Poorest Quality Honda Ive ever ownerd - 2003 Acura CL
By 2002cldisappointment - May 21 - 10:00 amThe drivers side armrest squeeks. A bundle of wires dropped from under the dash. The climate control sounds like it is full of leaves. Im 511 and keep hitting my head on the roof. The moonroof flutters like crazy at > 70 mph. You call this quality?

Think Again! - 2003 Acura CL
By MadHorse - August 2 - 2:00 amThe Car is fun to drive, But there are too many problems. I bought this used at 23,000 miles and drove it for about half year, initially the parking brake did not work, then the wheel bearing went back, then the battery cable went loose and I was stuck at a fast food restaurant after lunch for two hours, then the brakes went back and the rear rotors were damaged and brake pads only had 5% (highly unusal). Then the expenses tires needs replacement and I am up for a wheel alignment, the cupholder keeps making noise and the rear window defroster does not work... thought I bought an Acura but this thing is not reliable at all.

Clutch problem - 2003 Acura CL
By INUD - June 24 - 2:00 amThis car was a great car for 30,000 miles, until the clutch went out. I babied this car. I had no warning of a clutch failure, no slippage at all. Riding on a flat raod and went to shift and the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. Thats all she wrote. cloast me $800+. Have had lots of manual shifts and this was a first for me. Also have had trouble with the home link.

Bad Transmission - 2003 Acura CL
By BadTransmission - June 7 - 2:00 amAll 3.2s have bad transmissions. When ours went bad they had the car for 30 days. So many transmissions were bad on the car throughout the country that there were no parts in the states to repair the car. The problem with the transmission has never been resolved. When your transmission goes bad (and it is a matter of when not if) you receive a rebuilt transmission that has already gone bad and been "repaired". Rather than recall the car and remedy the problem, Acura extended the warranty on the transmission to 7 years/70,000 miles. This warranty extensions hide the real problem. THIS CAR HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

Fun to Drive, but Poor Reliability - 2003 Acura CL
By Fastkar - March 8 - 2:00 amThe car was fun to drive however, it was in the shop at least five times with under 20,000 miles. I had to get a new transmission, new rotors, seats got stuck many times, and my sunroof rattles like it was put in after market. They were never able to really fix it. Their fix was special tape made by Acura. This was my first and last Acura.

Disappointment - 2003 Acura CL
By John4evr - February 3 - 2:00 amThe car is a mixture of pluses and minuses, however, listening to the dash board creak and groan with all the rattles is a good reason not to purchase this vehicle.

Poor Build Quality - 2003 Acura CL
By qrqr199top - October 16 - 10:00 amHaving been a long time Toyota owner, I am really disappointed with the build quality of my Acura CL. So far, my fog lights have burned out twice, my sunroof still rattles, my rear quarter panel had to re-welded, interior trim panels were falling off and still the car rattles and squeaks... Ive told the Acura dealer that my 96 Corolla with 120,000 miles makes less noise than my 2002 acura.
