2000 Acura TL 3.2 review from North America
"Few Flaws, Great Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fan relay switch went out. It took two trips to the dealer to get fixed. Even after I told them what was wrong.
Knock sensor went out, because of mice crawling into my engine to stay warm in the winter.
My transmission went out. It was the second one. The fist one was a factory recall (patch-job by Acura). The dealer told me they had bad tranny's for a couple of years. New tranny was done by third-party. A lot of money, but I know its fixed.
General comments?
Love the car. Rides like any luxury car should ride. Handles good for a luxury sedan. Quick motor, even better with an intake. I highly suggest one. Cabin a bit small, but I am 6'2". About 28MPG in town, 37MPG was the best I got on the highway. Seats comfortable, leather soft. Good highway/road trip car.
