2002 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"Fun car, very unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I owned the car for 4 months. The car had 68,000 miles and the transmission went bad. Acura extended the warranty on this model year because it had known problems - apparently known to everyone but me.
The rear seat leather has not worn well.
General comments?
Great car, fun car, but not nearly as reliable as the Acura reputation would have you believe.
