2003 Acura TL review from North America
"This is the most overpriced piece of junk I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went out at 150,000 miles.
General comments?
The car is comfortable, and it looks great.
The reliability of this car is horrible. Your transmission will go out several times while owning the car, and the maintenance is VERY EXPENSIVE!
I've never been so unsatisfied with anything like this in my life! I will never buy an Acura again. It's funny that my wife & I were pondering another Acura, but this has just nipped that in the bud. I'll make sure everyone I knows will be informed at the ridiculous price & problems they'll run into while owning an Acura TL.
