1998 Acura TL review from North America
"A reliable near luxury performance sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light went on twice. The second time the light went out by itself. The first time the dealer diagnosed the problem as related to the transmission position shift sensor (which did not need to be replaced). Overall, the dealership has kept the vehicle in excellent working condition through routine maintenance.
General comments?
I have driven this car to 130 mph and it drives like a dream even at high speeds.
The sound system and interior finish are noteworthy.
I enjoy driving this car on a day to day basis.
