1996 Acura TL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission blew all the fluid out on a hot day in the desert. Very unimpressed. The transmission is the weak point on this car, and very expensive. Dealer not interested in problems.
General comments?
The transmission shifting is very harsh.
