20 years old and still a daily driver

We bought our TL certified used back in 2004 and we're still driving it today. It's quiet, very comfortable, handles well and still has pretty decent power, even at 205,000 miles. It's been very reliable, especially considering this is a luxury car with lots of systems that could break down, but don't. The only issue, if you could call it that, is the HID headlights usually need to be serviced every 10 years or so, and it's an expensive repair, unless you do it yourself.

Outside of home. This car is my place of security

Front passenger seat should be as comfortable as the drivers seat. I have driven this vehicle thousands of miles .current mileage 279001. My wife usually has to place a seat cushion after a few hours on the road. I always encourage her to sit in the rear as the back seats are comfortable. Her reply is yes but they don’t recline😂

I love it! My second TL

This is my second Acura TL and my first one is still running and driving 100% with zero issues, had 232k miles before I sold it and I regret selling it. It was a 2003 TL Type S. This is a 2001 TL 3.2 w/Nav. It's runs awesome and drives with no issues. Same issues as any car just regular maintenance as you would have with any car. Only common problems I have noticed is heated seat wire shorts out, and evap Purge valve canister. Also the 2nd gear in the transmission gives out, Acura had a recall and added a tranny fluid cooler which fixes the issue. I've owned 20+ cars and this is by far my favorite!

Most trouble free car I've ever owned

A joy to own and fun to drive. The interior is comfortable and easy on the eyes, everything is easy to operate. Lots of trunk space.

Best Car I've Ever Had

This car was my baby. I'd still have it today if I didn't wreck it in a car accident. It rode very smoothly and was so reliable despite the fact it had over 200,000 miles on it. Best car ever.
