Horrible Car

All about Acura is total hype. Terrible car inside & out; Seat is hard on back during trips. Just found out about transmission recall when it malfunctioned. Acura didn't contact me (I'm at same address as when purchased); found out by researching NHTSA when tranny broke. NHTSA says this car (& other Acura models 2001 - 2003) may lock up & result in a crash. Experience w/Acura has been a rude awakening. Service in past has also been sub-standard. No more Acuras or Hondas for me. Worst performance of a new vehicle ever. No wonder it is priced well below competition -- it can't compete in its class.

Okay, Honda/Acura has to pay people to put this stuff on here. I HATE THIS CAR and everyone that owns one hates it too. I have found one guy that loves his TL (he had a saturn before). Other than that, its so saddening to see the overall moral of this car is at the dealer. Transmission problem that Acura will not take responsibility for, squeaks beyond imagination, sunroof leaks, bad brakes, Hissing in the AC which is so loud the music will not cover up. OH, its horrible. I dont know how anyone would like this car. I have been a loyal honda owner all my life. I have had nothing but honda. Never again, this is the worst car ever!

The 03' type S is like no other car. Comfort, Speed and handling is the cars strong points. I have to say the speed is the most excited thing about this car. 0-60 in the low 6's, is fast. I also love the sports shift. I recommend this car to my brother and he bought one. Test drive one and you will own it.

Great car for the money and I got it for 2,000 off sticker. Much better deal than the 300M Special i was considering. Cheaper and has navigation which chrysler doesnt even offer. Plus you get Japanese reliability compared to American junk!
