1998 Acura TL review from North America
"If you find one, buy it!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car.
The transmission shifts funny and may make one think there is something wrong, however a little research will reveal that is the way they are and are one of the most rock solid transmissions Acura ever produced.
General comments?
After my previous vehicle left me stranded 3 times within 1 year, it is great to finally have a dependable car. The build quality and refinement of the 96-98 Acura TL is awesome to say the least. When you get in this car, you can "feel" that it is pure quality. At 200 hp they are not the fastest car around, but they ride like a Cadillac and come standard with every option you can think of.
The service at the Acura dealership has been the best I've ever recieved.
I will buy Acuras from now on.
