  Faulty Hub/Wheel Bearing Assembly - 1997 Acura CL
  By bkmitroy - May 19 - 2:00 am

  Purchased my Acura CL (2.2 Premium) with 44K Miles on it. I had regular maintenance done and vehicle was performing fine - till I hit 70K mi. I started hearing humming noice from up front. It gradually grew in intensity to the point where it is unbearble. I am at 72K mi. Dealer investigated issue and says hub/wheel bearings are worn out and I have to replace front wheel and bearing assembly for $900!!! I was shocked. This is my second Honda vehicle and I did not expect this from Acura. You pay a lot for Acuras because of the reliability factor - if you are not getting this, what is the point? Spoke to Acura, got a cold reply: Your vehicle is not in warranty.

  2.3 CL 1998 - 1998 Acura CL
  By docmaller - May 13 - 2:00 am

  Great combination of elegance, comfort, sporty performance and economy. Extremely reliable. Gets over 400 miles on a tank of gas on the open road, and honest 31 mpg, and at least 23 in the city.

  Not happy - 2003 Acura CL
  By nolec5 - May 13 - 2:00 am

  Have had the car since October of 2001 and have had the transmission replaced twice. Plenty of rattles. If I knew the car rattled this bad, I would have kept my Pontiac GTP. Looking to trade in very soon.

  DAMN!! Nice Car kid! - 1997 Acura CL
  By P. Fitzgerald - May 12 - 2:00 am

  My daughter bought this car used then left it at home when she went to college. I have been driving it in the mean time. I am no fan of japanese cars. I think they are over priced and over rated. BUT...this car is exceptional. It handles very well and accelerates with ease. It is one of the smoothest running cars Ive ever driven. I race a 5.0 Mustang in SCCA and this car is almost as fun to drive. It certainly has better road manners and leaves you looking forward to the next time you drive it. My only complaints...the nasty torque steer under hard acceleration, and the road noise (a little too much for a car in this class).

  2001 CL Type S - The perfect car - 2001 Acura CL
  By CLTypeSmacura - May 5 - 2:00 am

  I owned a 98 Acura and was sure Id never buy another Acura. That was until I saw the totally redesigned CL (2001 model). As soon as I saw it, I knew Id have to buy it. After I drove it, there was no chance id pass on this car. It handles amazingly, its incredibly fast and the price was perfect. I got all the features my friends had to pay close to $50K for in their BMWs and Mercedes. Only I had enough money left over to be able to afford flooring my car to blow them away. I love my Acura. I cant part with it.

  6 more ways to enjoy your car - 2003 Acura CL
  By elizabeth - May 4 - 2:00 am

  I purchased a 2002 Acura CLS in November and actually traded it in two weeks ago for the six speed! Not the smartest financial move but I love the 6 speed and have waited two years for something comparable to my previous Prelude. I have had six Preludes through the years and trying to find a replacement has been a challenge.
