It's a great car. I've had mine for only 4 days, though.
I've driven Hondas continously for 20 years this year (ouch), and it is typical for a Honda in build quality, fit & finish.

I had a Type-S. Terrific car, but I had a bad accident in it. I now have an 04 6MT. Much nicer car. Everything that looked or felt somewhat bland in the previous generation TL will put an unconscous grin on your face this time around. Drive one and you'll understand.

This is my first import car and I love it. I drove almost everything in this class before buying and I don't think you can beat the overall package. Navi is a must IMO.

It's my 7th Acura and it's my favorite so far. It does have its shortcomings though...vibration issues, marginal tires, a few bugs Acura still needs to fix, but over all there is still no other car I would step into right now if I had the option to do so. I've got 8200 miles in 4 months on this car.
This topic has been beaten to death, like vtech=happiness said, but in this case I don't mind, since opinions can change on this subject quite often.

Never had a TL before my 04, but I was VERY pleased with my RL and didn't want to part with it while needing a new "commute" car. I drove a lot of cars and nothing compared to the value of the TL.

This is my 1st Acura and I love it. Only 700+ miles so far, but it's all good (knock on wood)! I had a 2001 A4 Quattro before the new TL. That car had great handling, but I'm hoping the TL will be better in the long run, reliability-wise. It sure beats the old Audi in the high-tech department.

Ha! I just posted this same question a few days ago!
I too live in the Seattle area and am thinking about trading my '02 Type-S in for an '04. Still on the fence though...might wait for the '05s to roll out.

This is my second Acura. My 1st was the Integra (96) which is now gone. I have also had 3 Honda vehicle and I was/am very pleased with the improvement up from the Honda.

All in all better than my old TL-S. Glad I made the upgrade. BUT I can't say I'm 100% happy with my TL. Yes for the money it gives you a lot but Acura quality is getting a little funny lately.

I love the Hi-tech features, but miss my 95 6-speed Legend coupe which had more comfortable seats and a better ride. I also think that my coupe was much more attractive and unique looking.

So far, I'm loving mine. The complaints I can find are so petty, I can't find one legit complaint about the car. Here's an example of my petty complaints:
1) Change 'tray' only allows dime/nickels/quarters... why is there no love for the penny?
2) one loose thread in the passenger seat
3) Haven't found a voice command to go from FM to XM
4) Already found road that I travel one that isn't in the NAV system (the road was opened less than 6 months ago)
5) no 'auto-on' feature for headlights (when it gets dark)
6) seems to be a little friction on the stick when I go to third, not grinding at all, but something is not synching right. Only happens from 2nd -> 3rd. if I go 3rd -> neutral -> 3rd, it doesn't happen
All in all.. extremely petty. I love this car and have no regrets. I love the NAV to, given the way it's incorportated into the functioning of the car.. it's well worth the money. It's much more than just a NAV screen.
