  • Best Car I Ever Had - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    I really believed that this one is supposed to be a glorified Accord. I was wrong. The difference is like east to west

  • going back to my maxima - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    After a Camry and a Maxima which were great for over 150,000 miles, we bought our first "luxury" car. Today, after 3 years and 30,000 miles, it is getting a new transmission. As soon as we get it home, well trade it in for something more reliable. Otherwise, why not expect another problem at 60,000 when we are no longer under warranty? What a disappointment!

  • Nice performance sedan - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    For a front drive automobile, the 2001 Acura TL is hard to beat. With the optional mapping system, impossible to get lost. Wife does not want another car without it as it makes getting to unknown destinations that much easier. Although others have reported transmission problems, at 53,000 miles after 30 months this car is holding up well. No repairs except for one rattle which has been resolved. The car is as troublefree as we had hoped. Highly recommended.

  • Fun but with consistent issue - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    Love the car, consistent great dealer service (3 different dealers in 3 years b/c of job transfers). Only issue is a consistent trim flaw (seen on several other 00 and 01 too) The rear door trim peels/falls apart after about 8,000 miles. Actual service notice was sent by Acura to dealers. A real annoyance every 9 months to replace.

  • A FINE PERFORMER - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    THIS IS MY INITIAL EXPERIENCE WITH AN ACURA. IT IS A FINE AUTO IN ALL RESPECTS, VERY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION (NO SQUEAKS OR RATTLES AFTER 41K MILES), GREAT PERFORMANCE, AND EXCELLENT GAS MILEAGE. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED USED, AND I DID NOT REALIZE THAT IT TOOK PREMIUM GAS WHICH I WOULD SAY IS ITS ONLY SHORTCOMING. HOLDS CURVES VERY WELL, AND I WOULD SAY THAT ITS ONE OF THE BETTER AUTOS IVE HAD IN OVER FIFTY YEARS OF DRIVING.

  • Fun car with nice dash board buttons - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL beet out the BMW 330 and Inf I30. Fun to drive and so smooth that I easily hit 80mph thinking its 65. Comfortable in stop and go traffic. Seat padding and multiple positions keep it comfortable. The TL steering, and cockpit dashboard made me feel like I still had a sports car. The only complaint was the service costs were rediculous: $100.00- $300.00/3k miles for oil changes and the other stuff they said I needed.

  • acura 3.2 T.L. - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    The car has been a great experience. The body style could stand to be redesigned, but the interior is great. I have been in the Audi A6 and the BMW 3 series niether of witch have the ease of operation of all controls like my TL.

  • Not too shabby - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    For the most part I like what this car has to offer as basic features.. heated seats and mirrors, sunroof etc. I did have to have a new transmission but in after the last one almost killed me by stalling and almost stopping dead in its tracks on I-95 in Florida but overall I think its a great car for the money and resale looks good.

  • Buy this car! - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    This car has been awesome! I have been very impressed with the quality, ride comfort, and how quick this car is.

  • Quiet, Comfortable, yet Alert and Respon - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    I loved it from the first second. It looks and feels like a quiet luxury car (say the Lexus ES300), yet drives like a sports car. I drove the Lexus and its not even close - The Acura is much more fun, quiet and more taut and responsive.
