  My best car ever - 2001 Acura TL
  By mysterger - July 13 - 3:23 pm

  xI have owned this car since it was new, purchased September 2000. I had the transmission replaced at about 34,000 miles by Acura at no extra charge. Since then, Ive had no issues with the transmission and mileage currently stands at 153,000 miles. The car still drives and runs beautifully. It is serviced regularly by an Acura dealership and I love their service. For a twelve years old, people who dont know too much about cars think it is just a 3 or 4 years old. Last month, I had the oil changed along with a tire rotation. When I was about to get in my car and leave after the work was done, the mechanic who did the work came outside and offered me $6500 for it! I couldnt believe it.

  Keep going and going - 2001 Acura TL
  By The Ottoman - September 27 - 2:00 am

  I have been driving it for about 7 years now and had to change its transmission once. Other than that no issues at all. I havent changed the brakes even after driving 90k miles. I only changed battery, wipers and tires, and thats about it! Gas mileage is 29 in city which is excellent. It still drives like new and Im planning to keep it forever or give it to my college kid in 10 years...:-))

  Edmunds mpg Correction - 2001 Acura TL
  By A Owner - September 11 - 2:00 am

  I found the TL gets between 26 and 30 mpg depending on the type of driving and octane rating of the gas. I have no idea where Edmunds got the 20 mpg on their rating service.

  No problems - 2001 Acura TL
  By paul - November 25 - 10:19 am

  Ive driven my TL daily and put on 140,000 miles and have never had a problem with this car. I drove GM vehicles primarily prior to this and had more issues than I care to remember. Since owning this car, Im sold on Honda quality.

  Still going strong - 2001 Acura TL
  By Jimmy Mac - March 26 - 10:12 am

  Bought new 9/2000. First 30K was commuting back and forth to Cleveland from home (420 miles one way). This car is coming up on 95K, still runs great, looks good and I plan on keeping it. Best car (value) I have ever owned.

  Great Car of the Money - 2001 Acura TL
  By DCooper - October 1 - 2:00 am

  This is my first Acura product. My wife had a 1996 Honda Accord EXL and a 2000 AccordEX V6 which we like. However, my TL is a far better car in appearance and ride. With the price adjustment down in 1999 by $4k, I decided to get the TL in 12/2000. I just turned over 50,000 miles this week so I am out of warranty but I believe the quality is there to keep the car for another 3 years. I have enjoyed my TL and while it is paid off, I do not plan to replace it any time soon. I am not impressed with the style of the new 2004 TL. I would recommend the TL as a good use car buy if the car has been well maintained and the mileage is under 60,000 miles.

  Theres nothing like a Honda product - 2001 Acura TL
  By Russell2372 - July 17 - 2:00 am

  While Acuras in general do not rate well with critics due to their conservative styling, a quick sample of user opinions will give you ample reasons to purchase one. They are a Honda product and are unmatched in quality and reliability. This is my second Acura over the last 12 years as I previously owned a Vigor. In that span I have had no mechanical problems other than routine maintainence. It also helps that I have had very favorable experiences with my local dealership. The service has matched the quality of the vehicle.

  Tremendous Used Car Value - 2001 Acura TL
  By trcca - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Bought used off-lease with 46k miles, and love the car (w/nav). For the price you get so many features, rock- solid performance, interior "luxury," and a fun ride. Also got the GPS which, despite being 3 years behind the tech curve, still works like a charm (and is updatable whenever Acura releases the new DVD). Even with 46 k miles this car handles like a dream, the interior is still crisp and working perfectly, and everything just keeps humming. Highly recommended (I was between this and the ES 300, which has a much more luxurious interior, but far fewer features, floatier ride, and higher price).
