  Nice car - 1997 Acura CL
  By ayee - June 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car new since 1997. It currently now has 161000. I get around 24 mpg. My only complain is that the electrical system has problems over the years, such as bad starter, alternator, ignitor, to name a few.

  Clutch problem - 2003 Acura CL
  By INUD - June 24 - 2:00 am

  This car was a great car for 30,000 miles, until the clutch went out. I babied this car. I had no warning of a clutch failure, no slippage at all. Riding on a flat raod and went to shift and the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. Thats all she wrote. cloast me $800+. Have had lots of manual shifts and this was a first for me. Also have had trouble with the home link.

  2003 CL Type S 6-Speed Stick Red/Tan - 2003 Acura CL
  By Red Rocket - June 3 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car for its high reliability (per Consumer Reports), safety (assuming same www.iihs.org crash worthiness as Honda Acord), performance (270 HP, clutch with very narrow sweet spot and 6-speed gear ratios), fun (VTEC sound/growl), styling (classic), winter traction (front wheel drive) and value (under $30k).

  Not Bad But not good enough to be Acura - 2003 Acura CL
  By dj1billion - May 23 - 2:00 am

  I know I didnt buy a civic but, daggggg the gas mileage sucks!!! I swear that when I get on it I see the gauge move and that wouldnt be so bad if it took reg. gas. But other than that know problems!

  A Sleeper - 2003 Acura CL
  By Old Duffer - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Car was delivered in perfect condition. Finish and mechanicals all done well! Comfortable to drive, quiet, excellent sound system, handles well. Big trunk. 3.2 (not Type S) is a little shy on mid-range torque for spirited highway driving but is fine for touring and accepts 89 octaine witrh no complaints.

  My first new/used car - 1997 Acura CL
  By Player A - May 12 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car used. Drives well, although the turning radius could be tighter. Very reliable. Got 29mpg while traveling interstate 24mpg in the city. Changing oil couldnt be easier with this car. My first Acura, definately not my last.

  Best FWD coupe - 2002 Acura CL
  By Jian Sun - May 5 - 2:00 am

  Great power with great gas milage using sportshift (up to 50 miles more than autoshift out of a full tank). Right door does not line up with body. Dealer made some improvement but clearly a building quality issue. Overall, body (not wheel base) is too long and not tall enough. Great value and no complaints for anything else.

  The Dreamy Type-S - 2001 Acura CL
  By DMB Tampa Fan - April 26 - 2:00 am

  I looked at other cars on the market, but for the money and the features that this car has to offer, it was a no brainer! The only option was the navigation system - everyting else was included! Heated seats and mirrors, sunroof, and not one but two memory keys, and the list goes on! What other car company offers all these extras in the base model. Acura has found the right combination of luxury and the fun to drive sports car! It is a dream to drive! You will not be disappointed!

  Its a blast to drive - 2003 Acura CL
  By kujhawk1 - April 17 - 2:00 am

  The six speed manual is a dream to drive, it was definitly worth the wait. The short throw shifter is smooth and quick. The engine is very strong, Im just at 250 miles on the engine so Im still taking it easy but sometimes you just cant resist planting your foot and getting thrown back into your seat!
