I bought this car new. This car has been wonderfully reliable. I have never had it in service for a mechanical problem. As a female driver, this is very important to me. I use premium gas as recommended but with todays prices, I am going to try mid- grade again although I tried that once and noticed a negative difference. My mileage in the city is about 20 and on the highway 27-28. I feel very safe in this car and have learned to appreciate the styling although after having an Infiniti J30, I thought this car could use more pizazz in the exterior styling. What can I say - I love this car.
Love my TL

I was looking for an upscale car, and ACURA made one affordable to me. Only the navi system was extra (I passed on that. Could not have asked for anything more. Fun to drive, nothing goes wrong with it. Pluses, handling, power, radio, trunk size. Negatives, gas mileage

I purchased this car new in 99 and it is easily the best car I've ever had. I've replaced the battery once and the tires once and other than oil changes and tire rotations, that's all I've had to "fix" in seven years. Acceleration from slow or stop is outstanding; merging in heavy traffic is much easier than what I have experienced in other vehicles. It's only a four-speed so it really isn't very fuel-efficient. I consistently get under 20 mpg with mostly city driving.
Supprt and transmission

It is a good car. However, considering power train performance, Maxima can "make circles" around my TL. (Yes, I also have 95 Maxima.) Transmission is the "weakest link"... especially between first and second gear. Windshield glare is very bad (I have tan color dashboard). Put something black to prevent eye strain -- it works. Attention to customer problem doesn't exist. And this is not about my dealer (I think they were sincere) but Acura technical reps. After numerous phone calls, and even, an apparent, visit of the regional technical "specialist" my problem still exists -- intermittent (!!!) operation of the remote control. They just tired me out -- I gave up.

I have driven this car cross country 2- 3 times...it is so reliable! I drive now as a single over 60 woman. I now go to Pleasanton Auto for my service. There they usually ask me 'How long are you in town for now?' I reply, but I live here! The last out of state Acura serviceperson changed the oil & pronouced my car cleaner than most even in her large city. That was in Indiana...I now have some 84,000 miles on the same tires--still more tread.
