2003 Acura TL Type-S review from North America
"Very nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sept 2004; 19,400mi.; Warranty: Recall for automatic transmission, excessive heat on 2nd gear, inspect and install oil jet.
OEM tires were not very good for several reasons, so those were replaced at 40,000mi.
Feb 2006; 44,100mi.; Warranty: VSA and lights activate when turning right, right front wheel sensor replaced.
Mar 2006; 44,600mi.; Warranty: CD's sticking in changer, replaced in-dash CD unit.
General comments?
My first new car purchase since 1982. Handles well, gets good gas mileage with good performance, reliable and comfortable.
I now have 70,800mi. on the car and it still feels tight and new. It's quiet inside and looks good outside.
Overall an 8.5 out of 10.
