Overview & Reviews
A new five-speed sequential SportShift automatic transmission and free-flowing intake manifold debut. A side-airbag system becomes standard as does a dual-stage inflator for the front-passenger airbag. The optional navigation system now features a DVD database.
- Excellent value, comfortable front seats, powerful and efficient engine, SportShift transmission is fun to use.
- Cheap interior bits, cramped rear seat room, excessive body roll in turns.

It wont let me by a new car! - 2000 Acura TL
By playday rider - October 5 - 7:03 pm8 years ago it was time to get serious and buy a car I was going to keep for the next 8 years. Of course, we all say that, but how many of us keep a car that long. This car is the exception, not the rule. I love this car, always have. It drives as smooth and as quiet, and as much power and is as comfortable as when it was new, perhaps even more so. Well designed, perfect size and weight, plenty of power. I didnt get the nav system, but I hear the older ones arent really that great anyway and they were overpriced. So today, it probably would be worthless. Ill probably keep this car another 8 years or until I get tired of it. Only drawback is it calls for premium - but runs good on plus.

2000 TL - 2000 Acura TL
By jwd - March 19 - 12:40 pmBought it used in 2004. It only had 25,000 miles. Runs great, rides great, looks great. Not a fan of having to use premium gas but it has delivered performance and reasonable gas mileage. Wouldnt hesitate to hop in and take off on a 3000 mile road trip.

Worth Every Penny - 2000 Acura TL
By KingGeorge - September 10 - 1:26 pmAugust 31, 2007 marked the 7th anniversary for my ownership of this solid machine. Bose sound system is unsurpassed. Smooth ride, far more superior than the 2005 330BMW xi. Paramount level of precise engineering when it comes to areodynamics...the car basicall hugs the road. I only replaced tires once, battery once, transmission fluid once, brake fluid once, and periodic oil change. Thats it. Make sure to read the owners manual and not to go about replacing stuff that are not listed.

A decent automobile - 2000 Acura TL
By Nutmegger22 - July 17 - 6:32 pmOur 2000 Dark Emerald Pearl TL was purchased used in 2003 with 50,000 miles. With now over 131,000 miles, the car has been very satisfactory on its journeys all across New England. Reliability has been good. A malfunctioning power seat back on the drivers side and dismal seat heating have been the only issues thus far. The trim is starting to separate from the handle on the inside of the rear doors and the Xenon headlights are not as bright as when we first got the car - normal wear and tear. Luckily, weve had no issues with the transmission (knock on wood). My sons 96 Maxima seems to have better pick up but the TL is sufficient for most.

Excellent travel car - 2000 Acura TL
By papnjoan - April 1 - 8:03 amThis car has provided us with excellent service and comfortability especially on trips. The Mrs. says it is the finest riding car she has ever owned. Both husband and wife enjoy driving the vehicle. The car seems to hold its beauty in design and when taken care of continually looks as if it is a brand new car. Our satisfaction is so great that we would now not consider another make car.

Awesome, Awesome Car!! - 2000 Acura TL
By chicagodesi - March 13 - 10:44 amI just purchased this car almost 2 weeks ago and I could not be happier. Its got black on black, chrome wheels and spoiler, and upgraded wood trim. I love the roominess and the performance is more than wonderful. I love how quiet and solidly built the car is and I have not experienced any of the transmission issues that seem to have plagued these cars. I got a 4 year/48000 mile extended warranty so that does give me plenty of peace of mind with the car. I love how it handles and the looks still get plenty of rave reviews.

I LOVE this car!!!!!! - 2000 Acura TL
By Gfaze - January 31 - 2:14 amI bought this car in October of 2006 after literally years of research. Every time I weighed the choices, the TL always came out on top! The sportshift works great, no transmission issues (knock on wood) and no complaints. Bought it in flawless, mint condition from a local, reliable used car dealer. Its fun to drive, looks sweet (silver), and performs like a champ. I bought it to replace my aging but reliable, 94 Ford Thunderbird LX (V8). It had a lot of overdue maintenance needs and a dying transmission which would have cost more than it was worth. I still miss that 4.6L V8 roar though.

BEST CAR EVER!! - 2000 Acura TL
By Liam - December 19 - 5:43 amMy mom bought this Acura in December 1999. Drove it until my sister was 17. And it lasted 17 YEARS!! We had to trade it in this year because of a cylinder misfire. If that didnt happen I would of driven it. The thing I loved about it is the speaker quality. It was AMAZING. I would blast Kanye west and feel the subwoofer vibrate in my seat. I LOVED IT!!!!!

Beauty and Peace of Mind - 2000 Acura TL
By Green Dragon - November 21 - 2:02 pmBought her brand new and named her "Perfect". She is. No mechanical issues. Maneuvering capabilities are unsurpassed for the class. Enough horse power (225) for the local and highways. Sufficient acceleration power to merge traffic. Xenon lights are long lasting.

Transmission woes - 2000 Acura TL
By tam-o-shanter12 - May 13 - 3:07 pmThis is my second Acura. I bought it after having a great experience with my older Legend which currently has over 340,000 miles on it with minimal problems. Overall the TL is really great but the problems with the transmission make it overwhelming disappointing. I had the first trans replaced at 100,000 miles and before the original recall (I dont drive the car hard or use the sport shift) and this new transmission only has 73,000 miles and is failing. Of course, Acura refuses to replace the second transmission, which is no different than the original that was in the car. Sorry, but I will never buy an Acura again.
