  • Not a Legend - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    Too much wind noise, front seats could be firmer, I like my 91 Legend much better.

  • Uncomfortable seat design - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    2002 TL-S,10 months old, 22K miles. When driving or riding, I having pain in my hip that runs down my leg from a sciatic nerve problem that had occurred years before during the time I was driving a 1984 Honda Prelude. I can sit in other vehicles comfortably without pain. Seat bottom seems to have little padding and the lumbar support is weak. The headrest pushes my head forward uncomfortably. The overall seat design doesnt fit me. Passenger seat is worse because it cant be raised. Paint chips on the front end no clear coat? Carpet is thin and wearing. Great gas mileage, great power, beautiful car, but its gotta go.

  • Xenon Headlights - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    3 months ago, I would have told you that my Acura TL was the best, I absolutely loved it. Until recently. The newest thing in the New York area is stealing Acura TL 00-01 xenon headlights, possibly even 02. They fit into low rider honda civics, they are very expensive so stealing them is their 2nd option. Unfortunately Acura is not standing behind there products, they know about the problem butas of yet not finding a solution. I had my car back 4 wks and they stole them again. $1000 later in insurance deductables and $350 for an alarm...I am terminating my least early! When Acuras learns to stand behind their product, maybe I will think about buying another one...

    From 0 to 60 it drives like a $60000 car, from 60 to 80 it drives like $20000, at more than 80 it drives like a $10000 car.

  • More than Camry, less than Lexsus - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    Very nice and comfortable car. There is pretty much everything one could need, and most of the stuff one could desire. It lacks the excitement of a Lexus - and its WAY cheaper.

  • Safety Specs - 2001 Acura TL
    By -

    Had a high speed accident driving at 72 mph on cruise control, when a large SUV crossed the highway. No time to hit brake or turn steering wheel. On impact the air bags deployed, the seat belts held, the engine crushed and dropped. The interior and exterior of the car from the front doors back were not damaged. I was the driver and walked from the accident, although hurting, and my wife in the passenger seat sustained multiple broken bone injuries, but not critical. I will buy another one soon.
