Overview & Reviews

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.

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

  Much Better than the G35 - 2004 Acura TL
  By JBHunter - March 14 - 10:00 am

  I really enjoy the actual AL trim inside the vehicle. The manual trans. is one of the best I have ever driven. The Brembo brakes provide great performance but I have experianced some brake "glazing" causing brake squeaking... You usually find this with high performance brake pads... The seats and cabin is neatly appointed with a fit in finish that is beyond what I expected...

  Better than expected - 2004 Acura TL
  By dc - March 9 - 10:00 am

  I was led to believe the new TL was merely an upscale Accord EX-L. Couldnt have been more wrong. Fun to drive and absolutely loaded with tech toys, Acura has really set themselves apart from the competition in a very affordably priced mid size sedan. I compared, and seriously considered the GS300, 530i, and G35. The TL had more interior room than most, while truly exhibting a great sporty look. Ive put to use almost all of the tech gadgets. Integrated bluetooth works great - the DVD Audio is out of this world (although finding them is tough), and its one of the best GPS and map data systems Ive used. Performance is great - ride is smooth.

  Great Car without the Rattles - 2004 Acura TL
  By MBL - March 9 - 10:00 am

  For Acuras claim to and reputation of quality, I would expect a better build. Windows rattle; center speaker buzzes at speeds in excess of 50mph; sunroof rattles intermittently. And, I thought that rattles were only unique to the driver...but the complaints are legit. All this at 8,000 miles (the rattles began at 3,000). Take away the rattles-- this is a fantastic car! My gas mileage (combo city/highway) is consistently 27- 28 mph. Couldnt find a better value for the money--I love this car.

  Acura TL - 2004 Acura TL
  By Gene Robustelli - March 9 - 10:00 am

  Best car Ive ever owned. Im 51 years old and I have finally had the opportunity for that special car. Im glad I picked the TL. Not only is it great looking, it is a blast to drive and makes heads turn.

  Nice Car - 2004 Acura TL
  By J.B.D. - March 3 - 10:00 am

  Only two problem areas. Drivers seat uncomfortable. Took over a year to breakin. The second problem was transmission failure at 30K. Acura dealer in Marin Co. repaired with no charge. Very pleased with brakes and suspension. Fule consumption from SF to Grand Canyon and back. .30 to 33 MPG at 70 mph plus and air condioning working at temps to 106F I would buy another one and recommend the dealer in Corta Madera Ca. (First time Ive ever recommended a dealer.

  TL for TLisious - 2004 Acura TL
  By TLicious - February 5 - 2:00 am

  This car is one of the most techno advanced cars on the market. Even after 2 months I am amazed every time I get in the car. Acura did it right with the interior and exterior design. The performance and handling is incredible. Driving this car in the snow is a breeze with traction control, electronic vehicle stability, throttle by wire, and antilock brakes. The engine begs you to drive it FAST. Interior and exterior quality is second to no others I have not found one workmanship flaw yet-inside or out. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy.

  TL trumps 330i and C240 - 2004 Acura TL
  By msmsse - January 24 - 10:00 am

  This car is beyond the Merceded C class and BMW 3 series in every category known. While the handling is not as sporty as the BMW, the luxury is second to none. If youre looking for bells and whitles combined with sporty style, this is the car for you. It was for me!

  A good car, but it has issues - 2004 Acura TL
  By rdz - January 24 - 10:00 am

  For those who compare this to a BMW or Mercedes, forget it! Its still not in the same league, nowhere near it. This is the third Acura Ive had, and will be the last. Its really more Accord than ever has been, and as long as theyre front wheel drive, itll never ride and handle as well as a German car, re: Infiniti G35. Its got some real issues, such as the vibration around 1500 rpm between 50 and 60 MPH in 5th gear, the entire car shakes. AT hunts back and forth a lot between 4th and 5th, and is hesitant to downshift. HP is great, but with front wheel drive comes torque steer. Tires are pure trash, completely useless in rain and tbd in snow.

  Classy - 2004 Acura TL
  By Sundance - January 20 - 10:00 am

  The ride is very harsh, brought about by racy tires etal, much harder than an Accord. These tires result in a wider turning radius over the Accord which makes it hard to manuver in tight spaces. The windows on both front sides rattle which would never happen on an Accord. While we like the TL, Honda needs to turn up the quality button. We also have an Accord V6.
