  I would rather go back to my BMW328CI - 2001 Acura CL
  By Type-S - November 6 - 12:52 pm

  Transmission problems, check engine light constantly comes on, and loud sunroof, and slight rattles. I wish I had kept my old BMW328CI which had over 140k miles and never had any of these problems that my Acura CL with only 60,000 miles have. I have heard/read that the better Acura CLs were the 1997 to 1999. My co-worker has a 1997 CL 3.0 and never had any problems with it and has over 110,000 miles on it. You get a far better car for the money you pay for a BMW 3 series.

  Bone Stock 15.6 with junk in the trunk - 2001 Acura CL
  By walt by default - November 2 - 2:00 am

  My brother told me not to test drive it. My wife said "get what you want, the boys have their cars, I have mine, you dont have to get a four door family sedan." What a wonderful wife. This is a great car. It is very very fast and very very comfortable. I am 61" tall and weigh 290# and this car is one of the few that accomodates my height and girth with the standard leather drivers seat. My oldest sons Tiburon is slightly tricked out and he turns 15.9 at Capital Raceway in Crofton. I turned a 15.6 after learning how to master the racing tree lights. I had a full sized spare, two 17" rims and a set of clubs in the trunk when I did it. Not bad.

  wow! BEST DEAL IN TOWN - 2001 Acura CL
  By paganpink - September 30 - 2:00 am

  The type S begs to be driven in a sporty manner, but has a comfortable ride at any time. I highly recommend several basic changes that will awaken this incredible car 1, Buy the AEM cold air intake,(2-3 hundred).The increase in performance is amazing,10- 15 horsepower, and the 2nd intake opening at 5k RPM in the S engine sounds absolutely incredible.2.Buy the Eibach springs (2-3 hundred.)Hugely improves handling at all speeds with no loss of ride quality! Giving it a more aggressive appearance and keeping it glued to the turns. 3. Buy a 75 horse shot of nitrous (7-8). Engine computers will never let it run lean, and you now outrun BMWs,350z,V-8 Camaros,&

  The Best Acura Ive Owned - 2001 Acura CL
  By BernD - September 28 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Acura since the 1985 model. The 2001 CL is the best in terms of power, handling, agility and design. This car flies when needed with a slight touch of the peddle. No problem leading the pack between NY and Boston. Im in the market for the new TL and cant wait to get my hands on it.

  The Dreamy Type-S - 2001 Acura CL
  By DMB Tampa Fan - April 26 - 2:00 am

  I looked at other cars on the market, but for the money and the features that this car has to offer, it was a no brainer! The only option was the navigation system - everyting else was included! Heated seats and mirrors, sunroof, and not one but two memory keys, and the list goes on! What other car company offers all these extras in the base model. Acura has found the right combination of luxury and the fun to drive sports car! It is a dream to drive! You will not be disappointed!

  Its really a shame - 2001 Acura CL
  By blanco - April 8 - 2:00 am

  At 47,000 miles my poor tranny died. This problem has caused a very obvious and apparent drop in resale value - and frankly I have little confidence the rebuild Acura supplied will "tow the line" for the long haul. Its too bad because otherwise this car is near perfect for my needs and desires. The motor is awesome. Probably the smoothest revving V6 out there - and it has good torque thru the power band. Close to BMW smoothness really - but a I-6 should always be superior to the V-6. Handling is excellent, solid feedback through the wheel for a FWD car.

  Great car - 2001 Acura CL
  By Jgrupp - March 9 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. It is fun to drive, is responsive, has a great passing gear, wish it had been available in six speed when I got the car... Great buy.

  Sweet car - 2001 Acura CL
  By Best car out there - February 19 - 2:00 am

  Since purchasing the CL Type-s I have thouroughly exploited the traction control and VSA and V-tec appropriatly. Being only 24 and owning this car is truly an experience. Not driving this car the way that its meant to be driven is like having 1000 watt speakers hooked up to a 250 watt amp.
