  How can you drive this car slow?? - 2003 Acura CL
  By stejus - May 19 - 2:00 am

  Just picked up a 2003 CL Type-S a week ago and I love it. Had to put it in storage until April when the warm weather returns (Winter in Massachusetts too much!). I cant believe the power under the hood of this car. I traded in a MR2 which I thought had power, but this Acura CL TypeS is twice as fast off the line! Cant wait for spring to arrive!

  CL MEANS VALUE - 2003 Acura CL
  By mac wall - May 19 - 2:00 am

  Value is not a meaningless word to me and I translate it into my word with virtually everything. When it comes to autos, the Acura TV and CL simply beat the competition hands down. The BMW, the Lexus, the Audi and Volvo want to compete but they fall short in drive, fit and finish and performance. The CL could be light years ahead with so little attention on the part of designers. Why create a car that wins the VALUE competition yet let some other areas fall so short?

  Best Value on the Road - 1999 Acura CL
  By Roger - May 14 - 11:33 pm

  I was unemployed when I had to buy a car. For $17K I bought a car with 19K on it, which has leather and heated seats, a spoiler, good acceleration, a moonroof, fantastic reliability, and holds its value. No other car has this combination for that kind of price. To think that I could have bought a new boring Corolla for the same price! Its so reliable that I did waste the extra $800 I paid for an extended warranty. I put in 64K miles on it. Only problem was an alternator that had to be replaced after it suddenly died on me. Not one other thing went bad.

  4 1/2 years and still going - 2001 Acura CL
  By Wilbur - May 10 - 11:26 am

  I have owned several Hondas as well as a previous Acura Integra, so I had no reservations about purchasing my CL Type S. I had the transmission issue that weve all had, but Acura backed it up without issue. I have since only had a seat belt issue, again under warranty, and have only gone through 1 set of tires and a battery. The reliability I expect from an Acura. My fiancee has a Mercedes C230 coupe which she has driven 10K miles and were already considering selling it and keeping the CL until we drive it into the ground. It was a great buy 4 1/2 years ago and is still a great buy as a pre-owned car.

  Brilliance in Black - 1999 Acura CL
  By Blacura - April 12 - 6:20 pm

  I have owned multiple Hondas, and traded in a 1994 Accord EX to get the Acura. I have also owned a smattering of vehicles, all purchased used. This one is, by far, the superior car. Basic maintenance only, and still commands attention around town. The interior never fails to please anyone it surrounds.

  Best buy we ever made in a used car - 2001 Acura CL
  By Myrtle Young - February 26 - 4:31 pm

  Bought this vehicle used from a private party using Edmunds guide. It was in impeccable shape and has held its value. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone although there has been one major expense to date, a power inverter for the headlights. It handles so well and has been a joy to own.

  First Impressions - 2003 Acura CL
  By Just John - February 24 - 2:00 am

  From BMW to Saab to Honda to an 03 Acura CL-S. Performance and fun to drive are tops. Exterior design is not unique but than again that doesnt matter to me. This is one great driving vehicle on the open road which is becoming as extinct or sitting on the expressway???? heading to downtown Chicago!!!!

  power, comfort and reliability - 2003 Acura CL
  By ronald G - February 17 - 5:23 pm

  I bought the S version (autoamtic shift) of this car because it was far sportier than other cars in its class. The standard equipment is extensive. The interior is far more elgant than other cars in its class, unless you buy add-ons to the other cars. Very supportive seats. excellent stereo.
