Bought as a luxury family car -- turned out to be fun to drive. Love the interior layout and styling is a cut above the hum-drum of most.
Fun, reliable, convenient all in one!

I love my car! I had a 1999 CL and loved it but wanted more room and 4 doors. So, I ugraded to the TL. It's been fun to drive. I especially enjoy the sport-shift and the power in traffic or for fun. Of course the reliability and quality of Acura overall is the reason I bought the TL and I have not been disappointed. I would recommend Acura and the TL to anyone wanting a practical but fun vehicle with excellent service personel and locations for regular maintenance.

Our car is primarly driven by my wife. She loves it - in fact this is the first car we've owned that she truly loves. She always found fault with any of the other cars we've owned in 45 years of marriage. I rarely drive it except for long trips. It is a remarkable vehicle to drive on the highway.
Homage to a great car and a great performer

We purchased this vehicle in 2007 with 134,000 miles for $5500. As of this review 2022, we have 269,000 miles and climbing as this IS my wife's daily driver, she won't let me sell it. It is completely stock no mods at all. Looked amazing, drove like new and interior looked like new in 2007. All I can say is don't buy used cars if you don't budget for maintenance, or can't turn a wrench. The epa stuff, the moving parts, the fuel systems, brake systems all wear over time ( on every single vehicle not just this one) and will need attention. Cars require regular care, ie oil and trans fluid changes, timing belts, water pumps, brakes, struts, tires etc. Acuras are no different. Don't race or hammer the gas in this car (or any car) and it will give you years or even decades of service. This transmission in my car has never been changed to my knowledge so it is on 269,000 miles (135,000 since i've owned it), It will give the hard shift from time to time, but it has tale tale signs it's gonna happen and if it starts then we address it. We get the fluid swapped at the local Honda/Acura with the low pressure100% fluid swap (I personally do not flush). It generally smooths that out. As of today it still has a classic look, rides smooth, corners like a race car but interior leather front seats are showing wear, rear still looks very nice, outside has picked up the daily dings and such but not a bit of rust or any paint peel (use wax occassionally and passes through the wash and wax cycle from time to time) We drive this vehicle once or twice a year cross country on 1500mile oneway (3000mile round) trips, non-stop except for gas and food stops(yes bathroom too :0 ) We get 29 to 30miles to gallon still on hwy (less than 20 city), and this motor does not burn a bit of oil. Still very quiet and smooth on the road. Will be driving to Florida and back again in just a few weeks 3000+miles round trip and doing so without hesitation of using this car. If they would build this car again with an improved transmission design, this would be the ironman of all of the Acuras and would be darn near indestructible. I would buy it again used and save the depreciation though. LOL. I rarely do reviews, but at this 20year birthday of my Acura TL, it deserved the highest praise I can give it, I am still happy owning it.
Used is the way to go!

Reliable and dependable. I have never owned a better new or used car. 264,000 and it still runs and rides like a new car.
Affordable performance and reliability

Driving comfort is the key to this vehicles superiority. Enough power when you want to punch it. No fears when you need to tromp on the brakes. Great sound system. Well placed controls and good driving visibilty make long trips and multitasking safe and enjoyable.
