  CL Type-S is a great car...realize it - 2003 Acura CL
  By rooktobishop - May 4 - 2:00 am

  Its been almost a year since I bought my red 03 CL-S. It replaced a 99 VW Passat GLS V6 that was simply poorly built and was simply a piece of junk. I try to own my cars for 7 years, but the VW had other ideas. I traded it in for the CL and this car is GREAT. I can own and drive this for 7 years-easy! Its quality all the way around and performs extremely well. I saw another review complain about mileage, for me the fuel economy is great, better than I expected: c19-20 and h32 in most cases...I try not to put my foot into the gas too often, which is easy to do because the car is so eager to get going. I highly recommend this car.

  2001 Acura cl-s - 2003 Acura CL
  By dragone - April 28 - 2:00 am

  A beautiful car inside and out. Very comfortable for two, back seat not for anyone over 510" or over 50 years old. Its not as difficult as most two door coupes of its size to get into and out of the rear seats because of the automatic drive of the front seats to the full forward position. My 63 year old mother would tell you differently, however. As for performance, its got a very strong pull starting at around 3800 rpm and doesnt let up till the redline. And that exhaust tone is beautiful when pushed. Id like to have a more control of the steptronic tranny in first gear. Interior materials are excellent in my opinion.

  Best buy for the money - 2001 Acura CL
  By Ampher - April 27 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this car for three years. Overall a great car. The sunroof has a fluttering noise the dealer has never been able to fix. The sunroof doesnt open very far. But the sunroof being my only complaint, must be a great car!

  Excellent Car - 1997 Acura CL
  By DKB30 - April 25 - 2:00 am

  This is the best car Ive ever owned. Extremely reliable, looks great even after 6 years and 120000 miles, sporty yet roomy.

  A Beautiful Ride - 1997 Acura CL
  By Melanie Daniels - April 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 3.0 Premium CL new in 97, and it still looks stunning in the driveway. Friends (male) have driven it and spontaneously commented on its truly amazing handling. This car has fantastic road feel and a smooth ride. The CL has enough power at 20-40 mph to scoot you safely into your lane change in city traffic with no sweat. The six speaker BOSE audio system is crystal clear with beautiful dymanics, and its more than loud enough to hear above freeway noise on the way to the beach. There is also enough head, shoulder and leg room in the rear seat to comfortably accomodate two adults. Six years and not one problem.

  What a wonderful coupe! - 2003 Acura CL
  By TheDream21479 - April 9 - 2:00 am

  This is my first Acura vehicle in a long time (last one was a 1997 NSX which I still own) and though Ive not even had it a week, the car is wonderful! My other car is a 2001 BMW 330Ci so I can offer direct comparison to them. The Type-Ss sonorous, rev- happy V6 is AWSOME...the the 5spd auto is no manual, its not bad! The Acura blows the BMW away as far as standard features go. As far as driving, the Acura isnt as fun to drive nor is it as tossible as the BMW but overall is much more comfortable. The build quality is good, but the interior materials are nowhere near the quality or as appealing as the BMWs.

  I love my CL. - 2003 Acura CL
  By danny25 - April 9 - 2:00 am

  The CL is fun to drive whether youre cruising the highway, or racing down the track. There are faster cars to buy, but the CL is a great combination of luxury and performance.

  CL Type S - 2003 Acura CL
  By RKeatF1 - April 7 - 2:00 am

  We have our CL 3 years this forth of July. Dead Ass reliable! Lots of power, comfort. No problems other than squeeking at the sunroof. Fixed by the dealer. Treated very weel at the Dealership. Style of the front end is a little dull.

  Fast, solid coupe - 2003 Acura CL
  By bobc0944 - April 2 - 2:00 am

  Traded in a Porsche 968 for a CL Type-S 6spd. Can drive this just as fast if not faster, sticks well, neutral right up to breakaway,very confidence-building. Only..wish for less body roll, better headroom (Im 6-0, have to sort of duck), sunroof baffle doesnt baffle, just buffets, and did I mention headroom.

  Price-performance ratio gets no better - 2003 Acura CL
  By despair - March 31 - 2:00 am

  A $30,000 car with the luxury and features of a vehicle far more expensive. The CL has enough power to make extended highway driving as much of a breeze as peeling away from stoplights, but sacrifices not an ounce of driver comfort for that performance. From the heated leather seats to the (admittedly gimmicky) shiftable autotransmission, this car as all about giving you that in-command feeling, at a price you can actually afford.
