2010 Acura EL

TOO EXPENSIVE
It always breaks down. Parts are expensive. Although smooth ride, I still say no good. The finish is nice but stains easily. I do not recommend this car.

Good daily driven car
A sub brand of Honda, known for their reliability; it reflects in this car. Going to work daily and out on the weekends it excels. I have also taken this out for long drives it preforms good but lacks good highway mileage and I end up losing a lot of gas that way. best preferred within the inner city. The car itself doesn't look particularity too bad; average. Overall it is very reliable; having 200km+ on it.

2001 Acura EL

by Winsonian on 05-12-2016
Good Looking, Reliable and Fuel Efficient
When I bought her, the first thing I thought was it is very good looking for a car from that era. To be honest, comfort, performance and the interior all seemed pretty standard, nothing stood out in a good or bad way for this car. Fuel efficient enough for a commuter car. Mine is currently at 300k, other than some cheap repairs, should have no problem getting to 500k. Very decent and reliable car.

2004 Acura EL

by Gord6542 on 11-03-2015
Best car I ever had
The luxury of a sunroof, leather interior, heated seats, heated mirrors, and other details made this a very special car. But mostly it runs great even at 300,000 km. It has been very reliable with regular maintenance and taking care of the things that are bound to need repairs with high mileage. A really nice smooth easy drive. A bit too noisy on the highway. I now have a Honda Fit and I really really miss my Acura - no comparison.

Great car for any season
This car is extremely capable of handle any type of obstacle. whether its snow, rain or extreme temperatures. I have driven it for over a year now and have absolutely no complaints about it. This car got me through college all the way at King City and back without a single issue.

nice car, cheapest on gas
I've had this car for 2 years and I'm the 3rd owner... and no complains at all!!! Low maintenance and amazing on gas. The only issue is the rust close to the wheels (as usual in most of Hondas and Acuras). Love it.

Dependable, Reliable Entry Level Luxury
This car has been very reliable. It was bought new and has not had any major issues, just routine maintenance. I love the interior, it has soft tough surfaces and well-crafted materials. The handling is superb, it could be pushed into corners without body lean and produces a smooth supple ride. My only gripe is that throttle response is a bit slow in order to achieve fuel economy. Had two Acura vehicles now, and would buy another for sure!

sporty and efficient transportation
This car is like driving a sports car but with more room. It is a reliable car with very nice sound system to make the drive even more enjoyable. The 5 speed manual transmission gives it some pep especially when going uphill.The car has fold down seats with ample room in the trunk if you need to transport anything. The leather seats are comfortable especially in the winter because the seats are heated. The car has winter tires for extra traction in the winter.The sunroof is fun when the sun is out on a hot day.

This has been an amazing car. It has been well maintained, and I would be totally keeping it if I didn't need a larger ride. Oil has been changed regularly and it has been rust proofed every year.
