Used 2004 Acura TL Consumer Reviews
A DREAM MACHINE! HAS IT ALL!
FANTASTIC SPORT SEDAN WITH LOTS OF LEG AND HEADROOM AND COMFORT . 04 BODY STYLE IS GREAT. SEATS ARE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE AND CONTOURED. I FEEL AT HOME THE MOMENT THAT I GET IN.THE DASH AND BLUE BACKLIGHT INSTUMENTATION PANEL IS A "WOW" ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE SOUND SYSTEM AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM ARE SUPERB. THE NAV SCREEN IS 8 INCHES AND ITS EASY TO USE AFTER 1 HOUR OF PRACTICE. THE RIDE IS SMOOTH AND QUIET AT 80 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. HANDELING IS PINPOINT AND THE EXTRA BRIGHT XENON HEADLIGHTS MAKE NIGHT VISION EASY. PLEASANT SURPRISES WERE THE AMOUNT OF POWER THAT THE 270 HORSEPOWER ENGINE PRODUCES AND HOW EFFORTLESS THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS.
front wheel shake
Great car. Handling first class but could do with a rear wheel drive instead. Very dissapointed with the vibration coming from the front at about 50 to 55 mph.Is this harmonics from the engine?Styling first rate but quality of assembly suspect. Do they have quality control?
My TL
30+ cars later and 3rd Acura. I forgot how great these cars are. It's a great compromise of wanting a BMW with reliability and a more reasonable price. I picked up my TL with 59K miles for under $15K. Handles very well. Plenty of power for quicker takeoffs. Comfortable, luxurious, and overall fun to drive compared to my last car (Accord, yeah I know, but it was a bargain). When it's time to change again, I think I will stick with TLs.
Having Fun
I am so excited to be one of the first to own this vehicle. Everything from the power to the standard features Rock.
bmw-audi competitor
i test drove the audi a4,bmw 330 and then the acura tl.audi a4 quatrro is very sluggishwith loose steering. bmw had slightly better cornering ablilty than acura tl with less body lean.bmw engine and acura's were both impressive but bmw is 10k more.overall acura interior much better than bmw,audi. and a much better value this car will scare the hell out of the germans, i highly recommend it
