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.

  • The Car Is Awesome - 2004 Acura TL

    This car is a must have... The car is so fun to drive... I would highly recommend this car over any car on the market right now.

  • Poor quality control - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    When braking the car still down shifts hard. The poor quality control refers to the interior. We have owned many cars and this one had more rattles and noises coming from the headliner, and the center column, than all the cars we have ever owned. When taken in for service to try and fix the problem, we were always told they couldnt hear for find any problem. Needless to say we only kept the car for 5 months.

    Went looking for a FWD car with a blend of luxury and sport and found it in the TL. Closest comparison for me was the G35x, but the interior (and features) of the TL was far superior and cost about $3k less. All the standard features (sunroof, leather, high end sound system, heated seats, hands free voice activated dialing, etc.) make buying this car a breeze.

  • I love this car - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive never had a car I loved, until now. The car for the price is the best deal you can get. (over LS 330 or BMW) I priced out an Audi A4 and to get the same options, youd have to pay over $5k more. No question, the nicest car Ive ever driven and that includes, the 745i, and a Mercedes 300 coupe. The front wheel drive hurts it against the competition, but living in the northest, I wont doing a lot of autobahn driving.

  • LOVE MY ACURA TL - 2004 Acura TL

    Fun to drive. Plenty of power. The inside is very comfortable and the navigation system is excellent. Voice recognition is the way to go.

  • Big bang for the bucks - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Effortless acceleration makes driving almost intuitive; by the time ive had the thought that id like to be ahead of that tractor-trailor, I already am. You are never hindered by lack of power. Cruising at 80 on a steep uphill, I can effortlessly accelarate without even flooring it. It feels so "at home" at high speed that with the windows shut you can creep up into the nineties without even noticing. So far, I havent found a piece of highway that it cant handle at twice the posted speed.

    Weak spots-some road noise at 70 mph, although otherwise very quiet, cellphone adapters are poorly placed. Navigational system and excellent right are easy to get used to and appreciate, but my 2002 Impala has a lot more features at 60% of the cost.

  • Very good, but needs some tweaks - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had my 2004 TL for a little over a year. Ive had a few of the rattles of which others have complained, but the rattles actually seem to have subsided in recent months. Nonetheless, the rattles have been my number one issue. The gas mileage has not been quite as good as advertised. Overall, Ive been satisfied with the car, but not so pleased that I wont look for a different make when replacing it in a few years.
