Purchased new and currently has about 50,000 miles on it. While this S-type is fun to drive, continues to get good gas mileage, and looks good, I remain disappointed in the many little things that do not now and rarely have ever worked right (garage door opener; auto-dim rear view mirror). Have frequently had total battery failure that, in turn, makes it impossible to even open the trunk. Repairs and maintenance are expensive as compared to my Honda.
Love my Acura TL Type-S

My only complaint is that the car requires premium gasoline.

I bought my 2003 Acura TL in April of 2002, and it is still a great car. The biggest misconception is that you have to use premium gas. I have been using 87 octane since 2006 without any problems whatsoever. My biggest criteria for a car are reliability, comfort and acceleration, and my TL meets all three. Reliability? 15 years speaks for itself. Comfort? Leather seats and lumbar support are good for many hours. Acceleration? I don't need a Porsche, but when you stomp on the accelerator, even without the manual setting, you are pushed way back in your seat. Last thing: Acura dramatically changed the design of the TL (to a seriously butt-ugly version, imho) for their 2004's, yet I still see a ton of the 2003's (and earlier) TL's on the road, going strong, driven proudly by their owners.
OK, but....

This is my third acura, a vigor, 1999 3.2 TL and the 2003 3.2 TL. All in all, a good value, but far from perfect. Brakes and brake rotors have been an issue, from the 1999 to the one I have now. Suspension is a little soft and if you push the car around a corner, you can feel it. Then there are the tranny problems, legend for TL owners. Compared to whats out there in the price range, the TL, especially the new one is a good choice, but, the bloom is off the rose for me in some areas. My lease is up in about 6 months and I will explore all options. The fit and finish on the Acura is still far above that of the Maxima.
Great Car

Best car I have owned. I like the look better than the re-designed 2004 models.
