2002 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"A great high performance sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cars transmission went out about 30,000 miles. Has more road noise than I would expect for a upscale sedan. I did not like the Michelin tires.
General comments?
This car over-all was very good. Even though the transmission went out at 30,000 miles, there were no other problems. Acura took car of the transmission and it did not cost me a dime. They also extended the warranty on the transmission to 75,000 miles. The car's performance is very good. The internals are still like new (no rattles, etc). Leaving out the transmission issue, my over-all satisfaction of this car was very good and better than the previous cars I've owned.
