  Quality at a reasonable price - 2001 Acura CL
  By v maggio - January 6 - 5:11 pm

  Fun and comfortable to drive. Gets over 30 mpg on long trips. While the rear seat is comfortable it is not easy to get in and out.

  1 year later...still pleased - 2001 Acura CL
  By Ryan - December 29 - 1:15 pm

  Bought used with about 42K miles on it. Couldnt be happier with the vehicle for the price I paid. Runs great, good speed, love the heated seats, navigation system rules. Being the first experience with a foreign car, I am very pleased. We hope to upgrade to a MDX in a few years. For the money and options included, this is a steal compared to a Lexus.

  It costs how much to fix?!?! - 1997 Acura CL
  By McKenzieint - December 9 - 6:28 pm

  I bought the car used with 89,000 on it. Ive owned it since 2001 and now have 174,000. Had to replace the transmission at 150,000 ($2700) the window motors have gotten slow, but the sunroof still seems to be like new. The EGR has set off the Check engine light, the ABS light comes on and stays on, and the SRS light for the airbags has been on since about 3 months after I bought it. Ive checked in to fixing these items and I might as well buy a new one.

  Satisfies all your wants - 1997 Acura CL
  By Nerdboy - November 29 - 11:41 pm

  I originally bought this car because itcost $4,000 less than a comparable usedAccord Coupe and much better drive thana Camry Solara. Now that Ive had thecar for a year, I know I made the rightchoice. This car is ultra-smooth on thehighway. In the city, its veryresponsive and has a stiff ride, but nottoo harsh. It has all the features Ineed and they all work well except forthe ac/heater which is a little slow. On the down side, this car is hard topark in tight spaces because of itslarge turning radius, but this helps itsstability. The auto is a bit jerky, butsmooth if you accelerate fast enough. The only thing Ive had to fix is thepower window motor so far.

  I would rather go back to my BMW328CI - 2001 Acura CL
  By Type-S - November 6 - 12:52 pm

  Transmission problems, check engine light constantly comes on, and loud sunroof, and slight rattles. I wish I had kept my old BMW328CI which had over 140k miles and never had any of these problems that my Acura CL with only 60,000 miles have. I have heard/read that the better Acura CLs were the 1997 to 1999. My co-worker has a 1997 CL 3.0 and never had any problems with it and has over 110,000 miles on it. You get a far better car for the money you pay for a BMW 3 series.

  Bone Stock 15.6 with junk in the trunk - 2001 Acura CL
  By walt by default - November 2 - 2:00 am

  My brother told me not to test drive it. My wife said "get what you want, the boys have their cars, I have mine, you dont have to get a four door family sedan." What a wonderful wife. This is a great car. It is very very fast and very very comfortable. I am 61" tall and weigh 290# and this car is one of the few that accomodates my height and girth with the standard leather drivers seat. My oldest sons Tiburon is slightly tricked out and he turns 15.9 at Capital Raceway in Crofton. I turned a 15.6 after learning how to master the racing tree lights. I had a full sized spare, two 17" rims and a set of clubs in the trunk when I did it. Not bad.

  wow! BEST DEAL IN TOWN - 2001 Acura CL
  By paganpink - September 30 - 2:00 am

  The type S begs to be driven in a sporty manner, but has a comfortable ride at any time. I highly recommend several basic changes that will awaken this incredible car 1, Buy the AEM cold air intake,(2-3 hundred).The increase in performance is amazing,10- 15 horsepower, and the 2nd intake opening at 5k RPM in the S engine sounds absolutely incredible.2.Buy the Eibach springs (2-3 hundred.)Hugely improves handling at all speeds with no loss of ride quality! Giving it a more aggressive appearance and keeping it glued to the turns. 3. Buy a 75 horse shot of nitrous (7-8). Engine computers will never let it run lean, and you now outrun BMWs,350z,V-8 Camaros,&
