Prob the worst rattling cars I have ever owned. Very poor interior quality. Steering wheel rattles,headliner falls down, glove box fell out twice. The car is basically held together with double sided tape. Even the dealer admits to all of the build issues. Very dissappointed in a 35$k car. Needless to say my car is for sale with 4000 miles on it. If you are looking to buy a new TL, wait till 05 if at all.
A so-so product in a competitive segment

2004 Acura TL 3.2 4dr Sedan w/Summer Tires (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

I traded in a 2000 BMW 330i coupe as I need a 4-door sedan. My original draw to the TL is the impacable specs(HP, torque, tires, fuel consumptions, etc), and the cool exterior. The car drives pretty good, better than most other Japanese cars(except the G35), but what kills this car for me is the excessive oversteer, probably due to the front wheel drive. The notchy gas pedal response doesn't help either. The suspension also cannot be really rated as sporty. The car starts to float at 80mph, and the steering response is really unsure during moderately-spirited manuvers.
Oh Those Bridgestone Tires

The harsh ride is partly the fault of the poor Bridgestone OEM tires. Acura Client Services reports to me that they are being buried with calls from Acura owners about these tires. The 2005 TL with NAV comes now with Michelin's, but Acura has refused to allow its dealers to swap them out. They report Honda will have to make a policy decision before the dealers can replace them.
Over-rated to be sure!

After a year and a half of disappointment and multiple trips to the service department, I finally gave up and sold it. Never before have I been so disappointed with an automobile. It promised so-ohhh much and fell so-ohhh far short. Many of the features were great (sound system is Wow), but the daily "Driving Experience" was miserable. Stumbling and hesitation in around-town driving was awful. The service department basically blew me off and did nothing. I found a nice little 5 series Bimmer to replace it. Love it!! What a costly mistake... oh well. We live and learn. dmm
Would buy it again!

I've owned my 04 TL automatic with Navi since April 04 and I have to say that I love this car. Reliable, great ride, fun to drive, good gas mileage (up to 30 mpg when just freeway driving) and lots of goodies like heated seats, xenon headlights and great sound system are all standard. Acura quality and performance.
