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.
Cons:

  • Great car - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Smooth, powerful, fun to drive. Especially like the navigation system and xm radio. Lots of interesting features.

  • Disappointed with the build - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Comparing the TL against Infiniti G35, BMW 330Ci, it looks great on papers.. the TL is so much better for the money. I almost bought the G35, but backed out after seeing the TL on the street. But when I actually came to test drive the TL.. I was so diappointed with the craftsmanship. The linings/gaps are not even, assemblies/build is terrible for a luxury car standards. The sound is better than most cars, but not as great as I thought. I changed my mind after seeing the TL up close. Very disappointed. The design is EXCELLENT, the power is superb, but the build ruins it. Need better assembly crews. Cmon Ohio...

  • Dont believe the bad reviews - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive read numerous bad reviews - dont believe them. My TL has been awesome. Seats are perfect, the quality is better than the Lexus I own, and the performance is unreal. BMW 3-series does have better steering, but I cant live with RWD in upstate NY. Had to replace bad OEM tires, but the dealer did so without batting an eyelash. Other than that, Ive had no problems in the 10 months Ive owned the car. No rattles, no CD problems, or any of the other issues raised in other reviews.

  • Love my TL 2004 - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    After researhing everything worthy in the sport lux class (Volvo R/80, Saab 9-5,BMW 5,Lexus IS/ES,Infiniti G, Jag X...), I drove the Acura TL. Never considered an Acura in my life. I was blown away by performance, luxury, high tech goodies, safety, reliability and value. While not the leader in any one category, the sum of the part is compelling. If you are willing to trade a little "fun" for safety/value, the TL 2004 is the best vehicle in its class.

    I had my search down to 3 cars 1) Infiniti G35X ruled this one out in my opinion the styling does not compete with the Acura mainly inside the car 2) Lexus ES300 Just no Fun to drive 3) Volvo S60R not worth the extra $10,000. The TL Gave me everything I needed a big trunk do wish it had 60/40Split. Comfortable quite drive lots of power would be nice if the power went to all 4 wheels though and the best navigation system out there. All in all you get a lot of bang for your buck in terms of luxury customer service and performance that I did not think any other car offered.

  • Acura let me down in the new model - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I have owned Acura for many years. Traded in a 2000 TL for the new 2004 TL in November 2003. Like the handling and style. The car rattles a lot. The noise comes from the console and the driver side door. I took it to the dealer twice and still could not get it fixed. Im selling it at 6,100 miles. Will switch brand. I think Acura quality is going down hill. The dealer loaned me a TSX and RSX and both of those cars rattles also.

  • A WINNER - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    ITS A WINNER--STLYE, PERFORMANCE, COMFORT, FUN, AND A GOOD SOLID VALUE. THE THINGS THAT ARE MISSING ARE OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE IN DAY TO DAY USE-- FOLD DOWN REAR SEAT, LIGHT IN THE SMALL GLOVE BOX, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. YOUR MISSING OUT IF YOU DONT AT LEAST GIVE A TEST DRIVE.

  • Perfect Car under $35k - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    This is a kindda car I always wanted. With all options, with all toys, with a good performance, with good styling and still good price. The only car I could justify for the price. Best value for $$. Id compared G35, CTS, base 530i, ES300 and TL was not a difficult decision.

  • BMW Eater - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL is a great sports sedan and an even better value. There is nothing like having BMW 3 and 5 series for lunch at stop lights, not to mention the superior finish, reliability, and value of the Acura. The design is fresh and not often seen on the road. The engine is excellent, a lot of torque with the reliability and engineering you expect from Acura. The suspension is tight, but not uncomfortably so. 0-60 performance/ highway driving excellent. The understeer from the front wheel drive is something to be aware of and the rear end is a tad light at high speed cornering. The growl of this car alone in the $50K+ like interior is worth it!
