Almost Perfect

by shadowfenrir
May 21 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fuel economy, build quality, reasonably luxurious/comfortable, good handling, reliable, and fairly fast.
Cons: Thirsty for premium fuel, slow off the line, no manual transmission.
The Bottom Line: Buy this car IF you can find one. It's good value for the money and has Honda reliability behind it. Plenty of standard features at a good price.

Well, let me tell you how impressed I am with this machine. I just sold my 1990 Toyota 4Runner three months ago now due to fuel inefficiency. I went to the Acura dealer to look at cars, and I was more looking for a 1.7 EL, but this 2.5TL caught my eye. ...

Subtle but Sporty

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: High-torque engine, good balance of sporty and luxury, comfortable interior
Cons: Annoying climate controls, jerky transmission
The Bottom Line: Beautiful balance between luxury and sporty, with a decent engine and simplistic feeling. Only few annoyances.

I have a white 1996 Acura 2.5 TL and I couldn't imagine driving any other car in the price range. First, the exterior:

It has a subtle, sporty look while still looking like a Mercedes. It doesn't have the "let's key it" exterior style...

A superb value in near-lux class

by theinnergeek
Apr 16 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Above-class interior. Legendary Honda reliability. Great climate and audio systems.
Cons: Needs more headroom and wider tires. Too much steering boost.
The Bottom Line: If you are spending about $20k and don't need new and want four doors, find one of these and buy it.

Intro
I love cars, and one thing I find fascinating about automobiles is how they blend the practical with the emotional and target that mixture toward a specific price point. When it comes to selecting a good 4-door sedan, the choices are...

over all above average

Dec 26 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: safety, price, most things included
Cons: engine size

One of my family member purchased this car, who I almost got mad for doing it. Now I have luxury to drive this car. I do not know very much about car machinery; but this car fit my eye nicely.
I like what it looks like; I think it looks...
