  BMWho? - 2003 Acura CL
  By Chaptorial - June 11 - 2:00 am

  This car has been nothing but a joy since the first day I picked it up at the dealership. The overall performance out of the 3.2 liter V6 is more than adequate for daily driving. The interior is laid out perfectly in my opinion with all the instruments in easy reach of the driver. Navigation with Onstar is great. For me the Five-speed automatic shifts perfectly by itself and when I feel the need to drop from 5th to 3rd on the highway, the Sport Shift option works great. Torque steer is minor. Overall you wont find all of these features anywhere for this price.

  An Incredible Coupe! - 2003 Acura CL
  By Gidget - June 11 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 2003 Acura CL Type-S in Anthracite Metallic the day the model was released. I have been thrilled with this car. With the VSA and tighter suspension, you almost feel like youre driving a sports car. The handling is great, the interior is rich, the body is solid and the engine is quick. I do not believe there is a more luxurious, better performing car out there for the money (the ONLY option on this car is the navigation system).

  I Love My CL-S - 2001 Acura CL
  By Jersey Girl - June 11 - 2:00 am

  25,000 miles and not a single mechanical problem here. The car is a blast to drive and my bright red CL- Type S still gets envious looks! Its fast and smooth. Its easy to do 85 mph on the highway before you even realize it. The only complaints I have are a thin paint job...it seems to scratch and chip easily and noise from the moonroof if I leave the cover open. Other than that, I am an extremely satisfied customer. I would buy another Acura in a heartbeat!

  Bad Transmission - 2003 Acura CL
  By BadTransmission - June 7 - 2:00 am

  All 3.2s have bad transmissions. When ours went bad they had the car for 30 days. So many transmissions were bad on the car throughout the country that there were no parts in the states to repair the car. The problem with the transmission has never been resolved. When your transmission goes bad (and it is a matter of when not if) you receive a rebuilt transmission that has already gone bad and been "repaired". Rather than recall the car and remedy the problem, Acura extended the warranty on the transmission to 7 years/70,000 miles. This warranty extensions hide the real problem. THIS CAR HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

  Nice for Price - 2001 Acura CL
  By Kobe - June 6 - 2:00 am

  Really like the performance of this vehicle and the styling is far superior to earlier CLs. I am coming up on end of 3 year lease and may actually buy it. Only issue is minor quality issues such as sunroof, radio and faulty indicator lights.

  Wanna go for a drive? - 2003 Acura CL
  By Aegean_Blue6 - June 2 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this car for ~6 months now, and its been a blast to drive! Theres enough low-end torque to get you around for normal driving, but punch the throttle and youll be pressed into your seat! Theres a bit more body roll than there should be, but a $300 set of Comptech sway bars fixes that problem without significanly hurting ride quality. The press hates the styling, but I like it, and Ive gotten many great compliments about its appearance. Its classy, and can handle both a long road trip in comfort and a session on twisty mountain roads with confidence, while holding 4 people comfortably and all their gear in a good-size trunk!

  3.0 CL - 1997 Acura CL
  By Curry - May 27 - 2:00 am

  I am 17 and this is my second car...not a good start but whatever! i have lowered my CL 4" and have 18" wheels w/ high performance tires making the handling much better then it already was. This cars performance is great! Quick pick up and ive done a good 145 mph. So top speed isnt bad. Great stereo and looks! Overall i have been pleased with this car.
