Not ready for sale

The interior was in good condition, although half of the controls did not seem to work including the radio and home dash settings. The battery was completely dead when I came the first time which seemed odd so possibly an electrical leak somewhere. During the test drive the engine sounded like it was over working itself. I am not too familiar with what a V6 Acura should sound like, but even the lady showing me the car asked if the transmission was all the way in drive (it was).

Bought new in Oct 2004, Black Ext and Int only 69K

This car meets all expectations- performance with decent gas mileage and road trips with great gas mileage. Only 3 issues over the years ? Blue Tooth failed, door latch activator have gone out on 3 doors and stereo amplifier went out. I will probably keep another 10 years!

Great car.

This car has an exterior design that was ahead of its time so ages very nicely. Was my daily for 4 years and never gave me too much trouble. I bought my car used and aside from the normal wear and tear it didn't have much surprise fixes needed.

Amazing bang for the buck

About to sell mine. Absurdly reliable. Best combination of fun and economy of all 12 cars I have owned. Wish they still made them.

Nice family car with a little get up and go.

It is everything you could ask for in a sedan. Speed, comfort, room, and luxury. It also has technology that is still up to date like the bluetooth phone connectivity with steering wheel controls so you are hands free.

A new driving experience

This car is very sleek, the interior is comfortable and power it has is exactly what I wanted. Definitely a huge difference from the older American car I was driving.

Very reliable and stylish car

I bought a 10-year-old TL with 93,000 miles and it still drives like it?s new. It?s definitely sporty and has a powerful engine, and the interior is very well designed and luxurious. Given the mechanics at the dealership said they see many of these with over 200,000 miles, I plan to be driving it for many years to come.

Smooth Ride

Japanese quality car. Never run into any problems, very easy to do mechanical work on, like changing breaks, oil, or tune-ups. One of the smoothest rides for a car that is over 12 years old. Also, really powerful vehicle.
