  Refined Quality with a little Zip - 2001 Acura CL
  By teton_jumper - December 31 - 2:00 am

  The Type S is a beautifully constructed vehicle that exudes quality. The 260 HP gives the CL good punch, whether from a dead stop or while passing. I have owned several Mercedes and this vehicle is comparable as a road cruiser, but doesnt quite achieve the German road feel. The handling is a bit heavy, as would be expected from a front-driver. Overall, a comfortable and competent performer.

  Acura CL Premium 2001 - Fun Car - 2001 Acura CL
  By Firsttimeacuraowner - December 26 - 2:00 am

  Got my 01 CL Premium with 14K in 12/2000. As of 12/2002, I have 40K. Only problem Ive had is that the rotors had to be replaced. Steering, acceleration are fine, tranny shifts smoothly. I get 20/31 mpg. Seats are supportive. Visibility is good when checking over shoulder to change lanes. Main gripe: side-view mirrors are placed such that they obstruct your forward, side view when turning. Minor gripe: cup holders are poor - a medium iced- tea from the fast food shop can tip over if you have to make a mildly abrupt stop. Great car for the $ if you want something decent.

  In Love - 2001 Acura CL
  By suslea - December 20 - 2:00 am

  This is the best car Ive ever owned-- elegant, comfortable, AND reliable. I cried when some woman smashed me in the rear, and Im too spoiled to be happy in the rental car. Cant wait til my car is returned and I can drive in comfort and style again. Gets 26 to the gallon -- the dealer is super -- the ride is smooth as can be, and the handling is dreamlike.

  Great Midlife Crisis Car - 2001 Acura CL
  By bpats - November 28 - 10:00 am

  I put lots of miles on my car every year. I have taken the 3.2 over all the major and most minor roads in CA. The 3.2 is a blast to drive. It is quick, fast, and handles well. For fun try Hwy 36 from Scotia to Redding and you will see for yourself.

  This car is great! - 2001 Acura CL
  By LOveSpeed - November 16 - 10:00 am

  This car is great, I have had for over two years and only had one small problem. The electric seat memory gave out and was replaced very quickly. This car is really fast and I love the speed that I am getting. The gas mileage is running around 29mpg on the highway. The only other small issue is the rims and how easily they get scratched. Would recommend this car to anyone and everyone!

  Love it! - 2001 Acura CL
  By flipper - April 22 - 10:00 am

  Love this car. I did 6 mos of research and this is the best bang for the buck. Fun to drive, looks cool (black w/ aftermarket rims), and no mechanical problems at 15,000 miles.

  01 Acura at 15K - 2001 Acura CL
  By Lou Greenzweig - December 9 - 10:00 am

  This is a fantastic, reliable auto. Ive only done normal maintenance in the 15K Ive owned it. Handles extremely well, does 0-60 in 6.5 secs., gets 27 - 30 mpg on the road and is a pleasure on long trips. Hold two sets of golf clubs plus some luggage in the trunk. It certainly holds the road in wet and dry weather.
