2003 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"Great performance for great price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I haven't had any problems with the car yet. I like Honda products. I've driven Lexus, BMW, and Infiniti products and they all were really nice cars, but I guess when it all comes down to it, it is more of a preference. I always thought Honda's were good and Acura's were even better.
I recently drove a BMW 3 series and was very impressed. I understand their slogan "The Ultimate Driving Machine." It handled extremely well and had a very strong take off, but it was a little too sporty for me and not enough luxury. I'm not saying that the TL Type S is some big premium luxury car, but I feel that it is a very well balanced car and it gives you the best of both worlds for the best price.
General comments?
I can't wait for the 2004 TL Type S, with more horse power and more room. At least this is what roomers are. It is supposed to have 300 ponies under the hood.
