my Ricer - 2001 Acura CL
By redplanetlover - August 16 - 12:03 pmI bought my 2001 CL 3.2 Type S around Christmas in 2006 and as of now I have replaced the alternator and the power steering pump. Thats it! I did it in my garage for a couple hundred bucks all in. I have had NO problems with the transmission at all and I am at 165000 K right now. I think the transmission problems are from people who shift manually and I rarely do that. The computer does a better job than my ears can. What can I say? I have thought about replacing her but every car I test drive is no quicker and most dont have the handling of my Type S. I have found that to show an improvement I would have to spend $50,000 and why bother? If you can find one, buy it and smile.

Until Now - 2001 Acura CL
By ladyveee - December 19 - 6:22 pmI have had my 2001 3.2 CL since 2004. Thats right shes 11 years old and has been so good to me as I have been to her. Last week I had an interesting experience that Ive never had before. She putted 3 times while in traffic and just died. It wasnt the battery and 30 minutes later she started up and the problem has not reocurred. She has been with mechanic for approximately a week and they cant find anything wrong. Mechanic has been driving her to and from work to see what happens. If mechanic can not find the issue, I may have to consider replacing her, I drive too often and late at night and am afraid of getting stranded or worse. Up to this point she has been reliable. I love her but

My 2001 Acura CL-S - 2001 Acura CL
By smileyhollow - January 24 - 1:56 pmIn 2000, I bought a 2001 Acura CL-S brand new and I love it. It has 49,000 miles and the only things I have ever had done to it is have the oil changed and the scheduled maintenance. The only thing bad I have to say about this car is that it didnt hold its value as I thought it would. Even though I have 4 people standing in line to buy it, I am keeping it and maybe sell it later. It is a blast to drive and now that there are not many on the road, it gets the looks. I think it is a beautiful and a fun car. So if you ever see a shiny, bright red 2001 CL-S in perfect condition passing you, wave, it will probably be me.

Nice ride, except for the tranny - 2001 Acura CL
By rs118 - May 7 - 4:44 pmBought 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 pmI 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 amThis 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 amThe 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 amI 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 pmI 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.
