Overview & Reviews

The TL has been redesigned for 1999, with everything just getting better. The 2.5-liter engine is gone, making way for an all-new 3.2-liter V6. The transmission has been refined, the interior design makes better use of space, and the exterior is updated.

• Near-luxury pricing with full-luxury equipment.

• Styling may be too conservative, and where are the side airbags?

  Acura 3.2 TL Excellent Value - 1999 Acura TL
  By mark b - August 30 - 2:44 pm

  This model was the first year for the redesigned TL - in which Acura enhanced the look and features of the car, while making the price even more attractive. The net result has been a car that is highly reliable, attractive and an excellent value over time. Although this model is a little more plain vanilla than the latest generation TL it is still a pleasure to drive and own.

  Great Workhorse with Looks - 1999 Acura TL
  By Kentrosi - August 21 - 7:53 pm

  This is my 4th Acura. I am trading it in next week for an 03 TL-S. It has 152,000 of some very hard-driven mileage. I have done nothing but change the oil and replaced the timing belt at 100k. This car is extremely dependable and great looking. I drive 35-45k miles a year and do not have time to deal with the annoying prblems that plague so many other makes. I am sticking with Acura.

  Seven years and counting - 1999 Acura TL
  By pmi - July 21 - 10:02 am

  I purchased this car new in 99 and it is easily the best car Ive ever had. Ive replaced the battery once and the tires once and other than oil changes and tire rotations, thats all Ive had to "fix" in seven years. Acceleration from slow or stop is outstanding merging in heavy traffic is much easier than what I have experienced in other vehicles. Its only a four-speed so it really isnt very fuel-efficient. I consistently get under 20 mpg with mostly city driving.

  Built with quality - 1999 Acura TL
  By Carputz - June 24 - 9:52 am

  Bought this car with only 30,500 miles on it and 7 years old. Cost less than a comparable milage Accord. What a value. Rides and handles like a dream, nice power. Never thought I would own a car like this. A luxury car with Honda depenability and serviceability. Check engine light came on after having it a month. Acura took care of it under a warranty memo they had for the problem. Expect to have this one for a long time. 7 year old car makes any newer car I have owned look bad.

  In love w/ my TL - 1999 Acura TL
  By Crane - May 16 - 7:48 pm

  Unquestionably the best car Ive ever owned (Ive had over 25 including company cars). I have over 180,000 miles with only expected maintenance. Still cruises effortlessly at 80 mph, is quiet and solid. Will probably spend more than I should to keep it since I love it so much (leather seats need repair, lots of dings and nicks from high-speed driving).

  1999 Acura 3.2TL - 1999 Acura TL
  By Augusta Richards - April 10 - 8:50 am

  I bought this car new. This car has been wonderfully reliable. I have never had it in service for a mechanical problem. As a female driver, this is very important to me. I use premium gas as recommended but with todays prices, I am going to try mid- grade again although I tried that once and noticed a negative difference. My mileage in the city is about 20 and on the highway 27-28. I feel very safe in this car and have learned to appreciate the styling although after having an Infiniti J30, I thought this car could use more pizazz in the exterior styling. What can I say - I love this car.

  This is great car! I bought it at 2 years old with 9000 miles for 23k, sold it at 7 years wit 115k for 6k. I put 106000 miles on it in 5 years. It still drives like new. All interior features are working great. The service during warranty was outstanding. This is great expirience and very low price

  By captain - January 8 - 11:39 pm

  Maintenance and repair expence during 7 years and 143000 miles has been very low. A new transmision at 93,000 mi. was replaced by Acura at no cost. They even provided a new TL to drive while mine was in the shop. My total expense for maintenance(incl oil changes), tires, batteries and repairs is less than $1600, including a new starter at 142000 mi. It still runs and handles like new. (I dont follow scheduled maintenance). Never tuned up, but do change oil and filter every 7500 mi. I still have the original plugs. Gets 26- 31 mi/ga I use only regular. I think it runs better on regular. Ive recently towed this car with 4 wheels on ground behind my motorhome over 6000 mi without any problems.

  Great car, great value, fun to mod - 1999 Acura TL
  By Shaun - November 25 - 12:45 pm

  I have had my DEG (dark emerald green) TL for 2 and a half years and have had no problem with it at all. 117k and still on original tranny and runs better than new. I have upgrades many engine components to pull some great performance (faster than a Type S) out of this car w/o effecting its reliability and actually increasing overall gas mileage from 25 to 28 now. Interior is great, make sure you strip the paint off your shiftknob, it is chrome underneath you know (99 TL only). Exterior is very sexy and elegant, I think it stands out when detailed properly. Stock stereo isnt the greatest, I dont like Bose at all. Low maintenance vehicle and easy to work on yourself. Rotors lasted 100k+.

  Just Keeps Going - 1999 Acura TL
  By lsmac - October 25 - 2:02 pm

  Bought this car new. It now has 197,000 miles. 28mpg all the time. Have stuck to the manual for maintenance. Some dash lights dont work and door lock relay needs replacing. Only non-maintenance item was to clean the EGR valve at 80k. I do this myself now. Takes two hours. Engine has never been opened. Ditch the Michelin Tires. Get Toyo Proxes TPT for less than $500 and last 50k.
