1997 Acura TL Reviews

Mostly wear and tear stuff like exhaust, headlight, brakes, things of that nature.

Very reliable car other than emissions parts (which is covered by Acura for 15 years/150000).

I have had to take the car in 4 times for the EGR valve since owning it, and the dealer fixed it free every time.

The 02 sensor went on me too (dealer wanted to charge 600 for this, but it was covered by warranty).

Amazing car, soooo smooth, and it still looks great.

If you can find one with under 140k on it for a great price, get it!

Great leather... smooth ride, nice handling... it almost makes driving boring, because it is so smooth and flawless.

When you have to floor it, you get lots of power, but it could be more responsive.

Lots of road noise if you crank it up to over 60 mph.

Not too much space in the back seat, but the trunk is a good size.

Be careful, because the brakes and exhaust parts of this car are crazy expensive... the replacement headlights are like $200 each at least.

Massive oil leak.

Schizophrenic speedometer.

Electronics have a mind of their own.

Tranny shifts hard from 1st.

Door lock actuator shot.

Slower than molasses windows.

Power mirror motors fried.

Drivers seat wearing badly.

Was a victim of odometer fraud.

Too much road and wind noise for a luxury car.

About as much fun to drive as a couch.

Even less reliable than a Pinto.

A surprisingly bad car overall.

Does have a nice interior, when it all actually works the way it's supposed to.

Spring came off door, replaced it myself in 5 mins.

An outstanding, comfortable and good looking car that never fails to impress.
