Buyer Beware

I was a proud owner of the 2004 Acura TL. Loved that car. I had to buy another Acura thinking the car would make me just a happy. That didn't happen. The transmission doesn't know where it is. It bangs and knocks and when you left off the gas it feels like you are lunging forward. They say that the banging noise is "normal". I was told that I was confusing the car when I drove it. After all, it's a sensitive transmission. What a piece of junk. It's a hard ride and very noisy as well. They cut every corner they could on this car and it shows. They didn't cut the price either. What is standard options on so many other cars now, you pay dearly for on an Acura. I will never, ever purchase another Acura. Never!

Falls a bit short of European models

High marks on comfort, options, materials and workmanship. Lacking a bit in performance and roominess. Overall, excellent!

Overpriced, underperforming

I've owned 9 new Honda / Acura automobiles since 1987. This is by far the worst of all those vehicles. Exhaust noise unacceptable for a "near luxury" car. Transmission sometimes sounds and feels as if it will fall out of the car. Sometimes hunts for a gear. Love both the exterior and interior colors. Trunk door drips water into the trunk when opened during or after it rains. Mileage is acceptable. Not great. Brakes are outstanding for street use. Somewhere Honda lost sight of the "performance" part of Acura. Advertising the NSX does not relate to the rest of the line up. Ovrpriced! Under performing!
