  Nice ride, except for the tranny - 2001 Acura CL
  By rs118 - May 7 - 4:44 pm

  Bought it used 5 years ago at 23k in immaculate condition. Driven hard and now at 110k. Only routine maintenance required. EXCEPT FOR the transmission that has been replaced 3 times at the dealer, all under warranty with loaner cars provided. Original slipped at 36k, 2nd was noisy at 91k, 3rd was quiet but slipped at 98k, the 4th is a little noisy but good. The ride is rough on cracked pavement, but the handling is pretty good (its slightly lowered but on original wheels). Its garaged and the paint / interior are still in great condition. Nice stereo but lacks bass an amp and subwoofer cured that. Tires and break pads have lasted well. MPG is marginal, premium required.

  Amazing - 2001 Acura CL
  By Sebastian - December 17 - 5:26 pm

  I have 254,681 miles on my CL and it runs like a dream! I bought it used in 2004 and it had just around 100,000 miles on it then. Im not sure what the guy before me did to it in respect to repairs and such but I have not had one problem with the engine since I have had it. I replaced a bearing once and have had some trouble with the electrical... my volume turns up when I turn it down sometimes haha, but its still an amazing car. The stereo is sick! I love the car.

  Bad Transmissions - 2001 Acura CL
  By hate bad trannys - November 24 - 7:13 am

  This has been one of the best cars Ive ever driven. Quiet, fast, great stereo. I would go out and buy another one except for one fact. I am on my 3rd transmission and Acura will not stand by their product. They replaced one at 65,000, another at 80,000, and now at 136,000 they want to charge me $5,000 (the first 2 were warrantied) for a new one. I still own the car but bought another brand because of this experience.

  What a Hot Car - 2001 Acura CL
  By wsdyer - November 20 - 10:00 am

  The head and legroom is enough for me however for a person larger or taller than me 61 290# the ergonomics are for smaller people. That said - everything else is wonderful. The ride is as smooth as glass and the power transfer from the motion of my foot to "gettin on down the road is immediate. The tiptronics is fun to play with and the vtec engine is every bit of the 260 horsepower at 5500rpm. Excellent response, brakes are abs and stop you faster than I was ready for. The cost was higher than I wanted to pay but the curb appeal is magnetic. Ive only had her for a week so I dont have any long term data. But so far shes a blessing!!!!

  Great Fun, Great Value - 2001 Acura CL
  By bseidman - October 8 - 2:00 am

  I looked for a new car for over 6 months before I finally bought my CL Type S and not a day goes by that I regret my decision. If you look up in price the CL still delivers more than the BMWs and Lexus IS300, and its worth the extra thousand or two over the Maxima or others like it. Even the little things are great, and Acuras Navigation System is the best Ive seen. This is a high quality, classy car for those who dont want to look like the type of person that drives a BMW...

  Love this car - 2001 Acura CL
  By acurafun - December 28 - 5:19 pm

  I bought this a few months ago bc of the low miles and i must say I love everything about it and will prob own this for another 100k miles. I bought an extended warranty but doubt I will ever use it. I replaced an 04 TL and must say this car is older but much better and I am so glad I went used with Acura.

  By vip - November 7 - 12:42 pm

  I have this ac for about 4 years now. Bought it 16K now has 100 K +. I am telling you, I still look forward to getting in this car and drive to work. Absolute fun car to drive. Still drive brand new. I think it can easily run an another 100k without any issues. A++

  Soft leather glove with brass knuckles - 2001 Acura CL
  By IntegraVT - October 26 - 11:16 pm

  The CL-S is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Sleek, elegant exterior styling and an amazingly intuitive interior layout mask what may be the best sleeper car out there. Performance wise, this car will crush many "sports" cars, while providing amenities such as an in-dash 6-disc Bose CD changer, heated leather memory seats & mirrors, xenon HID headlights and Acura service & warranty. The CL Type S is not for everyone, but it should be on every luxury coupe buyers test drive list.

  Big Bang for the Buck - 2001 Acura CL
  By t_dub - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Offers more car for the money. So many standard features make this car a bargain. The 260hp engine is supreme. Punch the accelerator and the car responds with a rush. Hard cornering and braking are less impressive...BMW 330ci holds the trophy. Not a bad car to look at, but appears bland when next to the Bimmer. Excellent car for driving around town and on the open road! Ive had some problems with rattles that cant seem to be fixed. The wheels are prone to be easily scratched.
