Used 2001 Acura TL Consumer Reviews
Transmission Problems
I loved my T.L. up until last month. The transmission would not shift into 4th or 5th gear. I took it to the dealer for transmission replacement. When I picked it up, three weeks later, there was still a problem with it. Mechanics cannot seem to find the problem. Still not shifting properly and making an odd noise. Also windshield and wipers not good. Very dissappointed since I felt Acura was a very reliable car. A
2001 Acurat TL is a 10!!!
It's the best ride ever!!! It's amazing and FUN TO DRIVE!!! YEs, it's a big car, too, with plenty of room for five and gear. The styling is luxurious and I get LOTS of compliments. Simply the best ride on the road for under $30,000.
Safety Specs
Had a high speed accident driving at 72 mph on cruise control, when a large SUV crossed the highway. No time to hit brake or turn steering wheel. On impact the air bags deployed, the seat belts held, the engine crushed and dropped. The interior and exterior of the car from the front doors back were not damaged. I was the driver and walked from the accident, although hurting, and my wife in the passenger seat sustained multiple broken bone injuries, but not critical. I will buy another one soon.
Great Value
The TL is a very reliable vehicle. It offers loads of standard options which were unavailable on my Lexus 300 EX. Heated seats, garage remote control, and steering wheel radio controls are but a few of these features. Mileage averages 25-27 on the highway. The ride is a bit noisey-a combination of wind noise and rattle. The Lexus was a softer, more comfortable ride. All in all, a great car for the money.
GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY
I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL LUXURY CAR AND THIS CAR FILLS THE BILL. IT IS EVERY BIT THE CAR THAT THE LEXUS ES350 IS AND $6000 LESS.THE AUTO SHIFT IS GREAT FUN AND THE GPS IS BOTH HELPFUL AND A NICE TOUCH FOR TRAVELING AND WORK. YOU NEVER GET LOST AND FUN AND EASY TO USE.
