of driving that one without any of the drawbacks. The car accelerates and handles like a charm, corners very flat, a real joy to drive. The car is comfortable and surprisingly roomy. A few VERY minor improvements would have rated a 10

  • fantastic - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Excellent car for the money. One really good thing about this car is that you only need to have the oil changed once every 7,000 miles! Gone are the "every 3,000" mile lube jobs! The car is fun to drive and very confortable, I should know I drove it from Chicago-Seattle-San Diego!
