  • TL is Tops - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    This car has it all. It starts with a great price, and the outstanding service of Acura(Honda). The exterior styling is a cut above anything else Acura(Honda) has ever produced. It has aggressive exterior lines that are not overdone. The interior is incredible. From the blue backlights behind the radio dials, and above the shifter, to the superior leather quality, this car is simply wonderful to be in. The radio sound quality is incredible. The car is quick and agile; the ride is smooth on the straights, and stable on the curves. I gladly gave up my Maxima for this beauty. This is a must see for anyone in the market for a new sedan.

  • The ALL-New TL is the Truth.... - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I had considered leaving the Acura fold. I owned a 1992 Vigor, and realized the newer versions of the TL where even more BORING than my old car I had considered buying a German make (Audi) to get the styling/fun-to-drive and technologically interesting factor back. I wanted smaller/faster/fuel efficient/fun and "Fly". The new TSX looked promising but I found it to be invisible from a styling point of view, and not good enough to spend the 27K think (MAZADA 6) Then along comes the NEW TL.. Its handsome/aggressive/swoopy redesign, 270 BHP and the 6 speed from the S2000 and an you have a VERY interesting car on your hands.

  • Rattles but rolls - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Disappointed with the build quality of this car. Expect more from Acura/Honda product. Many interior rattles, headliner fell and body panels misaligned. Engine and ride are excellent. Would wait a year for Acura to get the bugs out. I thought I wouldnt have to worry about that with a Honda product, but I guess I was wrong.

  • Getting the most for your money - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    The only problem that Iev had with the car is several visits back to the Acura service department because the front seat clip that connects the seats plastic base to the leather seat. The Service dept. claims to have replaced it (seat clip) on every occasion, but breaks shortly after that. PS Good luck in finding an affordable cellphone with the blue tooth feature under $150.

  • Acura TL 6MT - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Although Ive only had the car for 4 days, I cant stop driving it!!(TL with Navigation and 6MT) Previously had a 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Quatro, and for the money, the acura has this beat hands down.

  • Keep The TL in Mind - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I researched and drove just about every sedan in this class and the TL is the best by far. The Vtech engine is very powerful and quiet. The interior is as stylish as there is in this class. Everyone who has driven in my TL loves it. I have a friend who drives a 5 series and loves his car from april- december but dreads the winter months here in New England. I on the otherhand cant wait for the snow, the TL is up to the challange!! Another friend has the Infinity G 35 and was disappointed that she didnt come across the TL when she was shopping. She instantly fell in love with my car. The changes from last years TL are plenty, drive this car!!

  • Simply a Great Car!!! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I have been driving this car about a month and still cant wait to go to work in the morning to drive it. This Japanese car borrows heavily from German influenced styling which gives it a great ground hugging capability with a beautiful interior. I considered a 04 Maxima and this car CRUSHES the Maxima for only a fraction more in price. The quality of this car made the Maxima seem cheap in quality!!!

  • Love, love, love this car! - 2004 Acura TL

    I have owned 3 Hondas and decided to make the move to the Acura. This car is an attention getter for sure. I purchased it to use for my new sales position and my sales agents and customers love this car.

  • Love our TL - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Excellent acceleration and handling. Comfortable and stylish interior. Fun to drive. Handsome exterior body style.

  • Best value on the market - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    Owned a Lexus, Infiniti, Jag, Mercedes in the past few years. This is by far the best overall car of the above. I had heard so much about the new Chrysler 300 and thought sure I would buy one the day they came out. Not only is the Chrysler 3.5 more expensive, it is junk compared to my 3.2 TL
