  Great Car! - 2003 Acura CL
  By bradleybradley - February 23 - 2:00 am

  Bought a 2003 when they came out. Great car, bulletproof so far. Gotta love a Honda. We went with the Acura as you basically get one upgrade in chassis at the same price, namely the Corolla chassis (IS300) at Lexus costs more than the larger Accord based car (CL or TL) at Acura. Lexus was just comparatively over-priced.

  Best possible car for $21,850! - 1999 Acura CL
  By ohcello - February 20 - 2:00 am

  Bought car at the end of 1999 when they were bringing in the new body style. Sticker was $26,800 and they sold it for $21,850. I have put a lot of hard miles on this car and they only problem I have had was some bent rims (NY roads are terrible!). The tranmission holds on for dear life and does not want to shift but you get used to it. Other than that, this car is perfect! Engine is very smooth and when pushed, this car responds. This car is at its best at high speeds on the highway, where its road manners are very impressive. Not much more to say, just a great car.

  New Transmission for 2004 CLs - 2001 Acura CL
  By masm07 - February 19 - 2:00 am

  It is a fact that Acura has identified and stands behind their warranty on the sportshift but if their goal is to compete with BMWs 3 Series they need to engineer a transmission that will withstand the 260 horses that the CL Type S produces. Yes, it can be a fun car but my tranny went out at 29,000 miles, so what if you get new one...if this is such a great car then why not build one designed for engine. Thumbs down on the tranny, I am disappointed with this vehicle and will think long and hard before I purchase another Acura product. I hope there are some Acura engineers reading this review. That is why BMW 3 series still leads the pack.

  I thought Acura meant reliability!! - 2003 Acura CL
  By Husband - February 16 - 2:00 am

  Dont get me wrong...this car is fun to drive and performs great..when it is running, that is. After only 1700 miles, my brand spanking new Acura was in the shop for over 3 weeks. The dealership had to replace the short block on the engine AND brake rotors. I think their quality control guy must be sleeping. Once a car has engine work, I dont consider it a new car. Very very disappointed with Acura, their answer, and the overall experience. I was a repeat customer. Will now re- evaluate them for future purchases.

  Ill buy them again and again - 1997 Acura CL
  By Mike from Buffalo - February 6 - 2:00 am

  When I purchased the CL prem.w/ a stick, three years old with 33k on the odometer. I now have 104k and have had very little trouble with this car. Im still on the orginal front brakes, I replace the back at 97k. I replaced a window lift at 95k for $220, muffler at 60k, alignment at 80k for $60. I am amazed at this vehicle and am buying a new TL this spring only because of the new baby coming in June (back door-babyseat). I will always drive Acura

  My Acura CL-S - 2003 Acura CL
  By wayne129 - February 5 - 2:00 am

  So far its been the best vehicle ive ever driven. Fun, fast, powerful, sexy, the CL-S coupe has it all. Only downside...get rid of Bose! I will be adding after-market Alpine HU and JL Audio speakers and amps.

  this car with a manual stickshift and tighter shocks would be the perfect drive.
