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.

  • Forget BMW, Jag, and Merc TL is RE-AL! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I have driven in every luxury car out there. You havent driven till you drive this car. Interior is uncluttered, yet SUPER LUXURIOUS. My friends (who HAVE BMWs, Jags) are jealous, between the voice commanded "passenger temp" to the DVD- Audio, to the aluminum and wood paneling. This car has it all. We also have a MDX that my wife loves, and now were both driving Black Acuras. This car has the drive punch of a Porsche motor. My brother has a porsche so Im speaking from experience in driving one. Im talking real exotic torque to the pedal. And welcome the first tiptronic that really responds IMMEDIATELY. this is the techies dreamcar.

  • Great Bargain - Almost there w/features - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL is almost there with its euro car competitors. It has most of the features, but a few obvious oversights (automatic lites & wipers. Acceleration good, buit braking could be better and turning radius was much better on my Merceds M-Class (reads 3- pt turns are now 5-pt turns). Passengers and drivers are comfortable and easy enterance and egress. More space in back than 5-series. Over all a good value for the price, only a few features missing and braking could be better (hard braking is very tough). For the price and class, way ahead of other Japanesse in style, comfort, performance and FUN.

  • Fantastic car, just wish it was RWD - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I have had this car for about ten months now and really have enjoyed it quite a bit. I used to have an old (1986) Porsche 911, and while this car is competely different in almost every way, its a lot of fun to drive and anyhing but utilitarian. I have only had to bring the car in for scheduled maintenance so far and I have nearly 14K miles on the car. Total maintenance bill so far...~$130. Not bad considering that was less than a months maintenance on the Porsche. Overall this is an excellent car and an excellent value. BMW and Audi simply cannot compete with the value this car offers. They may be slightly nicer cars...but not $8K-$10K nicer.

  • The new TL Rocks!!! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Had my baby for over 3 months now - purchased 2 days before official sell date. I considered 03 model, but heard of redesign and waited. Worth the wait! New TL is a totally different car than the 03 - for the better. Power is amazing. All the luxury refinements you could want are here. Handling is great, but could be better with some new tires. Exterior styling is near-perfect, sleek & aggressive. I dont know why people complain that its still FWD. You cannot tell a difference, unless you drive the streets like a race track everyday. Any way you look at it, this car is hands down the best bang-for-the-buck in the luxury sports sedan class.

  • A Fine Purchase - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I am extremely pleased with my 2004 Acura TL which is redondo red with a parchment interior. Performance is excellent and the car is more comfortable than I expected. And, everything works!

  • PLEASANTLY SURPRISED - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    My wife and I have owned two Porsches and two BMWs--marvelous cars. We were, therefore, surprised by the Acura TL we drove while one of our cars was being serviced. A week later we bought a TL.

  • March 2004 TL Evaluation - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Test drove 2004 Acura TL, 5 cars, and Infiniti G-35 4 door, 2 cars. Decided on 2004 TL for nunerous reasons. Front wheel drive; Intriguing outside styling; 270 HP; and extra accessories provided by Dealer (also see below). Best color selection and best value for sports sedans in $29,500 to $37,500 range. See 2005 Acura RL for $40,000 to $45,000 range.

  • Hmmmm... - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Just traded in my 2000 TL, which was a pleasure to drive & fool others with its power on the highway, breathlessly smooth ride, etc., etc. Drove my 2004 Manual off the lot & onto the highway, and was a little disappointed. Accelaration? You bet. Smooth ride? No. Immediately, I thought, tires. Like another reviewer, I miss my Michelins. Theres a slight shake in the steering & I can feel a consistent vibration in the drivers seat. Im calling the dealer today.
