I feel safe and I love the way my cars rides.
I like great customer service and I dislike when people are just mean for no reason.

Would consider buying another Acura without hesitation
We love our Acura. The only problem we have had is replacing the transmission. But, that was done at the age of 16 years. Other than that, we have experienced no problems. We change the oil every 3,000 miles and have it oiled and greased regularly. We have gone on several trips with no problems. Smooth riding.

It's very Dependable and won't break down while driving.
Like the way it drives, hugs the road. It's dependable & looks a little sporty. The I interior is holding up despite Its age. Downside is it's expensive to replace headlights Gas mileage could be better.

Electrical issues may occur.
I have put more money into it lately. Tie rods, cv axle, brakes & rotors. Some undefined engine issues. Not enough power in it. I am blessed to at least have a vehicle.

Blue-ish grey with the same interior color. Luxury model. Has seat heaters and back seat air conditioning. Seats withstand two crazy dogs running around on car trips.
While she's old she is reliable. No breakdowns ever. Very comfortable leather seats with Seat heaters that are life savers in the winter. Her headlights get an odd film over them but it doesn't affect performance just look. We've been driving her for 18 years and she gets great gas mileage and only needs the regular repairs and oil changes. Highly recommend Acura

One most important thing others should know about my car is that it is very reliable.
I have had my vehicle for over 4 years. I purchased it used and it only had two previous owners. It gives me great gas mileage and is extraordinarily reliable.

Beautiful and spacious and reliable.
Check engine light is on. There is no power steering pump. It overheats just going up the road. But the car itself is great! The exterior is beautiful! The interior is super clean and amazing! It's no the biggest inside but it it's everything I need.
accountCircle Ana M
Acura/Honda is a rip off.
The dealership overcharged me by double what the car was worth. The transmission is going out. It's 18 years old and nothing has been replaced on it. It only takes premium gasoline. The only positive about the car is that it's infinitely more comfortable than the other car that I have access to.

The car is great on gas and also has low miles on the car as well.
I love the make of the car and how the car drives in gear.
accountCircle Steven B
It can shift from auto to manual.
This vehicle is very comfortable and has a very nice sound system. The car runs very smooth and if taken care of can last a very long time. Mine has 166k miles and other than a few things I had to fix due to reasons, the car is still running great. I highly suggest.

Formerly reliable Acura now a problem.
I bought my car used, I am the third owner. It has been a pretty reliable car until now. It now has oil leaks from the engine and the power steering is leaking also. Cosmetically it is not pretty. The paint started peeling off over five years ago. It had a transmission recall a number of years ago.
accountCircle Jake J
An interesting highlight is that it is a v6 engine which has some horsepower.
My car runs like a champ. I rated at a three because of how old the car is and how many miles on it. Because it is so old, in needs repairs that are pretty common. The seats are nice and leather. Power windows with a sunroof which is great for the summer time. It has a decent sized trunk which is convenient for holding all of my car tools and such.

2000 Acura tl, a golden oldie.
Considering that my car is 18 years old, I am very pleased with its performance. We have had few repairs and it is reliable and comfortable. My favorite features are the heated seats and the back seat air vents. It gets pretty good gas mileage too for an old car, too, about 25 mpg.

Great engine, great perks, can last a while in right conditions.
The 3. 2 liter engine is great, has a lot of power behind it. And if it not for me living up north where there are constantly salt trucks laying down salt due to ice on the roads, causing the bottom to rust, the workings of the car would go on and on and on. The interior is fantastic, have a great Bose stereo system installed and the speakers sound amazing. As long as you have a Bluetooth radio that can connect to the radio you can play your own music too. Right now though I am looking for a new car though due to the body rusting away, but I am actually considering stripping it for parts, because while the body is in bad shape, the individual parts are in as good of shape a they were when I first bought it four years ago. I would highly recommend this car or something similar to someone else.

Reliable, dependable vehicle.
The 2000 Acura tl is a very reliable, well built car. Even though it is 18 years old, it still gets very good gas mileage and we have had to have very few repairs. It is economical to repair as well. It is comfortable to drive and handles well on the road.
