    The Acura is the best bang for the buck. I traded my BMW 330 for my Acura and I am so happy with this car. The type S model is faster and attracts more attention than any other car in its class. The car only has a navigation option. WOW what a car

    Since I purchased this car, the only problem I had with it was the CD player, CDs were getting stuck and at times will not eject. But the dealer replaced it. This car is fun to drive, and it will outrun a lot of mid-sized sedans, including BMWs.

    I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO SPRUNG AN EXTRA 8-9 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A BMW 3- SERIES. I HAD MY EYE ON A 330I MYSELF UNTIL I HAPPENED TO TEST-DRIVE THE TL- S. I KNEW I LIKED THE TLS STYLE BUT WAS SURE THERE WAS NO WAY THIS ACURA/HONDA COULD STAND UP AGAINST "THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE" ON THE ROAD. BOY WAS I WRONG! AS SOON AS I ENGAGED THE SEMI-MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DOWN- SHIFTED, LEANED INTO A CORNER, HIT THE APEX AND STOMPED ON THE 260HP 3.2L V- TECH I WAS SOLD! ON PAPER THE 3-SERIES OUTPERFORMED THE TL-S ONLY BY MARGINS OF LESS THAN A TENTH OF A SECOND ACROSS THE BOARD. AS FAR AS LUXURY GOES, AGAIN THE TL-S HAD EVERY AMMENITY BMW HAD.

    I love this car. I wa driving old beat up dodge. My parents had 1998v6 accord, friend had 2001civicEx. Both were great cars but I wanted more. It rockets (and Im still in the break-in period)550miles. So smooth, transmission is like butter. Ride is so comfy, climate control and radio controls are fantastic. Great amount of room.

    I had a 1992 Acura Legend (4 door 5 speed) with 193K miles. I was still very happy with the car when I was rear- ended totaling the car. I went back to Acura and purchased the 4 door TL-S. I have had the car for just under a year and drive about 24K miles a year. I have been very happy with the car and it performance (+60 HP over the Legend and about 15% better fuel economy lower maintenance costs). I see no reason why the TLS will not have the same type of life expectancy I had with the Legend.

  • Outstanding Dollar Value - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I stepped down from a 2001 Q45 to the 2003 TL, because I thought the Q was too cumbersome and conservative. While the TL cannot match the comfort level and stereo system of the Q it is almost everything I had hoped for. I think the TL is an outstanding value for its price. I paid $26,450 for mine, and I think its worth every penny!

  • Wow - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This car has almost everything, Safety, Quality (Anti-lock brakes, "crumple" zones, Vehicle Stability Assist, Traction Control, Side Air bags etc), Price (only $32K), Performance (VTEC 260 romping, stomping horsepower 0-60 in 6.6 seconds), and just plain fun. The Navigation System is the best at "any" price.
