Miles Overview
The 1996 Acura TL is a compact executive sedan that competes with the Lexus ES and BMW 3 Series. It drives smoothly on the highway and feels planted through curves, though the steering is a bit loose for a sport sedan. The cabin is comfortable for average-sized people, with a fantastic Bose sound system and well-placed controls. Owners report the TL is reliable overall, but the transmission may need attention around 138,000 miles and water can leak into the trunk. The Base trim with the 2.5L five-cylinder gives up some power to the 3.2L V6 version but still feels eager around town. Its 2.5L I5 makes 176 horsepower and pairs with a automatic transmission, returning 20 mpg combined in mixed driving.
