Overview & Reviews

The TL Type-S makes its debut this year, sporting a 260-horsepower engine, sport-tuned suspension, Vehicle Stability Assist and 17-inch tires. 2002 also sees some styling revisions to the TL's front end and taillights. An in-dash six-CD changer, one-touch-up driver's window and two-position memory system for driver seat and mirrors are newly standard on both the 3.2 TL and the Type-S, and Acura has added insulation materials to the doors and reshaped the side mirrors to cut down on wind and road noise inside the cabin. Anthracite Metallic, Aegean Blue Pearl and Eternal Blue Pearl are the new exterior colors.

• Excellent value, comfortable front seats, impressive power from Type-S engine, SportShift transmission is fun to use.

• Average interior materials, cramped rear seat room, lacks the panache of some competing luxury sedans.

  My good choice - 2002 Acura TL
  By stevesil - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Comfort is exceptional, particularly for drivers who need thigh support. Handling is a pleasure. The car is totally responsive at highway speeds for both acceleration and braking. The driving experience has been excellent.

  I owned an Acura Integra prior to buying this car. Im hooked on Acura. They are reliable, dependable cars. The TL is beautiful and everything comes standard except the navigation system. I love it!

  Dont want to trade it in! - 2002 Acura TL
  By sm - April 20 - 5:58 pm

  I bought my 2002 Acura TL certified pre-owned in 2004 and its going on 5 years now. It still looks new inside and out. I was thinking about upgrading to the new Acura but was very disappointed in the look of the new models. Tacky interior trim and bulky looking exterior. My blue 02 is SO much better looking. I guess Ill be keeping it for a while. Zero issues with maintenance, no transmission problems.

  I purchased the car after my sons lease was up. Since I have had the car its been great. The gas mileage is very good and the maintaince cost have been minimal. I have had 23 new cars, and this TL has been one of the best!

  This Will Not Be My Last Acura - 2002 Acura TL
  By Tony C. - February 14 - 8:57 pm

  I use to own a 2006 Ford Escape that I only had for four months and the piece of junk truck keep breaking down on me just was not reliable. When I saw my new Acura I feel in love with it the day I saw it. This car is the best car that I have owned. For as big as this car is it is better on fuel than my 4 cyl Ford Escape was. I like the fact that when I lock the car I do not have an annoying horn that sounds just a quite beep.

  By M.Ziolo TL - October 3 - 2:00 am

  I looked at the BMW 330,325,M-B c320,lexus IS,ES,GS, and Infinti G35 and this baby has better quality, engine, and cooler styling than the rest. The TL is best bang for the buck.

  A great car that improves with age - 2002 Acura TL
  By BMW Enthusiast - July 17 - 10:56 am

  We have had the 2002 Acura now for 6 years and the darned thing looks and performs exactly as if it had just pulled out of the dealership. It has always been a surprisingly nimble car, great handling, nice acceleration when you need it but whats most remarkable is how well it has aged. Still feels like new. Never a single mechanical issue. Rock solid quality. I originally got it for the value and it has more than delivered. Its made me an Acura fan.
