1999 Acura TL review from North America
"Great, great, great!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tended to overheat in summer when the AC was on. Otherwise perfect. Solved overheating problem - bad radiator cap!
General comments?
This is one of the best cars ever. Ran perfectly from day 1 and never left me stranded.
The front tires tend to wear out fast if you drive a little too passionately.
The transmission shifted flawlessly.
The interior held up pretty well.
I traded in this car for a 2001 Acura CL non Type S and I still miss the TL.
Never changed the timing belt and I believe these belts can go for 200,000 miles. I changed the belt in my 2001 CL at 150,000.
