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?

  Not what I expected - 1999 Acura TL
  By Ric - October 24 - 11:52 am

  My first Acura and possibly my last. Performance with the four speed is reasonable but nothing great. Gas milage only so-so. Interior design is certainly above average. Nice car to sit in for the most part. Seats showing wear earlier than suspected. Tranny had to be replaced at about 50000mi. Left me stranded on a hwy. Now having trouble starting the car when it has been raining for afew days. Dealer cant seem to find the reason. Overall I am disappointed. Have had better experiences with a Maxima in the past. Not much better than my old Taurus SHO and that is not saying much!

  Worth the resale value - 1999 Acura TL
  By jgenitile - April 20 - 6:18 pm

  We bought our TL through eBay and have not had one problem with it. That is once we put cross drilled disc breaks on it. I am looking forward to purchasing another.

  nightmare - 1999 Acura TL
  By Alex - March 20 - 9:43 pm

  Transmission goes every 55k miles and Honda wants nothing to do with me. Theelectrical is a nightmare, the ballastshave gone out twice. The whole car is now creaky and rattley and the seats wiggle around if you move in them. Not impressed. I will never buy another Acura.

  Never Got Lost Drove Like a Dream - 1999 Acura TL
  By JJC - February 15 - 5:29 pm

  Best car for the money, bar none. GPS navigation system works like a charm .... you cant get lost. Speed shift gives the control and acceleration of manual shifting, without a clutch. 225 hp engine packs enough punch, and still gets 25-27 mpg highway, and 20+ mpg city. Leather heated power seats are cozy. Only drawback is its modest exterior .... but even that is a blessing in disguise, as I never really worry about it getting stolen or vandalized.

  The Ride is Terrible - 1999 Acura TL
  By JG - January 18 - 12:46 am

  Sold an 04 Accord Lx and purchased a 99 Acura TL with 69,000 miles. The Acura ride is not as smooth as the Accord ride. I am attempting to re-purchase the 04 Accord.

  after 175,000 miles - 1999 Acura TL
  By John J - December 20 - 4:09 pm

  After 175,000 miles there have been some problems:- Auto dim review mirror died early on.- EGR system cost $300 to fix a valve that was later redesigned- Plenty of rattles behind dash & sunroof.- Nav computer needs further refinements.- HID light died. Major $$$ to fix- Alarm system goes off often when starting.On the plus side,- The car has not yet left me on the side of the road. Original sparkplugs and timing belt.

  So so - 1999 Acura TL
  By Igor O - October 11 - 2:00 am

  Not the greatest car. For 30 grand should be much better. Good handling, average acceleration (not a Maxima) Brakes tend to warp, giving pulsations, when slow down. You can feel all the road bumps and exterior noise (compare with Lexus and you can see the difference). Bose system need improvement (cant play recorded and some times new CDs, I have better sound from my Altima and Camry). Why Acura put pieces of vinyl into a leather seats. I am not a heavy guy 160 lb, but vinyl already cracked. And lately strange sound coming from suspension and Acura could not figure it out.
