  Its Not A Legend - 2003 Acura CL
  By Matthew James Black - August 3 - 2:00 am

  The 2003 Acura 3.2CL Type S is much quicker than was my 1995 Legend it has a higher level of technology and it has greater convenience but its not a Legend. It doesnt have the big luxury car feel and road presence of the Legend. My wife complains that the Type S makes too much "boy noise" - - a fault my ears fail to detect -- but every morning its the car she takes to work, leaving the Lexus in the garage. Ive driven the car on two vacation trips this year and find that the power and handling are as good as one will find in a front-wheel drive sport coupe.

  The best for under $35,000.00 - 2003 Acura CL
  By JohnSandoval - July 29 - 2:00 am

  This car rocks! It really deserves a 9.5 rating. I have never driven a better car, but then again, I have never driven a Ferrari.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2003 Acura CL
  By JohnRascal - July 20 - 2:00 am

  The Acura CL-S, inside and out, has been carefully thought out in style, comfort, and luxury. Not an overly-built vehicle with unneeded or unnecessary knobs and "doo-dads" in the way to spoil the simplicity of design and use. This car has all the bare necessities and all the extra items built to fit the drivers and passengers needs for a comfortable ride. Owned mine without problem for 9 months -- without even a rattle or squeak. Marvelous vehicle!

  Fun, fun fun - 2003 Acura CL
  By jojay - July 10 - 2:00 am

  Love to drive the car. Had a 1990 Legend Coupe manual tran and loved it. My 2003 auto tran is almost as much fun and when in traffic, I can let it shift itself. Ive had no problems at all since I got the car in Oct 2002. Dealer is a pleasure to work with. I just bought my wife an 03 TL!

  No SUV for Me! - 2003 Acura CL
  By Dr.Citrus - July 8 - 2:00 am

  Time for a new car. I thought briefly of adding still another SUV to the roads. Then I remembered that I really did love to drive once upon a time. The Acura CL is a fast, fine handling car with excellent fit and finish. The styling is not exceptional, but the engineering definitely is. Convenience items like mirror defroster, seat heaters and plenty of concealed storage are welcome. My hockey sticks fit through the (unfortunately small opening from the trunk to the rear seats. Controls are logical and well placed. The AC is effective (though whiney at times).

  Class and magnificent workmanship - 2003 Acura CL
  By resedaruss - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Ive got over 7000 miles on it and it has been pure pleasure the entire time. In my neighborhood there are quite a few fancy cars yet when I bump into neighbors at gatherings they identify me as the guy with the Acura in the driveway. Everywhere I go--work, parking lots, store, etc.--Im constantly paid complements by strangers on how "beautiful" my red CL is. (I was afraid the police would attack a red car, but theyve left me alone.) Its a rare car that can outrun me (corvettes, V8 Mustangs, etc.) but I hang embarrassingly close to even those cars (for them). There are no rattles, no problems, handles like its on rails--I love it.

  manual cls - 2003 Acura CL
  By Jayhawk1 - June 13 - 2:00 am

  This is my second CL. The manual transmission with this engine really makes the car. Its very balanced, phenomenally quick and luxurious. It also appeals to a lot of sub-25 year olds which is surpising given the marketing Acura has provided. Too bad they didnt have the 6speed sooner or the car might have caught on to a wider audience. Its a goner this June.

  By van1 - June 13 - 2:00 am

  Just bought the car... so far so good... no complaints yet. the only thing that I havnt gotten used to yet is the driver seat... it feels like its too high.. i have it on the lowest possible level and it still seems high.

  BMWho? - 2003 Acura CL
  By Chaptorial - June 11 - 2:00 am

  This car has been nothing but a joy since the first day I picked it up at the dealership. The overall performance out of the 3.2 liter V6 is more than adequate for daily driving. The interior is laid out perfectly in my opinion with all the instruments in easy reach of the driver. Navigation with Onstar is great. For me the Five-speed automatic shifts perfectly by itself and when I feel the need to drop from 5th to 3rd on the highway, the Sport Shift option works great. Torque steer is minor. Overall you wont find all of these features anywhere for this price.
