Sleeper 4 Door Near Luxury Performance Sedan
2004 is an older car now, but it has been great to own for the last 14 years. The technology was near top of the line at the time, and now a bit behind new cars. This would be a great car for a new driver, or just someone who wants reliable transportation with a enough "sport" to be fun to drive.

2004 Dynamic
I bought my TL new in early 2005 and it has been dealer serviced with 110,000 kms at the moment. I have had nothing to service of significance except a new battery and a front brake job. I have regularly treated the leather and it still looks like new. The best tires I have found for the vehicle are Continental Extreme Contacts. Unfortunately my in-dash cd player stopped working last year and I had Future Shop connect an ipod cable to the system for running my music in the car on trips. I have had 4 acuras in my family (2 TLs and 2 Integras) and they have all been trouble free. They are indeed well designed and well built vehicles.
2004 6-speed manual
Overall great car. Outside explains itself from the pictures. Interior leather seats fit me well, smudges and dirt wipe away with ease (treat the leather every half year, Armor All leather gel). Only preventative maintenance done, I checked tire pressure, liquid levels, and cleaned outside and inside weekly. Never found a problem leaking liquids or tire pressure. Take care of your car and she'll take care of you. I drive in West Virginia mountains and around DC. Could accelerate easily at 80+mph on uphill mountains without mashing petal. Fun to drive on backroads. MPG is around the stated 20/30 expected, if you're not racing (I don't drive grandma style either) No surprises from the car
No need for aspirin
Purchased with 30K on the clock and at 81K today. All I've had to do to this car is put gas in it, change the oil, and put a new set of tires on (replaced crappy and fast wearing factory rubber). Solid vehicle all around.
I HATE.....
...looking at my 2004 TL. I hate looking at it because I've put 240,000 miles on it and I've owned it for 14 years. In short, it's a great car in almost avery respect and a very good balance between sporty performance, luxury and comfort. I've driven my car everywhere on the West Coast and am finally contemplating buying another car. Since it has almost no resale value, I will probably give the car to my young son. The car drives as it if were new, too. There is no apparent diminution of performance. Honda built a gem in this automobile.
