2003 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"No other car in this class can touch the combination of price, features and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car.
General comments?
This car has incredible acceleration, great handling and a killer interior design.
The only 2 things I might change, the shift gate is a little tough to maneuver and the moon-roof controls should be located overhead near the top of the windshield instead of on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. These are minor complaints which I'm sure will disappear as I become more familiar with the car.
My only complaint about the car is that it is not as successful at isolating road noise as one might expect of a car in this price range.
