  Unreal Unreal - 2001 Acura CL
  By Awesome - August 17 - 7:42 pm

  I must say it handles and rides better then 99% of the vehicles I have driven. Very reliable, very fast, very well built, no complaints. Resale is wonderful and so is gas mileage. BUY ONE

  Worth the wait! - 2003 Acura CL
  By pmok - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Waiting for the 6-speed manual is definitely worth it! The shifting is easy to handle, and acceleration is terrific. Im usually going 80 MPH before I know it. The seats are very comfy, but its not a car meant for more than a driver and a passenger. Spacious trunk and easy to use in-dash 6-disc changer.

  Acura 3.2CL S Type Review - 2001 Acura CL
  By Edd Moss - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Car is fun to drive as it is agile and responsive with the bonus of good gas mileage. The car comes with what would be options in other cars and the value is the best in the industry, price to quality.

  The S-type is a hoot to drive. Excellent performance and cornering ability. The auto shift works well and get the job done. Gas milage is in the 25 mpg range overall. very quite overall with a nice growl from the duel exhaust. The only issues are the 6 cd changer jams up but then the problem clears up later in the day and the stock tires are sub par.

  Good Car, Not So Good Tranny - 1998 Acura CL
  By Tim - July 7 - 11:39 pm

  Bought the car from a local Acura dealer with 66k miles in Feb 2004 (3.0 premium). Car was (then) mechanically perfect and ran flawlessly. Now at 85k, the tranny is slipping and has been periodically for the last 10k miles. Fortunately, I have a warranty that will replace it. Wish I could drop a 5-speed but the cost would be around 8-10k, way too much money. So except for the one huge problem, this car is fantastic. Build quality is typical Honda, interior has held up great, very nice all around. Im actually thinking of getting a 2.3 stick as a 2nd vehicle.

  Ode to the CLs - 1998 Acura CL
  By MB Finck - June 29 - 4:08 pm

  I am a huge fan of my Acura CL. I was really disappointed when the line was discontinued. With under 115k on it, I cant see any reason to trade it in for at least another 85k miles. Was originally wanting the Honda Accord which had just been redisgned, but because of extended backlogs ... I looked at the Acura CL instead. It was fate ... I have been loving my car ever sense.

  This is the best value in the entry- luxo market. Exceptional power delivery. Really takes off after 4200 rpms. Nice exhaust note,smooth supple ride,torque steer is controlled with decent road feel through the steering wheel. The car has a solid build quality and interior ergonomics arewell thought out.

  love it - 1997 Acura CL
  By Max - June 23 - 4:19 pm

  owned this car from new, very reliable. 73k miles, done all maintenance...warranty replaced computer in first year after erratic cold idle. michelin tires dry rotted after 36k, same happened to next michelins. continental extreme contacts at almost half the price seem great after 7k miles. after tune-up at 7 years 57k the emission system needed warranty cleaning. driver window motor replaced a few years ago. everything else done was routine maintenance, never a problem, great car. prefer honda dealer for work over acura for all reasons. will need muffler soon, parts are expensive.

  Mild mannered, got it where it counts - 2001 Acura CL
  By Meike - June 22 - 6:55 pm

  This car has been great. It always does what it should, and when I need it. Fun to drive, comfortable for long weekend driving. Style is clean and impressive, whenever someone gets in it they ask what is it?

  Super Car - 1999 Acura CL
  By Kendall - June 22 - 2:15 am

  I have had my 3.0 for 3 years now and I love it! It has 125,000 miles now and is still running great. The A/C is stuck on though and wish it didnt have digital temperature controls because there is no way of turning it off. We have only had to replace the motor in the drivers window and the timing belt (normal maintenance though for a car with more than 100k). Great commuter car and fun to drive I wouldnt change a thing! Also great sound system and the leather seats are holding up great!
