2004 Acura TL Reviews, Specs, Price & Road Test

"Awesome audio system. If it had a DVD movie player, I'd watch movies in the car instead of at home." While the DVD audio player and stereo system continue to get high praise in the logbook, one editor went off about the Acura's NAV system: "My biggest beef with this car is the ridiculous lawyer screen that won't even allow you to 'agree' with the safety message until you've had time to lip-read the entire screen."

We're also starting to notice that the "interior plastics--kick panels and door thresholds--are taking a beating and not aging well, making the car appear older than it is." Perhaps a good detailing will help. Another editor noted on a trip from Lake Tahoe to Carson City that he'd "experienced a bit of brake fade after coming down a 15-mile grade. I was barely on the brakes, but toward the bottom of the grade slight brake application caused noticeable steering column vibration. That was two days ago, and it hasn't happened since." We'll mention this condition during the next scheduled service.
