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.

2004 Dynamic - 2004 Acura TL
By claire9 - February 4 - 6:37 pmI bought my TL new in early 2005 and it has been dealer serviced with 110,000 kms at the moment. I have had nothing to service of significance except a new battery and a front brake job. I have regularly treated the leather and it still looks like new. The best tires I have found for the vehicle are Continental Extreme Contacts. Unfortunately my in-dash cd player stopped working last year and I had Future Shop connect an ipod cable to the system for running my music in the car on trips. I have had 4 acuras in my family (2 TLs and 2 Integras) and they have all been trouble free. They are indeed well designed and well built vehicles.

This is a fantastic automobile! - 2004 Acura TL
By acurafan15 - November 28 - 12:03 pmWords cannot express how fond I am of this car I have been in love with my TL ever since I first drove it. It just surpassed 181,000 miles, and I have enjoyed every single moment. Soon this car will be 10 years old, but it still manages to fetch compliments and stares daily. I have friends, family, and co-workers who dont believe the mileage. It has held up perfectly (paint, interior, mechanically) and even mechanics/Acura service centers find the mileage hard to believe. There is a reason that so many of these cars are still on the road, they are perfect! I love whenever someone complains about the maintenace cost/price tag of their car (BMW, etc.) and I never have anything to say.

A love affair like no other - 2004 Acura TL
By harrybarry104 - July 17 - 6:13 pmI just bought my Acura TL with 153k. I was skeptic at even looking when I heard of the mileage but it has been an absolute gem. The build quality surpasses Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. I turn heads almost everywhere I go, and have been getting amazing gas mileage. You would never guess the age or mileage on this car. I have to say, if youre looking for a great car, this is it. Ive only owned the car for a week, but have made several long distance trips. Everytime I sit in my Acura, I smile, and Im constantly looking for an excuse to go somewhere. What a great vehicle from Honda.

Near ...Perfection. - 2004 Acura TL
By fastone4 - June 20 - 12:48 amThe Acura TL is a near perfection automobile. It handles nimbly and has great power when needed. The dashboard navigation is fantastic and loaded with XM and very good (not Bose) sound. If you are fortunate enough to find one in good shape get it!

Honda made a jewel - 2004 Acura TL
By dspau122 - June 8 - 7:54 pmI was torn between the g35 sedan and the tl. I am so glad I chose the Acura. It has been an outstanding vehicle to drive. It has every bell and whistle you could ask for. The engine is very responsive and it has plenty of power. The only thing keeping this car out of perfection is the front wheel drive. I think 270 horses would feel better on the rear wheels. Aside from that it is an awesome investment and Honda made a good product

Nothin But 5 Stars...Except - 2004 Acura TL
By steveet - April 20 - 5:05 pmThere havent been many cars in my lifetime that make me smile when I sit in the drivers seat, but this little Acura TL makes it happen every time. Its a kick to drive with the auto/manuel tranny. Im the original owner with 89000 I have to say this ride is still pretty tight. I keep good rubber on it at all times so handling and cornering is very good. The down sides? If the battery goes dead, which it will w/o warning as has happened 3 times, Acura neglected to put in a chip backup for things list your Bluetooth phonebook! Bluetooth mic is on the low to poor scale - Had to mark it down for that. Torque steer - yep, only if you mash it from a dead stop. Overall, Best car Ive ever owned.

Great Care w/ a Few Problems - 2004 Acura TL
By mke_driver - October 6 - 2:22 pmI bought my 2004 TL used with approximately 72K miles on it. Ive had it for a little over 2 years now and have noticed some issues arise. After looking at other TLs it seems that discoloration in the side mirrors is pretty common with this model. I have also had to replace my O2 sensor after failing an emissions test. Just recently my passenger side headlight went out. I have no idea why they built the car like they did but in order to replace either of the headlights(not fog lights), you need to take the bumper off the car making it close to a $400 job ($200 for the headlight & $200 in labor). Its still a great car but can be a little costly to fix at times! Will check in again!

Love this car - 2004 Acura TL
By mel63 - December 16 - 12:01 pmI bought this 2004 Acura TL new. I now have 185,00 miles on it, 95% of them being highway miles. A few problems here and there, but all in all its the greatest car Ive had. My bluetooth has problems off and on and my navigation system has died due to it being in the trunk and I live 2 miles off the highway on a dirt and dusty road. Would love to know if anyone else has had more miles than mine and if yours is still running well.

I Love This Car - 2004 Acura TL
By Mike - November 11 - 2:00 amThis is my second TL. I love the looks of this car. It is still stylish after 6 years and I never get tired of driving it. The standard features that this car has still amaze me. I have had just about zero problems with this car. Had the issue of wearing through my first set of tires at 20K but the suspension fix and new tires at half price fixed that. Second set of Bridgestones are holding up well. I have no major complaints

Fun to drive - 2004 Acura TL
By Guy - August 3 - 1:47 pmIve had vehicle since February 2004. DVD hard drive failed within year but covered under warranty. At 60,000 the upholstery started breaking down and developing tears. At 100K I have to replace upholstery. Very poor quality leather used. Other than that, its been a joy to drive.
