Had a great experience with the service advisor, Eric on
Had a great experience with the service advisor, Eric on 8-27-25. Had a some questions for an app't the following day. Arrived at 5:00 and not only did Eric, the service advisor, save me a couple of hundred dollars, but was able to get the recommended service completed in a half hour without having an app't. I have not always had great experiences but this made up for the lack of attentiveness in the past. Have been a customer since 1990 and will continue to have Planet Honda in Golden to service my 2018 CRV Honda.
I bought my car in 2016 with 40k miles on it.
I bought my car in 2016 with 40k miles on it. I've owned it for 9 years and it now has 183k miles on it! The engine still purs like a kitten after all these years. It's a very reliable car with plenty of power and awesome performance, especially around the corners! It's a really fun car to drive and I look forward to adding plenty more enjoyable miles to it! Worth every penny!!

High Mileage TL SH-AWD Technology Package
Purchased 6/21 with 200K miles. Put another 20K miles on it since. Interior/Exterior are immaculate. 6 speed manual shifts smoother that any car I've owned. In almost 50 years of driving, I have never owned a car that was this comfortable, fun to drive "spiritedly" and almost bulletproof reliable. It really is everything I could possibly ask from an under $10K car and then some. Needless to say, with any high mileage, 10 year old car, it did require some servicing and maintenance to get it back to a "close to like new" condition. Changed all fluids, spark plugs, filters and brake pads/rotors. Replaced entire suspension, since it was all original. Will be replacing the timing belt/water pump soon, only because I have no idea on when they were last replaced. The only downside is that burns little over half a quart of oil every 1K miles. Supposedly, that is an issue with the Acura 3.7l motors, due to the unique cylinder sleeves. Still, compression and leak down test numbers are within spec. For such a high mileage engine, I'm not complaining. One thing I know for sure, my estate will have to deal with this car because I will never sell it. PERIOD!

I asked for the detail to polish out few scratches and scuffs, the car was taken back to the detail shop and brought back with little to no change. Either the detail shop did a poor job or nothing at all. While the salesperson was very nice and attentive, he mentioned that even new cars have scratches on them. .y concern was my car not the new cars.
Superb car and super fun to Drive
This is hands down the best Acura TL! My first one was the base model which is FWD with a 3.5 L engine, but the SH-AWD Technology package with the 3.7L is a beast and super fun to drive! A very reliable car, with little to no issues at all. Hot collectors car for enthusiasts who are not a fan of the new TLX. 100% recommend!

We had an excellent experience at Carlsen Subaru.. If you decide to buy a Subaru, do give them a try, I am sure, you will not be disappointed, as they will offer the best deal possible. Ask for Aaron
Perfect blend of sport/luxury
The handling and power of an all wheel drive manual, (SH-AWD), makes this car the most enjoyable ride I've ever owned. Sadly manual is almost extinct these days. Don't ever dare sell her because I may never experience a quality ride that the newer cars don't seem to deliver for the price.

John at Drum Hill is the best buying experience I have
John at Drum Hill is the best buying experience I have had in years. He is very professional, his office manager is very responsive to her customers. They shipped my Mini Cooper to Maryland thru the snow. My Wife has since taken it from me. Their prices are very fair and the vehicle was in excellent condition!! We are very happy with Them and will buy another car from them in the future and can count on a wonderful buying experience. From Massachusetts to Maryland with an understanding and honest dealership!!! Fantastic
Great value
This is a well needed vehicle and a great price . Lots of leg room and ease of use that most cars dont have ..

Without a doubt this was the fastest most enjoyable
Without a doubt this was the fastest most enjoyable Automobile purchase I have made in the past 30 + years. I spent about 30 minutes total inside the dealership for the purchase of my new to me truck. I gave them a phone call told Robert what I was looking for. Got a call back the next day with an offer was emailed pictures and a vin &we made a deal. Not only did they save me a lot of money & time they also gave me more on my trade in. I had 3 other dealerships looking for the truck and trim I wanted for 3 months and these guys found it in a day. Plus there were NO EXTRA CHARGES I will definitely be doing business with them again because they are willing to go the extra mile for you. Thank you again for the smoothest auto purchase ever.

Excellent experiences
Our family has purchased 5 cars from LH Miller in Murray over the last 25 years - 3 new and 2 used - 4 Hondas and one Jetta VW. They all have been wonderful cars, all being safe and sturdy cars. Wayne Emery is the sales person we worked with on buying all 5 cars - being very helpful in deciding on the best car that matched what we were looking for. It?s always been a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend Larry H Miller Honda in Murray, Utah and Wayne Emery for both new and used car. They are my go to for cars.

This was the best car buying experience!
This was the best car buying experience! Jeff was amazing to work with. He was able to make a possibly stressful and dreadful experience easy and very pleasant. Jeff gave me a great deal on my trade in. Went over and above in service with including new tires, rechecking the vehicle over with any cost to me! Jeff, Boyle Auto is a treasure! I am so grateful I was directed here by my credit union. I thoroughly enjoy driving once again. Thank you Jeff! It was so worth the drive from Green Bay, WI, Sylvia

The sales person was nice and professional and the cars were Clean and ready for test drive. They were not very responsive to our concerns regarding noise in the front end. Not sure I would really recommend unless you know a thing or two about cars or have a fixd computer module like I do. It’s saved me from making a bad decision on more Than one occasion.

Service was great and was honest!
I stopped here after many dealerships and found exactly what I was looking for at a fraction of the cost. The salesmen were honest and quick. They didn't try to get me into something I didn't want. I will refer all my friends in the north end and I think my mom is coming back to purchase from here as well.
