  • A foregone conclusion - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    Moved into this car from a Toyota Solara SLE V6. Head and shoulders better for about $4K more. What a deal! Also tested the 330i and the A4 3.0, but for the price the Acura is untouchable!

  • Lots of car for the money! - 2003 Acura TL

    Great Car! I was looking at Maxima SE, and Passat V6. This car is fast and sporty, with a heavier feel to it than the Maxima. The Maxima lacked the heavier European driving feel, while the Passat lacked the horsepower.

    If you even consider purchasing a Lexus, Merc, BMW, or Audi (of comparable class) you should get medical help! THis car has everything you could want - horsepower, style, reliability, EVERY option at the absolute best price! Too much fun to drive .

  • Why buy a high endAccord,Avalon,orLexus - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    TL is a cream puff- Keyes Van Nuys- great price and no stress).-Internet shopped. Wife "wanted"Avalon but now only wants to drive the TL. Regrets-look more closely at the TL S. What discouraged me were the larger turning radius (40 vs 37 ft) and the 17" tires (less treadlife and possibly not as comfortable).

  • Love this car! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This car is beautiful, extremely comfortable, and fast. I was doing 65 on the tollway - needed to pass a truck that was throwing gravel - put my foot to the floor and was doing 95 in 3 seconds. Great car! - and this was NOT the Type S, but the standard 3.2 TL. I have found no flaws.

  • Excellent Car - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    My wife and I traded in our Maxima for the Acura TL-type S. What an awesome car! This was definately a step up. The TL-S is loaded with features and has more power than you will ever need.

  • more car for the money!!! - 2003 Acura TL

    This car is fun to drive and is comfortable. THe engine is very quiet. Sometimes i forget that its on when im heating the car up. I once was about to turn the car on again because it didnt feel like it was on. Good quality car. i love it..

  • A little disappointing - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    I was very excited to purchase my first "luxury" vehicle. I did a lot of research and knew this was the car for me. Im surprised that I already have rattles with only 1500 miles. My chevy didnt get rattles until after 30,000. Maybe I got a lemon. Overall I am pleased with the vehicle however Im not sure it will last as long as I had hoped!

  • Almost Great - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    TL Type S is a great car that is very fun to drive. 260 Horsepower is just enough to teach those younger kids a lesson every now and then. The car accelerates well and handles corners with ease.

  • Great car! - 2003 Acura TL
    By -

    This car drives like an Audi 03 (a6 quatro) and costs 13K less. Very smooth and quite. Interior is NOT top notch as the eather looks cheap. Seats are very comforable. However, the styling is way too conservative. To sum up, for the money you get 110% back, but this is NO luxury car like an Audi or Benz. Yet, its a great sedan with just enough power to beat many other luxury cars.
