Great "budget" luxury car

We put tens of thousands of miles on the car without any real issues. We regularly drove cross country with no problems. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury vehicle on a budget. WAY better than the alternatives.

I LOVE IT BUT IT IS FRUSTRATING

I've owned the car since 2009 with 25K miles and now have 163K miles on it. I maintain it routinely. I fell in love with the interior styling, sound system, comfort and acceleration. The turning radius has always been lacking. Two problems I have had that I have been told are common on this vehicle are the handsfree link failing and the power steering pump failing. The handsfree link fails and drains the battery even while the car is off. The repair consists of replacing the entire overhead control assembly and is $600 for parts. I have been through 4 power steering pumps at $450 each time. My mechanic told me the only way to stop this from repeating is to replace both the pump and the rack and pinion at a cost of $1200.

I curse the hail storm that trashed my 2006 Acura.

Best car I’d ever owned. Tried to replace it with 2012, but was never the same. Fast. Reliable. I got 31 mpg hiway. Easy maintenance. Tight feel. I’m very sad...

The performance of this car was beyond belief.

The cars was very comfortable and the performance was exceptional. The exterior design is state of the art. When you see one on the road, it doesn't look as old as it is.

Reliable Luxury Car for what you pay for..

An exquite car with both luxury and performance all in one. Solid handling and aggressive horsepower at 258 HP. The car overall is reliable and is a good bang for your buck car. I have been pleased with the amenities of the interior luxury this car has to offer.

Great car!

This is such a great vehicle. Very stylish. A style that is standing the test of time as these cars look great even after 13 years. The car has all the comfort features. This car is as reliable as they come. In 13 years never had a single problem. Just an awesome car.

Runs like a sports car, but still can get 30+ mpg

Very reliable, fast, fun car that can get you good gas mileage if you want it to. The only negative I'd say is getting in and out could be a problem if your a very large person because the car is very low. Plus their DVD Audio stereo system never panned out, but it does sound great.
