This Year's Model Updates:

The TL has been completely redesigned for 2004. A 270-horsepower V6 is standard, and both a six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic transmission are available. The level of luxury inside the cabin is up, and driving dynamics are better than ever.

Pros:
  • Luxurious interior, long list of standard equipment, powerful V6 engine, slick-shifting six-speed manual, pleasant blend of ride comfort and fun.

    Though I have not had the car long, I shopped several other cars in the same price range and I feel that the 2004 Acura TL was a superior when considering everything; price, styling, performance, reliability... the interior fit, finish, styling and ergonomics is well above the competition... a fine automobile! They really thought this one out!

  • Best car Ive owned - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    My last two vehicles were a Lexus GS300 and a BMW 540ia, $10K-$20K more expensive than this car. The TL delivers a more satisfying overall experience. I have the 5AT and torque steer is non-existant. I have to admit to being baffled by a few complaints about torque steer on the automatic (its hardly noticeable, Car & Driver agreed it was a manual trans/lmtd slip issue) and the leather wearing poorly. My car is a month old and the leather looks brand new, front and rear.

  • Perfection pursued but not obtained - 2004 Acura TL

    When I first test drove this car I was flat out amazed. It was without a doubt the most impressive vehicle I have ever driven. The first impression is pure awe.It became my dream car. Opportunity knocked and 5 monthes later I had one, and at a good price. Unfortunately, it had the first year bugs, the Bridgestone ELPs are garbage, falt spots and vibrations abound, the interior trim rattles in two locations. Otherwise it is perfect. The DVD audio is the best car stereo on the planet. The power is seamless, the gas mileage very good. The ergonomics perfect. The rattles and tires have overshadowed what is truly a remarkable auto. Wait until the third year then buy one.

    I have purchased two of these vehicles. The first one was totalled in a head on collision. The safety features of this vehicle that are utilized in this type of crash are the very best. I walked away, unscratched, from a destroyed vehicle. At my age, I dont bounce like I used to. My biggest problem with the exact replacement vehicle is that Acura cant seem to get a serious tire problem solved. My dealer is however still trying to find the problem. Overall, a great car.

    My 99 TL was a reliable, comfortable, quiet car with great legs for traveling. I ordered the 04 after two short test drives, as that was all it took to convince me the ride quality, comfort and quiet was still there. Somehow they managed to tighten up the handling at the same time. The interior layout and quality of materials is several steps above the 99TL and places the G35 a distant second in this class.

  • Excellent ride, excellent value - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Acura continues to make fun, performance-based cars at great value. All of the amazing features are standard (the only options are the navi system and summer tires) including DVD- Audio, surround sound, XM Radio, Bluetooth, etc. No detail is overlooked making the car a true joy. The ride is phenomenal--it is a smooth, fast car. All in all, dollar for dollar a truly amazing vehicle. I highly recommend it.

  • This Car is Awesome - 2004 Acura TL

    Before purchasing my new Acura TL i drove the audi A4 and the Infiniti G35. Both the Audi and Infinity were great cars, but if you want the most for your money the TL is the way to go. The TL performs as well if not better than both the Audi and the Infiniti, and there are few things that you can upgrade because everything comes stock on the TL. If you purchase a new TL, I promise you wont regret it!

    Excellent automobile... does everything well. Lots of equipment and features for the price. 6 speed is great. Yes there is some torque steer when driven very hard, but mostly it is not noticeable and does not interfere with everyday enjoyment. Zero warranty items in 7500 miles.
