  Im very happy - 2003 Acura CL
  By Corehhi - March 4 - 2:00 am

  I actually have a 2001 CL and I have only had one problem with it. The sunroof rattled a little, about an hour to have it fixed. Fun car to drive and for the price I really dont see how you could go wrong. My one thought is something has changed since I bought mine. I have a Blue CL w/tan leather which seems to have only been offered the first year the model changed. I have no build quality issues at all. Also I bought my CL from Southern motors and so have a few poeple who live near me and I havent heard anyone one having a problem with their service dept. But on the other hand I havent used it much. Just my 2 cents.

  3.2CL Type S--Wonderful Vehicle - 2003 Acura CL
  By ejwe - March 4 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle has extremely comfortable seats and has a reasonably quiet interior. The interior is put together quite well with very few rattles or squeaks. The independent suspension soaks up potholes. The vehicle is responsive and appears to be very quick for a vehicle of this class. The exterior styling may be a bit dated for those who desire the latest new look. CDs sound clear and the base is great.

  Nuts and Bolts only - 2001 Acura CL
  By kcfox - March 3 - 2:00 am

  Why is the TL considered a gem yet the CL is only adequate. It is every bit as good as the TL. Smooth, sporty and luxury best define this auto. The v-6 is not for the timid.

  CL 6 speed after 6 months of driving - 2003 Acura CL
  By Jimmy Lee - February 28 - 2:00 am

  Overall, the 6 speed CL is an interesting car. The 6 speed adds a lot of fun to the car especially, the amount of power available during 3 and 4th gear. The feul economy is very good. It average gives me 310 miles/tank. The down side of the car is that the body is too high and the suspension is too soft. Comptech suspension kit is the rescue to the problem.

  Jack of all trades or a master of none? - 2003 Acura CL
  By cecil30 - February 26 - 2:00 am

  Before I bought this vehicle I was worried about the torque pull, its lack of refinement and its comparison to others in its class. After a test drive, I questioned it no more. The technical beauty of Acuras Limited slip differential took some getting used to, but it does behave much like a RWD sports car in its handling. The bottom line of this vehicle is that it successfully merges the best aspects of a FWD luxury sedan with the performance of a sports coupe. What a shame that this car is being d/cd. I hope that Acura doesnt shy away from this platform in the future.

  CL-S - Great Value for the Price - 2003 Acura CL
  By mbackus - February 26 - 2:00 am

  The Acura CL-S would be best called a "sleeper." The exterior styling is a bit bland, but once you are in the drivers seat the Acura takes on a whole new flavor. This automobile is truly fun to drive. While it wont meet the true driving enthusiasts needs (except perhaps with the 6-speed manual) this car has plenty of luxury and power to go around. The level of options included make the Acura a great value. The interior is cozy and comfortable with all switchgear close to hand. The Acura has a good sized trunk and would be a good choice as a touring car for a single person or a couple.

  Great CL - 2003 Acura CL
  By JimmyCL - February 25 - 2:00 am

  This is the best 2 door coupe on the market. The handling of my CL S-Type couldnt be better. It hugs the road like a sports car. The exterior is clean and sleek and very appealing to the eye. When you hit the throttle you are pinned to the seat, but just driving easy through town is a real joy too. The exhaust system sounds great, you not only feel the powerful V-6 you hear it too. I have had the car for 10 months without any problems. Just like a Honda, the reliability is the best. The Bose sound system provides a great place to listen to your favorite CD while driving on the open road. My next car most likely will be another Acura, Cl or RL.. Jim

  Im VERY happy! - 1997 Acura CL
  By Lisa11 - February 23 - 2:00 am

  I fell in love with the looks of the vehicle and had to have one. Acceleration is good for the 2.2 model, although I drop it into 3rd gear for quicker acceleration at take-off and for passing. I enjoy the solidness of the car and it handles well. Trunk space is great. Ive never kept a car this long but I believe Ill have a long and happy relationship with my CL and see how long it will run. Maintenance is not too pricey which is a big plus. I actually like the design on my 97 better than the newer ones and so do most of my friends.
