2002 Acura TL Reviews
| “Great Car But Soft Tranny” Reviewing:
2002 Used Acura TL S
fit and finish is great but that engine is crazy....prrrss when you are crusing but when you stomp on the gas ...you have just unleashed a lion...But one problem..the tranny is soft..due to defective parts and material selection on honda's part...and they openly admit it in recall letters but never in public..go figure.....anyways...just be prepared to pay at least 4 grand for a rebuilt tranny for this puppy....and for all you ppl who will read this ....NO i didn't drive this car like a retard...with a heavy lead foot...its all long distance driving and commuting from home to work and daily trips to the city...and yes i did all my car up keep religiously even with the dealership, using the best synthetic oils in the busness ie...lucas oil and royal purple..from what i understand they fixed the tranny problem in the 04's and up.....Dont' get me wrong....i still love acura power but i'd just get the improved model from this one.
Pros —
great engine, fast when you need it to be
Cons —
tranny is soft ie: defective torque converter ...4k to to get a rebuild tranny

| “It's A 6.5/10 When It Could Be 9/10.”
Performance: It has decent acceleration, mediocre braking, decent handling... for now >:)
Pros —
It's Japanese :P (Even though they don't sell this particular one in Japan.)
Cons —
Needs detailing and aftermarket parts and it'll be good to go.

| “Powerful.” Reviewing:
2002 Used Acura TL 3.2TL
This car is so fun to drive! It accelerates pretty fast and has 220 horse power. It also has the craziest braking ability plus turning. I like to speed around in it and it does have a decent miles per gallon. It also is semi-manual.
Pros —
Fast acceleration.
Good handling. Good braking.
Cons —
Nothing.

2002 Used Acura TL S w/ Navigation
Fun to drive...great features. Crappy air conditioning, which in Texas is a big deal. About to go buy an '08 TL

| “Excellent Built Quality And The 260hp Engine Is Very Powerful!” Reviewing:
2002 Used Acura TL S
Had the car for almost a year. It was a company car. I was very happy with the upscale interior and the large boot space. The car was very comfortable to drive on long trips. The engine was very powerful and made an amazing noise when accelerated on full throttle. Handling was also excellent. Type S features a sports suspension but doesn't compromise ride quality. One major disadvantage is the notchy automatic transmission that takes forever to find the right gear. The car is solid thought and a good buy with all the "goodies" that includes like power everything, leather etc.
Pros —
engine, built, handling
Cons —
notchy transmission

| “An All-around Great Car” Reviewing:
2002 Used Acura TL 3.2TL
A great car - V6 engine puts out about 230 hp and can really get going using auto-stick. The suspension is good for a sedan, not stiff enough for really taking the turns, but provides a smooth ride and quick manueverability. The interior is great - heated leather seats, an amazing Bose soundsystem, and a decent fan for A/C and heat. All the controls are easy to find and use. Plenty of storage room for all your phones, ipods, cameras. Very solid all-around, have had very little maintenance problems.
Pros —
Great power for a V6 and amazing Bose soundsystem
Cons —
auto-stick doesn't allow manual control over 1st gear, rear seats don't fold down - can only use the pass-through

| “Solid As A Rock.” Reviewing:
2002 Used Acura TL 3.2TL
While it has a tuned down version of the awesome 3.2 liter Honda engine, It still gets to top speed smoothly and quickly. The engine is so finely tuned it sounds more like a woosh than a roar.
Pros —
Smooth, Comfortable, and pretty fast.
Cons —
Expensive to repair, 225hp engine could produce a little more power.
