2002 Acura TL -Type S review from North America
"A sporty ride in a four door package."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing so far is the Autodown on the drivers window stopped working. The window goes down just the Auto feature stopped working. I'll get it fixed under warranty.
General comments?
I like the feel and handling of the car. The engine has plenty of power for this sedan. It's comfortable on long distance cruises too. The gas mileage is great AND my transmission still works fine. Had the brakes checked and all the pads and rotors look good. Trunk is nice size. The only complaint I have is that the Bose stereo is not that good. My Dodge Caravan has a better stereo. Can't have everything I guess.
