2001 Acura TL review from North America
"A high performance car with a reasonable price tag!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The window motor was recalled, the dealer had a rental ready for me, when the car was being serviced.
Right front seat has a spot where the leather is not as soft as the other seats, it's not noticeable unless you touch it with your hand. When sitting in the seat you cannot feel the harder leather.
General comments?
This is one of the best cars that I have ever owned. It's fun, fast and is a sharp looking car.
This 2002 Acura 3.2 TL is a great driving machine, for a younger person just out of school, looking to impress his or her peers.
This Acura is the 3.2 TL not the s-type, I feel with its 225hp it has more power than is needed for everyday driving.
Off the line I have just about beaten every car that has tried to race me. I have also beaten a BMW 325ic.
The interior of the car looks like something you would find in a Lexus or Mercedes, very rich looking.
