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 is the entry point, and it comes with the stronger 3.0L V6 rather than the 2.5L found in the cheaper model. Its 3.0L V6 makes 200 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque, routed through a four-speed automatic to the front-wheel drive, which gives it eager acceleration around town. Fuel economy is 19 mpg combined, which is typical for a mid-90s V6 sedan, and the ride leans toward comfort over sportiness.
