2003 Acura TL Type S review from North America
"Hard to find better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission is one of those recalled. I had 2 replacements under warranty within 35K miles and am now having a THIRD replacment put in.
Motor mount broke, may be related to transmission problems.
Rear brakes went before front. Don't understand that (46K miles)
General comments?
Other than issues above, a darn near perfect car. Great handling, good comfort, great mileage (30 plus highway.
