  • 3 Months, No Regrets - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL has been an absolute blast to own and drive for the last 3 months. This car is extremely strong from a standstill and also at speed on the highway. Ive beaten a WRX off the line. Power even at 75 mph comes on in buckets. Yes, there is torque steer on hard acceleration, but unless youre particularly atrophied, it shouldnt be much of a concern. I remain convinced this car (and the G35) is by far the best value in its price point. In addition, it is as comfortable a car Ive ever been in and extremely fun to drive. Throw in good gas mileage, nearly every option known to man, and reliability, and what else could you ask for?

    Second TL. My 1st was 1999. My first impression was it shrunk. But after driving one its wasnt small at all. Trunk space smaller but it will still hold 3 golf bags. Performance is outstanding and the interior is comfortable, functional, and all the controls at your finger tips. Navigation system a MUST! Once I get my bluetooth phone Im set to go. I dont think any car can beat the ELS sound system. One problem: my controls on the steering wheel gets hot. Do I need to have the dealship look into this? Otherwise, Im very happy with my Anthracite metallic, 5A, with Nav system. Gas mileage better than my 99.

    My wife and I were both looking for new cars, she narrowed picks down to the TL or S60 (I was against anything turbo so TL was obvious choice)... but I was all over the place - looking at G35 coupes, Corvettes, etc. and hadnt really considered another 4 door car - but the comfort / features / styling / price / and ratings won me over (+ negotiating 2 cars = good deal). Got the first one (w/o Nav) this weekend and pick up mine (w/Nav) tomorrow. Looks great, drives & rides great and performs better than a 530i... my sole complaint: trunk lid feels a little flimsy (anyone else think this?)

  • WOW MOM WOW!!! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    I searched for 1 yr before purchasing this car. Started with the germans, looked into the japanese, perused the Sweeds. I got down to 4 finalists. Saab 93 Aero, Acura TL, BMW 330i, and Infiniti G35. I hate the G35 seats horrible bolsters, and whats up with the switches on the inside,the tranny was too gruff. The 330 was great as expected but 3k more + everybody has one here in LA. The worst thing about the 330 was the sensor under the rearview obtrusive and ugly. Saab or Acura... 6sp, good engines and euro feeling... When you consider the Saab is 2k more than Acura before any options it seemed like a no Brainer... It was the Acura TL 6sp for me. Best Bang for the Buck...

    Very fun to drive. Great value compared to BMW 330i. Also considered the G35 but the added features on the TL (DVD-Audio, Bluetooth, XM Radio standard, ...) and interior quality has the Infiniti beat.

  • Awesome Fun - 2004 Acura TL

    Before buying this car, I test drove the BMW 330, Infiniti G35, Mazda RX8, Lexus IS300. I heard about it last minute from friends and the Internet. After driving the car, I knew this was the car for me. The base equipment is hard to beat for the price and the performance is outstanding

  • Luxurious, Refined and Sporty - 2004 Acura TL

    This car as thought of everything. World class one-of-a-kind stereo, 270HP,and silky smoothe. One of the fastest Front wheel Drives out there. Be fast... but be classy too.

  • A lot of car for the money! - 2004 Acura TL
    By -

    It was a lot more car than I expected in this price range. The more I drive it, the better I feel I made the right choice. Performance was very impressive, having been around muscle cars most of my life, Ive been used to seat of the pants acceleration and was pleased with what the TL was capable of.

  • great car...except for the tires - 2004 Acura TL
