2004 Acura TL review from North America
"Reliable. Low maintenance cost - except for tires"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tire wear is terrible. Have gone through 2 sets in 58000 miles. Tires are rotated and balanced every 5-7K, run just below suggested max inflation. In first year, experienced crack in rim which caused tire to deflate and become damaged beyond repair. RELUCTANTLY, dealer finally replaced the rim, but not the tire. Any recommendations for an all season tire with good, even reasonable, mileage?
Wife loves the car. I've seen better quality.
Automatic choke is ROUGH. Dealer efforts to correct have had no effect.
