Positive Review
This car is a prime example of a quality vehicle, built to last and provide a safe and comfortable ride (at any speed.) With only a couple of small parking lot dents and trim that has started to age, my car (at 15 years old and 235,000 miles) looks almost new and has NO Rust (lived its life in OH and MI.) Excellent power from a V6 engine and still gets 30 mpg open road (at a steady 2000 rpm's) and 25 mpg in town driving. In my opinion Acura has not made a better looking, more comfortable riding or more sure-footed car since this body style. Notice how many you still see on the road? Owners don't get rid of them - unless they pass them on to one of their children.

HAVE ENJOYED THE CAR, BUT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPARIED AND DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR IS WORTH ANY MORE REPAIRS.

We have had a new car almost every year or so until the 2001 Acura came out and I feel in love with it I still have it and it still looks like new because its garage kept. I keep getting offers for it when I'm out and about. I payed about 32, 000 back then and worth it.
They simply won’t leave you stranded. Very reliable. It’s not too fancy either, they fit in anywhere and design wise they pass the test of time. No complaints

Comfortable and dependable. Looks good even after 22 years! Maintainence reasonable and timely helps keep value.
Needs better locking system for security Also would be nice to have all ecms compatible no matter what
Reliable, comfortable, stylish, and fun to drive.
Bad clear coat, auto. trans. known to be weak.
I love this car! I’ve been everywhere in it. It hasn’t given me a bit of trouble. Just can’t say enough of how much I enjoy this car. When my wife was alive, she was very happy with it, as well. If I ever get a newer car, I would like to get another Acura TL. That should tell you something.
Fun to drive

Great engine, comfortable ride, deep trunk
Transmission
The engine is great, bullet proof and powerful for this sedan, probably the best engine I have ever owned. The car rides super smooth, there is plenty of room and is very comfortable for both the front and back seats, the trunk is surprisingly generous. I have had minimal maintenance on it and I am pleased I purchased it 15 years ago. The con? The transmission sucks, bad year and enough of a problem that I will never buy another Acura again, mostly because Acura put out an ineffective recall before the transmission went and then took zero responsibility for it at 92,000 miles, 90K was the warranty, when it failed. I had to have it rebuilt twice, the second time was within AAMCO's warranty, so I got a break on the bill. Think you might want to buy one, check to see if the transmission was rebuilt before you do. If yes, you like the car.
