Acura -- The Ownership Experience

Acura is the luxury division of the well-known Japanese carmaker, Honda. The Acura brand was introduced in 1986 in North America, making Honda the first carmaker to venture outside Japan to sell luxury Japanese cars.

Acura began its popular following in the U.S. with 18 dealerships. Right from the start, Acura dealerships ranked first place in customer satisfaction surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. But the cars got attention, too.

In 1991, the Acura Legend coupe won Motor Trend's prestigious Import Car of the Year trophy.

In 2001, the MDX crossover SUV won Motor Trend's esteemed Sport/Utility of the Year award.

In 2004, Acura rolled out a third-generation Acura TL, which immediately became the best-selling luxury car in America.

There's reason why Acura's luxury vehicles are so popular -- and its not just the craftsmanship. Acura owners get more than just the car when they leave the dealership.

Beyond unbeatable warranties, Acura takes care of its owners with programs like:

Maintenance Minder System

Instead of using a static timetable to keep track of your vehicle's maintenance, Acura calculates service needs based on how you drive -- not just ho many miles you drive. Maintenance Minder checks operating conditions, weather extremes and traffic conditions. That information helps Acura service professionals coordinate check-ups to minimize your maintenance trips.

Total Luxury Care

The privilege of Acura ownership extends beyond your warranty. For as long as you own your Acura, Total Luxury Care will be there. The TLC program offers owners 24-hour nationwide emergency and travel services, roadside assistance and the Acura Concierge Service.
