  Great Car! - 2001 Acura CL
  By T - September 11 - 11:42 am

  Man I love this car. Ive had it going on 5 yrs, and currently have 218+k miles. This car just keeps going, Ive only had to do some reg. maintenance and 2 sets of tires, of course from the mileage ware. I have to say the comfort in the room and seats are great If I rent, or borrow another car, I cant wait to get back in mine. My only cons would be the exterior road noise, and the trans. is a bit sensitive and needs freq. monitoring, but thats any Honda.

  For My Money-Unbeatable - 2001 Acura CL
  By Paul - September 2 - 2:01 am

  Acura may not have won over the hardcore luxury sports car owners, but this car is amazing for the price. Youre given a standard 3.2 liter with 225 horsepower and I get about 24 mpg average. On the highway it can reach 30 mpg. The car is already loaded (no options): 6 disc CD changer, heated seats, dual power seats, TCS, 4 wheel ABS disc brakes, auto-manual 5 speed trans., auto climate control, power sunroof. All this for under $33k. The 225 horsepower engine delivers a brilliant tone and is pretty quick. The styling is a large improvement from the older model as well. The interior is so easy to navigate too. The seats are comfortable and leather clad.

  No (Major) Complaints - 2001 Acura CL
  By cat - July 7 - 4:45 pm

  Great car all around. Had problems with initial transmission, but Acura happily replaced it. (It helps that I had bought the extended warranty.) Everyone I know loves my car (and most of them are jealous of me for driving it...oh well, thats their problem!).

  Im Still Driving It - 2001 Acura CL
  By id03557 - July 3 - 2:49 pm

  After 103,000 miles it seems like it will go another 100,000 no problem. It gets 30 mpg hwy and has only one problem the tranny which Acura replaced under warranty at 63,000. It is quick, handles well and I have only put one set of tires on it at 65,000. My biggest complaint is that it picks up a lot of road noise... RRRRRRR. Otherwise it handles well, is faster than 98% of cars out there, and just keeps on keeping on. Heck it still has the original battery. I wish I could buy another one, but Acura, in its wisdom (?) doesnt offer a sporty coupe anymore.

  Failed Transmission at 138,000 Miles - 2001 Acura CL
  By adamsbauer - June 4 - 11:37 pm

  The car looks great and I really like the way it runs but I expect more than 138,000 miles from an Acura transmission. I wish Acura would have done more to help me but I am stuck with a car that has a lot of miles and will have a new transmission soon and I am out several thousand dollars. If I buy from the same company I will buy an Accord. No need to pay extra if they dont take care of you and their cars dont last.

  Now you see me... - 2001 Acura CL
  By Adam Hill - May 17 - 4:52 pm

  Ok honestly, I am a 22 year old male and I give this car hell in a handbasket. I live out in the country so the roads can feel my 260+ hp. I love this car. It sounds like a T-rex lives under my hood. From the line, automatic mode is probably faster than the manumatic but hey, nobody likes that anyway on any car. If you wanna shift all the time get a five speed its that simple. Car is really light for a 3.2 engine and is getting rarer by the month. No problems yet with mine and like I said I drive it like Mr. Hyde.

  Would Keep It Forever - 2001 Acura CL
  By gf - May 12 - 9:52 pm

  I keep hoping Acura will make another coupe like this. It still looks great and handles well at 91,000 miles. Im hoping it lasts 91,000 more. Its second transmission slips just a little on a quick shift, and theres rust on the bottom of the passenger- side door. The brakes have had a major overhaul. Our other car is a 2003 CTS, which I like just as well although the features differ.

  Mid-Life Crisis Car - 2001 Acura CL
  By J.B. - September 9 - 3:07 pm

  I recently purchased this red, 2001 Acura CL 3.2, 2 door coupe, Type S. I had a 1997 Camry for 10 years, which still ran excellently, but the suspension was degrading, and other things were starting to go wrong with it. So, I had heard the Acura was a "fancy" Honda, and took a look at this used one with only 47,000 miles. It was great, and so "zippy"! As a middle aged woman, who has always been sensible, I decided to go for it. What fun! I am really enjoying this car. I do have to watch out for the paint, as it seems to flaw easily. Also, I have heard the trannys are not the greatest, but so far so good with this one. And features!? It practically comes in and cleans the house!
