Purchased this vehicle used (106K) to replace my aging 99 TL. Dealer told me that the timing belt had recently been changed. At 123K it failed and l had to replace the engine. Vehicle has been great ever since. Replaced shocks and struts last year and it drives like a new car. Giving the car to my son and replacing it with my 5th Acura. A 2016 RDX.

This car was my first Honda product after owning nothing but American built cars, I had very high hopes. At first I was very impressed with the Acura, I loved driving it, great for road trips, very powerful and sporty handling. But then I learned of the transmission problems. I felt like I was driving a ticking time bomb..........then mine needed replaced just like so many others. Count on spending about $5000 from Acura. This happened at 90K, then at 113K the engine started making internal ticking noises. Dealer recommended new engine. Really? Entire drive train replaced by 113K with a perfect maintenance record? Sold the car that day. So turned off by Honda now.
Best Acura

i priced and drove the TL-S, Accord V6, and BMW 325. this is the best for the money. it kills the accord in driving and quality and is way cheaper and faster than the 325. doesn't get any classier for $30k
great car

Take the car for a test drive. Try all of the others first. BMW,MB, Cadillac,etc. This car for the money ,is a secret that that will not last long. This fine automobile should put Honda on top of the near luxury market.
