I test drove an '04 TL with 55,000km yesterday, and I'll be keeping my '01, thank you very much. The '04 I tried had a harsh ride and rattles galore. My '01 is so much better in those respects. And to make matters worse, the thing had the original POS Turanza's still on it.
in stop-and-go traffic, or when first accelerating after being completly stopped, my 2002 RL will not respond to soft pressure on the accelerator. I need to continue pressing on the accelerator until the car suddenly jumps forward - highly annoying.
