One-Year Test Update: 2004 Acura TL angelsavage02 — 2007-12-14 GTM 1 @ 08:02
Some breakdown of info on Acura to give you some idea and to keep you updated,too...
"Our TL's logbook is dripping with commentary. Senior road test editor Chris Walton wrote, "Attractive, competent, nicely priced, and booooring. The most remarkable thing I can find is the audio system and sound quality. The TL has many of the elements a G35 possesses save one: passion." Feature editor John Matthius countered with "Au contraire, Mr. Walton. A commuting appliance? The TL does give up some performance numbers to the G35, but man does not patrol the urban jungle on digits alone. For the owner who'll sacrifice a slight edge in track performance, I think the TL is an awesome midlevel lux-sport-sedan alternative." Most agree, though, "for cruising around town, driving on the freeway, or going on a long drive, the TL does a fine job."Ofcourse with its excellent parts,like the Acura Tl Ignition Wire Set
and the like, driving Acura will always be a hassle-free ride...
FROM THE LOGBOOK
"The TL is Accord Grande, taking the bread-and-butter Honda's platform to the next level in terms of performance, style, and luxury amenities."
