  Tranny worse than an American Tranny - 2003 Acura CL
  By never_ever_again - March 15 - 10:00 am

  Had this car for a month, after only 1500 miles, the transmission went bad even after babying it. It doesnt shift past 2nd gear. Thought I was a rare case, but when I went to the dealer, they werent surprised. There is a freaking 3 month waiting list for CL/TL transmissions! When I saw the www.acura-cl.com message board I wasnt the only one. They have a section dedicated to "Transmission Problems"!!! Hundreds of people are having transmission problems for a wannabe luxury car. People, stay away from the CL and TL and get an accord. The CL and TL tranny is a piece of crap.

  Awesome Car - 2003 Acura CL
  By KamG - March 2 - 2:00 am

  Great luxury car with low price tag! You actually get all options with MSRP...no hidden mark-ups for options. The Type S gives you 260 horses that can put away most cars. Acura engine is tops in maintenance! Over-all fun car!

  Wonderful Driving Experience - 1998 Acura CL
  By RMOOS - February 21 - 12:07 pm

  The VTEC engine is well built and engineered, just like all Honda vehicles. Im impressed and still hope to drive this car for over 250K miles. Great used car for the price. Is very much underated for what you can do with engine versus the price of a new model. If you can find one in relatively good condition buy it like I did.

  So far, so good. What a joy to drive. After driving a Chrysler product for 2 and a half years, this is a dream!

  MPG is Poor! - 2002 Acura CL
  By cangold - September 26 - 8:14 am

  This is a pre-cert w/ only 35K. The CL looks like new. I bought w/extended warranty 4/48 because of the tranny issues. Drives like a dream. I do a lot of hwy driving and only avg 18-20 MPG. Did better on my 93 Lexus. Hope to keep for at least 4 yrs.

  Nice car - 1999 Acura CL
  By ScorpioEddie84 - September 16 - 10:08 pm

  I bought this car around 4/07 from a private owner with 100k on it. They were the original owners and kept the car up well. I like this car a lot and wish Acura would bring it back (currently they have no 2-door cars available). But anyway, so far this car has treated me pretty well and is fun to drive. Only strange thing that has happened is the brake light in the dash... it will not go off sometimes when I start up the car even though the emergency brake is comletely off. The light usually goes out once it has been driven a few minutes. Also the cruise- control light sometimes does not light up at night. I assume it is very minor electrical stuff to blame for both.

  Mid-Life Crisis Car - 2001 Acura CL
  By J.B. - September 9 - 3:07 pm

  I recently purchased this red, 2001 Acura CL 3.2, 2 door coupe, Type S. I had a 1997 Camry for 10 years, which still ran excellently, but the suspension was degrading, and other things were starting to go wrong with it. So, I had heard the Acura was a "fancy" Honda, and took a look at this used one with only 47,000 miles. It was great, and so "zippy"! As a middle aged woman, who has always been sensible, I decided to go for it. What fun! I am really enjoying this car. I do have to watch out for the paint, as it seems to flaw easily. Also, I have heard the trannys are not the greatest, but so far so good with this one. And features!? It practically comes in and cleans the house!
