  • Worth Every PENNY - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    This car was a dream come true. I traveled in this car and the car seemed to be like riding on air

  • nice suprise - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    I had a 1995 BMW 740IL when I bought this in 2000... so I thought it would be a big adjustment... I was very pleasantly suprised by the TL. Nice drive !

  • nice car .. too bad Acura service stinks - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    Great car, good milage. I will not buy another one because the service stinks. 3k-30k miles, seat belt light goes on (I had a new born so took this seriously). Took 4 dealer trips to get this fixed. 17k front strut goes. Took 2 trips to get it fixed. 55k, need new rear brakes .. they have to schedule me to come back. Meanwhile Acura policy is no loaner car for less than 3 hour waits so I get to reshuffle my schedule. I just cant handle the dealer run-around. Also, too many small problems with a young "quality" car. My 1989 Legend appears to have been built with better quality than these new things.

  • Warranty Coverage Helps!!! - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    The car is fun to drive and has a powerful engine. I have had some warranty work. 1. Transmission did not shift from 3rd to 4th smoothly. The dealership recommended I change the fluid every 30,000 miles. 2. The temp indicator had to be replace. 3. The Drivers seat back popped and creaked. The Drivers leather seat bottom cracked. Buy this car but make sure it has warranty left on it. Youll have to work out the bugs.

  • A good choice..... - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    I have always wanted to break into the near luxury market and the Acura seemed like the best bang for my buck......but now having driven the car for 2 years, I cant see myself in any other vehicle. Aside from the value, the design, performance and brand recognition make this the only luxury car I would ever consider driving......

  • Best car Ive ever owned! - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    Ive had this 2000 TL for 3 years now, and it is hands down the best car Ive ever owned! I put > 20k miles/year and have had NO problems whatsoever with this vehicle. Its not that thrilling of a car, and its not as comfortable as a Deville, but it does handle well, is responsive, has a great stereo, comfortable seats and HVAC system, and most importantly, starts when you put the key in the ignition! (I cant say that about the 3 series BMW Ive had, nor the Mercedes!). I recommend this car highly.

  • A great appliance - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    Living in Montreal, the toughest place on earth for a car, this car is solid as a rock. Starts at-30 without a fuss. Returns reasonably good fuel economy, even at extralegal speeds. Handling was lousy, but HR springs lowered the car and improved high speed and cornering stability. Transmission could shift faster, specially in manual mode. Just a nice car to drive, no suprises, no excitement. Cd player does not play burned CDs, max volume not loud enough.

  • Acura 3.2TL - a descent sedan - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    A competent sedan with good performance and luxury for the price. That said, a bit boring looking and handling a bit soft. No major mechanical problems but ongoing problems with the airbag warnings have continued since new. If you can afford better, go for it. Youll be bored with this car and wish you went for better.

  • Fast but not reliable - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    Purchased as a Acura certified used car 2 weeks ago with 36k miles. Car is in repair shop for a new tranmission already. What exactly did Acura certify? Certainly not the mechanical operation!

  • good exp with this car - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    Other than one minor problem with the Sunroof this has been a great car. Also it held value well. Transmission is a little sluggish as it as aged.
