This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Near-luxury pricing with full-luxury equipment.
Cons:
  • Styling may be too conservative, and where are the side airbags?

  • im very impressed... - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    i had a 92 lexus es300 which i smashed up pretty bad in march of 2002. after the accident i was dead set on another later model es. i was so pro-lexus it was unbelievable. then i took out a 99tl, and i was immediately sold. i got a certified 99tl with 19k... w/5yr100k bumper to bumper warranty. dollar for dollar, the tl cant be touched by any other car in its class. i went from pro-lexus to acura-infatuated. the performance, styling, featuers, everything is almost perfect. great car for NYC (just watch out for the bastards that steal the headlights-very common in NYC). ive had the car for a month and i cant wait to trade it in for the type S w/navigation

  • Great value - 1999 Acura TL

    This is a great value. No other car can match the features of this one in this price range. A loaded Accord or Camry is almost the same price but doesnt match the luxury, BWM and Lexus are a lot more expensive.

  • Nicest driving car for just $30,000!! - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    Nice driving, not noisy, very dependable car!

  • Supprt and transmission - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    It is a good car. However, considering power train performance, Maxima can "make circles" around my TL. (Yes, I also have 95 Maxima.) Transmission is the "weakest link"... especially between first and second gear. Windshield glare is very bad (I have tan color dashboard). Put something black to prevent eye strain -- it works. Attention to customer problem doesnt exist. And this is not about my dealer (I think they were sincere) but Acura technical reps. After numerous phone calls, and even, an apparent, visit of the regional technical "specialist" my problem still exists -- intermittent (!!!) operation of the remote control. They just tired me out -- I gave up.

  • A Conservative Statement - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    The TL is perhaps the best car in class! I decided purchase mine only 9 months ago, and would recommend this car to anyone. I feel that it is by far the most luxurious vehicle for the money. Not only are you driving around in sheer luxury, but in one of the most reliable cars on the road. I purchased my first Acura (Integra) in 1998, and wont buy anything else! I refuse to drop money in vehicles other than maintance, and Acuras one of the only manufactures that can offer me that until 100,000 miles.

  • My Acura 3.2 TL - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    Been a wonderful car. have had nothing but Hondas and Acuras since 1892 and this is the best of them all with the possible exception of my 1992 Acura Legend. It has been in the garage for service, other than oil changes, exactly once. This month the odometer display failed and was replaced under warranty by our local dealer

  • Transmission the Worst - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    The transmission has always hesitated between first and second gear. I was told by the dealer that this was normal. At 74,000 miles the transmission went. I then found out that the extended insurance on the tranny was covered by AAMCO, not Acura. The California customer service division never followed up never floowed up with their supposed investigation. Honda can keep their luxury line. Im going to Lexus.

  • BMW Ride for $25K Less - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    I drove a company car (BMW 523i) before I purchased my own Acura TL. This car handles just like the BMW but for $25,000 less - and I can do a lot of things for that much money. After 2 1/2 years, I still love driving this car. I plan to keep it for the full 7 year, 100K warranty, and then go buy another Acura.

  • Best value for your money - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    This is really a great car! Ive owned mine for 3 years and Ive never had any trouble. I really liked the fact that all of the upgrades are standard. The TL is a great value compared to its competition.

  • Solid performer - 1999 Acura TL
    By -

    The Acura TL was simply the best value in its class. Solid performance, comfort and reliability across the board for much, much less than comparable luxury cars.
