  • Slightly better than Passat - great car - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    WE checked out the Passat GLX V6 automatic Tiptronic w/ 4 Motion and compared it to the TL (The TL-S) was not as smooth of a ride) - and both were pretty much equal. Each had its good parts and whichever would offer the better price or looks should be the one that you should pick. The Passat actually does have MORE features if you believe that. But it came down to black on black TL and that made the difference.

  • 4dr zoom with class - 2003 Acura TL

    Great automobile for the 4dr boy racer. All around very good car with few flaws and excellent value. I just wish the Japanese would provide a 8 way power seat for the passenger considering the class of car. This car is very easy on fuel for such a powerful engine.

  • whata car - 2003 Acura TL

    The only thing keeping this car from going head to head with BMWs 330 is a six speed manual. This is a great car with clean lines and superb build quality. Im hooked, just give me the 6 speed next time.

  • acura 3.2 tl type-s - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This automobile is alot of bang for the buck. I considered the BMW 330i, but theyre a little pricey. The Acura 3.2tl type-s has everything to offer at a very reasonable price. I recommend this car for the family that appreciates perfomrance and comfort all rolled into one vehicle.

    very strong engine, power everything for a reasonable price, cant beat it. very comfy and the car looks great too, I think it looks even better then the new 04 TL. Love all the standard features come with the car.

  • Acura Confidence - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    My husband and I bought this car just 5 months ago. We previously had an Integra which I bought just out of college. My husband has a nasty commute and the Integra was "just too small" for him. Hes 63" about 240lbs. I finally conceded to the new car and we traded the Integra for the TL. He loves it and I enjoy driving it when hes not around. Our Integra was just about 5 years old and had almost 100,000 miles on it. We never had any work done outside of the scheduled maintenence. So far the TL is living up to the reliability standards of the Integra and my husband really appreciates the headroom.

  • I love my car - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I love my car. I tell my husband all the time. I drive 36,000 miles a year. I have no desire to drive anything else. We have a house divided. Im KU, hes MU. I drive my TL, he drives his I-30. And life goes on.

  • TYPE _S Rocks! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I just purchased a Brand new TL Type S and It rocks. Very satisfied by the performance however, I am a greedy Sob so I plan on modifing it with the complete Comptech upgrade including the new Supercharger.

  • THE CAR - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL is a car with may solid features. It handles extremely well, is built very solidly, and is ultra- reliable.

  • Acura - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    nice car for tall people, I could not fit in the Lexus IS, C230, and a few other cars I tested. Im 64 with long legs, and this is the car I needed. The transmission is always a little busy for some reason, and the rubber around my sunroof rotted off and they wouldnt replace it. Gas mileage is less than desireable, but I didnt buy the car for economical reasons. The extra 600 I paid for the wood wheel was worth it, so was the exterior body kit. All in all, if the car wasnt as quick as it is, it would be a total loss.
