"I got the car in Sept 2004 with 39K on it is now Sept 08 with 143K on it. Only problem is the radio going to anti-theft mode and the code not working to unlock it at 120K. Other then that it has been usual maintenance of tires, oil changes, and battery. The brakes seem to last forever by the way have not changed them yet. By the far the best of my 3 cars over my 16 years of driving."

"the transmissions in the type-s are known to fail, this is a factory defect from 99 to part of 03. the trans will fail to shift, slip, downshift (on its own), and will even throw itself in neutral. This is due to a 3rd gear shift being bad, if the work was done by acura prior to 3/2005 the trans will fail again, anything done by acura after 3/2005 is fixed. I love my car to death, wouldnt trade her for the world, but the trans put me back $1900. with aamco to rebuild and fix the issue."

"I own 2002 tl s daily driver, I drive about 70 highway miles rt 5 days, so far the car has been fun to drive, nice throaty sound when you step on it, tight handling for a large sedan. I have had trouble with the front rotors, they warp quickly so you get steering wheel shudder when braking, which leads to fast tire wear. Acura did have a recall for the transmission oil jet replacement, which I had done, so I thought I was in the clear. Not so, recently my transmisson went out, lcukily I was covered under the warranty. I ve been reading other acura forums and the repeat transmission and rotor problems are the largest complaints."

"This is a wonderful car. I would recomend getting the navigation system if you are looking into an accura. Other than that, this car has it all. I feel it is reliable and safe."

"This is one of the two best cars I've owned - the other being a Toyota Camry. The one major difference is that Acura service is the service you would expect from a luxury dealership - 1st class treatment all the way."
