  smart alternative to new car - 1997 Acura CL
  By Duce68 - January 30 - 2:00 am

  All the reliablity youd expect in a compact, nice looking package with top notch materials. After 10k miles with this car, I havent been happier.

  The Acura 3.0CL Premium -Simply the Best - 1998 Acura CL
  By Kevin T. - January 29 - 2:00 am

  This is a stunning car. It is my first car and driving it is actually fun and incredible. The performance and is outrageous because it incorporates the same basic engine form the NSX. The car is very solid and easily takes corners at high speeds. The interior is well-equipped with the premium package. Surprisingly the front and back seats offer a comfortable seating area for a small coupe. The Bose sound system is high quality and sounds great. There is an unbelievable amount of trunk space. This car is very well-built and high quality. It is definitely a good buy and very reliable with the Acura/Honda name. I love mine and will say it is the best in my school parking lot.

  My Sexy Black CL - 1998 Acura CL
  By Jeremiah - January 25 - 2:00 am

  I got my CL in Nov. of 2002 from Minnesota and drove it back home to Seattle with my girlfriend. The car was great. Very comfortable over the two days, smooth and a total kick to drive through the twisty mountain roads near Mt. Rushmore. (Even though I got my first ticket ever after driving it only 2 hours...doh!) Overall, Ive been very pleased with my new car. The fuel economy is great, the 5-speed is smooth and notchy, and since upgrading the tires to 225/45 Yokohamas it handles even better. I love my car! My only gripes are that the side panels sometimes buzz due to the bass in some of my music and one of the chrome tips of the exhaust pipes came loose.

  Unreliable Disappointment - 1997 Acura CL
  By Brian DC - January 22 - 2:00 am

  My CL 3.0 has 77K miles on it, and has had numerous repairs since the warranty expired including bad alternator ($300+), bad transmission (remanufactured $2500+), check engine emissions($250). Parts are expensive for this car. What has happenned to Acura reliability? This will be my last Acura. I will purchase a long extended warranty if I ever were to get a Honda/Acura product again. Also this car has developed a LOT of noisiness and squeaks in the last few years. The CL is great for highway drives, comfortable and fast on the highway. Has a nice set of standard options and great V6 engine.

  Works for me! - 2001 Acura CL
  By uhh - January 18 - 6:33 pm

  This was my first "real" car, so perhaps Im biased, but I am still in love with my 2001 CL 19 months later. It handles wonderfully, the amenities are very nice, and the power blows away everything in its price range. (except the Maxima, which cant touch the amentities/value) Personally, I can forgive Acura for the cheesy fake-wood; its not a big deal to me. But I am a little disappointed with the steering wheel controls for the radio, and the fact that my brakes and tires are already shot.

  Great Value, but you get what you pay 4 - 2001 Acura CL
  By BrianV - January 7 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car new with navigation. Front seats are sporty but get uncomfortable after long trips. Back seat has lots of legroom but the seats arent comfortable at all. Exhaust note is nice. Bose stereo is pretty bad for a Bose (no highs, no lows, it must be Bose really is true here). 5spd gearing is good, but the actual transmission is quite bad. It doesnt shift smootly at all, and there is major lags on the manumatic mode. Interior build quality needs attention, this thing rattles and it wasnt even a year old.
