  By acuraowner - December 28 - 2:50 am

  purchased a certified preowned CL, Acura stands by their warranty BUT too many trips to the service dept. car rides smoothly, great on gas but constant engine light problems transmission had to be replaced soon after i purchased but dealer covered costs - car was in dealership for 3 weeks!!! tire rims do scratch easily paint job is poor side airbag lights keep coming on, dealership says its nothing maintenance cost not too bad rear passenger seats only for 2 bose system is weak cds get stuck in changer DEFINITELY KEEP YOUR RADIO CODE unless you want your radio replaced if car batttery dies and you need a jumpstart! hope it will trade-in fairly.

  Upscale Honda is a winner - 2001 Acura CL
  By Bill - December 23 - 11:47 pm

  Ive been a huge fan of Hondas for years, so my review is biased, but few if any automaker builds a better engine. This Acura is just as reliable as any of the five Hondas Ive owned, but it has a true luxury car feel. The handling is a bit heavy the car loves to plow into corners but that was fixed with thicker aftermarket sway bars. Aside from a few nagging interior rattles, the build quality is excellent. The car is both a luxury cruiser and a flat out fun car to drive.

  Love it But... - 2001 Acura CL
  By wohojr - December 6 - 6:06 pm

  I bought this car new and and LOVE IT BUT...the real selling points being it was a Honda (Ive owned 5), offered terrific value for the money and was a step up from my 94 Accord EXL four door. It was a coupe but practical enough to drive to work and enjoy all that power and luxury. Where this car let me down was when I had to replace the transmission at 15K! Acura stood behind their product and replaced it for free and even upped the warranty to cover any future problems but it fundamentally changed how I felt about the car. However, nothing else has gone wrong and Im at 38K now. Acura killed the resale market when they canceled the CL in 03, so Ill be keeping her for awhile longer.

  None better in 2001 - 2001 Acura CL
  By LC - October 25 - 5:26 pm

  In 2001 if you wanted power, reliability, comfort, good looks and fuel economy, CL-S was clearly the best buy. The car makes 1,000 foot elevation climbs in the Rockies seem like the flats of Kansas. 68,000 miles and no problems. No sense trading it in this will be my first car over 100,000 miles since my 73 Dodge.

  3 years and still in love... - 2001 Acura CL
  By lil_dreamer13 - September 14 - 11:39 pm

  I purchased my 01 CL Certified in September 2002. I fell in love with it then and am still in love with it now. At the time, I was also looking at the Lexus IS, but it felt like I was cramped up in an upgraded version of my Civic SI. The CL has all the luxurious interior features, a powerful engine so it is at a great value. The transmission was recalled, but Acura replaced it at their cost. Ive been a CL owner for 3 years now and dont even have an itch to look at other cars because Im very happily satisfied. When Im in the market to purchase a new car, it would definitely be another Acura hands down... Perhaps the TL. )

  Unreal Unreal - 2001 Acura CL
  By Awesome - August 17 - 7:42 pm

  I must say it handles and rides better then 99% of the vehicles I have driven. Very reliable, very fast, very well built, no complaints. Resale is wonderful and so is gas mileage. BUY ONE

  Acura 3.2CL S Type Review - 2001 Acura CL
  By Edd Moss - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Car is fun to drive as it is agile and responsive with the bonus of good gas mileage. The car comes with what would be options in other cars and the value is the best in the industry, price to quality.

  2001 Acura CL-S - 2001 Acura CL
  By rico - July 14 - 4:59 pm

  The S-type is a hoot to drive. Excellent performance and cornering ability. The auto shift works well and get the job done. Gas milage is in the 25 mpg range overall. very quite overall with a nice growl from the duel exhaust. The only issues are the 6 cd changer jams up but then the problem clears up later in the day and the stock tires are sub par.
