Best car deal I've ever gotten.

This car had such a great deal and worked so well, it's so comfortable and there are no stains. They tell you all the details on the car and they people there are so nice and helpful. They helped me find the perfect car and I have no regrets on it.

The best car I have ever owned

I purchased my 2004 TL (Base model) used in 2008 with 70k miles thinking I would drive it around for a couple years and get rid of it for another used car - now at 200k miles in, it's tough to give up! This car has been nothing short of amazing. Mechanically, I have only performed regular, recommended maintenance and have had no serious mechanical failure or problem in all of its years. There are a few common problems associated with this mode, but all are minor in my opinion. The dash board has been known to crack (Mine has cracked significantly), but this does not detract from the reliability of this model. The leather seats are in my opinion, not very sturdy, and mine have started to crack and tear despite upkeep with leather cleaner and conditioner. This is a great car. I will likely drive this thing until it completely crumbles.

Ten years strong

I have had my Acura TL for ten years. Brought it used with one previous owner and 70,000 miles on it. It's now on 308,000 miles and still runs. Overall, I've had to replace the transmission twice, and the timing and serpentine belts. I've had to fix a few other minor things from year to year. Overall though, regular oil changes go a long way and I've been satisfied with its performance and comfort. It rides smoothly as well.

Most reliable car I've owned, great until 145k

Great car, tons of included technology, extremely comfortable on long drives, big trunk, best looking Acura Sedan made. Great feedback on winding roads and very responsive engine. I wanted to replace it for 4 years, but it ran so darn well always reliable, I couldn't justify it. Transmission finally started having issues at 145k.

Great Upgrade for our daughter

We were looking for an upgrade from our daughter's first car and she absolutely loves her Acura. From the look to the gas mileage, she has been thrilled with is so far.

Nicest and most dependable car ive ever owned for

I own a 2004 acura tl 6sp. I got a great deal. It has every available option. Well maintained i can tell by how quiet and how stout the engine is. Just glad i chose my Acura over the2006 infinity QX45.

Mix of comfort, quality, and performance

The Acura TL has the power and feel of a sports car, but with the same comfort of a luxury sedan. I have enjoyed driving mine as a daily driver and love the way the car looks on the inside and outside.
