Used 2004 Acura TL Consumer Reviews
Outstanding
This is a great car with a good blend of fun and practical. I just can't believe that the TSX beats it in these Consumer ratings! My 2004 TL beats every TSX I've been in (including 2008) in every way except one: the exterior styling on the TSX is way better. The TL needs cosmetic surgery, but it's a fantastic ride.
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.
Top Quality and Performance for the $$
I test drove the '04 Altima, Maxima, G- 35 , and the TL .. and fell in love with the latter. The G-35 is a spirited performer, but the interior feels a tad too snug, and the controls are a little balky compared to the Acura. The shift action is not as smooth, the clutch pedal is stiffer, and it has noticeably more vibration than the TL. The Acura is whisper quiet and butter smooth in everything it does. It has a level of quality and refinement I didn't find in the other three cars. The surround sound system is fabulous; all other factory systems I've heard pale in comparison ... or should I say muffle in comparison. :o)
Awesome Car
Best bang for the buck!!!

The car is a definite advance over the previous TL, which I also owned and found to be a very good car. This car is much more powerful, handles better, and comes with just about everything. Economically, it actually seems to get better mileage on the open road. I took it on an extended trip and got 29mph.The navigation system is very good, though the voice commands need work. Acura should sell a lot of these vehicles as the pricing is very fair given the features and the styling is quite good. Overall a great value.
