1996 Acura TL review from North America
"Still my wife's favorite after 10 years.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced ABS pump twice, O2 sensor failure.
General comments?
Great car. After 135000 miles it stills drive and looks as good as the day we bought it.
Not a performer, but very reliable and comfortable. Handling is good, but not great. It'll never out handle a BMW of the same era, but it will surely out last it.
