  The goo and the bad - 2003 Acura CL
  By jbak - December 8 - 2:00 am

  I believe that the CL S-Type is the best value in its class. The car is really built very well. There is not another car out there that you get so much for so little. The S-Type comes completely loaded at a price of about $33,000. It blows every BMW away in terms of features, price, and horsepower. There is only the BMW M3 that has more horses and the M3 almost costs double. I traded in a 95 BMW 325is for the Acura and all I can say is the Acurua ROCKS!!

  Opus1s review - 2003 Acura CL
  By Opus1sk - December 7 - 2:00 am

  Fantstic car and a great price to boot. Super looks and performance that matches. Bose stereo is second to none. Automatic transmission that turns into a manual one with no clutch is awesome. So much fun to drive and if you get sick of shifting you can go back to the normal automatic. Steering wheel feels great along with the leather seats that are heated. Acura should be commended on their effort here.

  Fun to drive! - 2003 Acura CL
  By kkvasnicka - December 4 - 2:00 am

  Ive found the CL-Type S a joy to drive. I test drove the G35 also. The CL is a smoother ride. Even though is doesnt have as much horsepower, it has plenty. Bang for the buck, the CL is a much better buy.

  My first Honda/Acura product - 2003 Acura CL
  By R. Moramarco - November 30 - 2:00 am

  I am very pleased with my purchse,so far, after my first year of ownership. I wanted a vehicle that did not second guess me when I stepped on the gas peddle. When I said go , I wanted my vehicle to go! And boy, does it perform. Alot of people are surprised that my style car has the power it does. I also wanted a luxury car and it is that too. It has plush leather seats and wood laminate trim.

  The best sport coupe value out there - 2003 Acura CL
  By Nick-L - November 23 - 2:00 am

  The CL Type S 6 speed is simply the best sport coupe value available. It has it all: excellent performance, superb handling, luxurious, roomy and practical, FWD for the snow, absolutely reliable - all for less than $30k. This is the 3rd Acura CL weve bought. My wife and I bought a matching pair of 2001 CLs, and I loved them so much that I recently traded one in for a new 2003 Type S 6 speed. There was simply nothing else out there like it. The new Infiniti G35 Coupe was close - its a very nice car, but RWD doesnt go as well in the snow, it has less room, and is about $10k more. It was a no brainer choice.

  Best Value if You Can Find Any Left - 2003 Acura CL
  By Gawain - November 15 - 2:00 am

  There was a silver 6sp/CL-S that I had my eye on for months at the dealer. Knowing that 2003 was the last model year, I figured I would be able to pick one up for a good price. Indeed. I did. This car comes with everything. The build quality is top notch. The engine, ooh, that engine. Tranny, a slick shifting dream! Quiet cabin, excellent ergonomics. Honda builds great cars!

  Not your mothers accord! - 2003 Acura CL
  By jorruss - October 26 - 1:00 am

  This car is great fun to drive with the 6 speed. It loves to go fast and it will do so in style and comfort. Add Comptech springs and get rid of the crappy Michelins and the handling of the car improves dramatically! I can toss it around corners with reckless abandon and it handles predictably and stays flat through the turn. The many aftermarket performance parts available from comptech will make this car as fast and furious as your pocketbook can handle!

  Acura CL - 2003 Acura CL
  By Zuchinidog - October 24 - 10:00 am

  This is a very good car. I traded in an Audi A4, and although it was a fun car to drive, the repair bills were gettting to be very expensive. I also test drove a BWM 3, a Volvo S60 and Lexus IS300. Each was an excellent car; however, the Acura was the best choice, in my mind, when factoring in the price.

  Last of the best - 2003 Acura CL
  By flhoss - October 22 - 2:00 am

  Sorry they decided to drop the CL series. The chip resistant paint job is great. Driving on the freeway I was to the left rear of a bus. It hit a pile of broken boards. They flew up and slammed into the right rear side of my 2003 Cl-S shaking the vehicle. I stopped to see how much damage had been done to my car with only 900 miles on it. I was elated. Absolutely no damage, not a scratch or blemish. I still look occasionally to see if I missed something. I am 220 lbs 6 feet and seat is uncomfortable, head close to roof, rear window very difficult to clean inside. Still love my CL-S
