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.

Great for fun and the long run. - 2000 Acura TL
By HotRodder - July 15 - 3:01 pmThis has been an extremely reliable car. I have only needed to do routine maintenance. The engine still runs smooth as ever, has plenty of punch, and does not burn any oil. The so-called German luxury car makers should take lessons from Honda on how to make dependable cars.

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.

Sorry I bought it - 2000 Acura TL
By FoSho69 - April 7 - 9:34 pmThis is the 2nd Tl Ive owned in the past 3 years. My first one had the navigation system. The car ran pretty good, except for the navigation performance. It wouldnt hold the GPS position if its life depended on it, although it was very user friendly. I currently have a 2000 TL and I dread the day I bought it. First off, The transmission. It was sticking, then gave out altogether, stranding me along the road. Ive taken it to acura numerous times for service and I get the run-around. I was furious when it finally broke. It also has the worse cup holders. Also, playing burnt CDs from home is impossible. When I get another car very soon, I will buy another Lexus.

50% shop 50% road - 2000 Acura TL
By tom - January 2 - 10:20 pmI bought this car after trading in my Subaru, as fast as I could. The car is a great car when it works. I have had to replace all four tires for belt shift - factory originals, new brakes all around, front rods, and the auto rear mirror. The side air bag light goes on with no one in the seat and the seat belt buckles have been done in the front. This is my 2nd Acura and the dealer has been good about repairs. Once out of warantee get a good mechanic and use original parts, they are expensive but will make a difference. Dont bother with the high end gas it is only expensive.

Great Used Choice - 2000 Acura TL
By Labdog Willie - March 16 - 12:55 amAfter suffering through a few Volvos I decided to try the 3.2 TL after reading some articles and Im sure glad I bought this car. Bought a used on to let someone else pay the first years depreciation and Ive been a happy camper ever since. Havent experienced the dreaded Acura tranny problems (knock on wood) and my mechanic loves this car, well....after those Volvos who wouldnt. I consistantly leave the shop smiling because they never find anything wrong with it. Would I buy another....you bet....that 2005 looks pretty good about now!

battery problem - 2000 Acura TL
By tonyg - December 10 - 9:06 pmI purchased this vehicle used with 33000 miles. I am pleased with the performance of the engine and transmisson. The engine has very good pick up and the tranny is exceptionally smooth. The bose radio system is a good fit for this car. I like the radio controls on the steering wheel. My only complaint with this car is the battery. I have had to replace the battery every 12 months. I use Sears die hard so the second battery was free. I think that a circuit is open and draining the battery.

4th transmission before 4th year anniver - 2000 Acura TL
By javawater - May 19 - 2:00 amLove the car except for a major problem - transmission. Acura had just placed a 4th transmission in my car. I am trading it in for something else because my 100k warranty is about to expire and at the rate its been, I expect to have a 5th transmission in one year.
