  • Minor Problems - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    Overall the 3.2TL has performed OK but I have some nagging problems that the dealer will not fix. The windows rattle when it is cold, the transmission clunks when it downshifts, the speedometer/odmeter reads 7% high (The dealer says that is within spec). So when it says you are going 75MPH you are actually only going 70MPH and the gas mileage is only fair (20MPG overall). The other problem is the heater, it gets hotter and hotter in the car even when it is set on 65.

  • Honda/Acura has another winner - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    After 3 Honda Accords, I moved up to an Acura TL. I loved my Hondas (I gave my last one - a 1997 - to my daughter, who still drives it, and has no visits to the repair shop), but the Acura is even better. Smoother ride, great performance, great handling (though the Honda was superb as well). I also like the understated styling, and the fact that everything comes standard. Im sure I will get another one when the lease ends this summer. If I had any item that was less than perfect, it is the brakes, which seem to sag a little on occasion.

  • Nice Car - 2000 Acura TL

    One of the best cars I drove in this category. The steering and drive is smooth.

  • Awesome car! - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    This is my 5th Acura, and they have all been bulletproof. My car has 62,000 miles on it and it has been just awesome. Great performance and luxury all combined into one great package. The car has been bulletproof no transmission problems as I have read. The car still feels as tight as a drum there are no squeaks and rattles. The engine is simply sensational awesome power all across the rev range. Whats more, I took the car from NY to Fl and got 32.5 MPG. Unbelieveable car! My lease is up in April, and I will be purchasing either a new TL Type S or the all new TSX. Acuras are awesome cars my son just got a new RSX and it has been similarly awesome.

  • Great car - but not too comfortable - 2000 Acura TL
    By -

    OVERALL: nice car, GREAT value. NEGATIVES: Im tall & have a bad back, & its tough for me to get comfortable. Not much room in back, especially for adults. Stereo (BOSE = std) sounds great, but has limited features. POSITIVES: Navigation system (not std.) is easy to use & has lots of features. Steering wheel stereo controls = nice touch. Dashboard controls are well- placed and easy to read. Heated front seats activate quickly & work well. Engine is very powerful, & provides a very nice, smooth ride. Head lights are outstanding cant see why Id ever need high beams.

  • Excellent car for the money - 2000 Acura TL

    Excellent car, lot of power. Handles well, The seat is not comfortable. The roof is too low. I have no problem at all for the last three years. Transmission is just fine, I thought people drive too hard if they have transmission problem.

    This car has been a huge disappointment. At 1,000 miles my dealer replaced the radiator and at 35,000 miles the entire oil pump and seal assembly was replaced. I dont know if my dealer is trying to rip off Acura or if the vehicles reliability is really that bad.
