  Refined Quality with a little Zip - 2001 Acura CL
  By teton_jumper - December 31 - 2:00 am

  The Type S is a beautifully constructed vehicle that exudes quality. The 260 HP gives the CL good punch, whether from a dead stop or while passing. I have owned several Mercedes and this vehicle is comparable as a road cruiser, but doesnt quite achieve the German road feel. The handling is a bit heavy, as would be expected from a front-driver. Overall, a comfortable and competent performer.

  Acura CL Premium 2001 - Fun Car - 2001 Acura CL
  By Firsttimeacuraowner - December 26 - 2:00 am

  Got my 01 CL Premium with 14K in 12/2000. As of 12/2002, I have 40K. Only problem Ive had is that the rotors had to be replaced. Steering, acceleration are fine, tranny shifts smoothly. I get 20/31 mpg. Seats are supportive. Visibility is good when checking over shoulder to change lanes. Main gripe: side-view mirrors are placed such that they obstruct your forward, side view when turning. Minor gripe: cup holders are poor - a medium iced- tea from the fast food shop can tip over if you have to make a mildly abrupt stop. Great car for the $ if you want something decent.

  Acura quality is going down - 2003 Acura CL
  By mad cls owner - December 23 - 10:00 am

  First off, I love the engine, transmission, and the seats. The car accelerates well, and the ride is firm, but comfortable. The handling is pretty good for a car of this weight. What has diminished my enjoyment of the car are the various squeaks and rattles coming from the dash, passenger side seat, sunroof, and the rear of the car. This is not something I expected from an over $31,000 car. It only has 1860 miles on the odometer. Hopefully my dealer can fix these annoying problems. My Acura Integra GSR had no such problems early in its life. I will think twice before I buy another Acura.

  Great little car!!!!!! - 1999 Acura CL
  By Okay - December 22 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this little 2.3CL for 4 months and i love it! It has been easy to take care of, drive and maintain. It is "cute" (couldnt think of a better word-sorry) but classy. If i had to do it over again id do it in a heart beat. The only thing to complain about is the lack of power but if i wanted that i would have bought a GT.

  Great value!!!! - 1997 Acura CL
  By rcthornton - December 21 - 2:00 am

  The CL is a great car! I bought mine about 3 years ago with 50k on it, now I have 95k. No problems at all, just your basic maintenance. The car handles wonderfully for a luxury car. Best of both worlds, all in one package! I would buy another one if I was to sell it.

  In Love - 2001 Acura CL
  By suslea - December 20 - 2:00 am

  This is the best car Ive ever owned-- elegant, comfortable, AND reliable. I cried when some woman smashed me in the rear, and Im too spoiled to be happy in the rental car. Cant wait til my car is returned and I can drive in comfort and style again. Gets 26 to the gallon -- the dealer is super -- the ride is smooth as can be, and the handling is dreamlike.

  Luv this car - 1999 Acura CL
  By Rose - December 13 - 2:00 am

  Going from a 87 Volvo this car is a breath of fresh air. Great gas mileage400+/tank). All I have to do is change the oil. I think its saved my life a few times by being able to swerve out of the way. Would recommend this to anyone! PS Ilike having only one of six in my city. It makes me stand out! :)

  CL-S rocks - 2003 Acura CL
  By 6onthefloor - December 10 - 2:00 am

  I wanted a sport-luxury combo in the $30-35k range. I live in the snow belt so I also wanted fwd or awd. Drove Audi A4, Volvo S60, Maxima, Infiniti G35 (rear wheel drive but had to check it out). All very fine cars, but the CL just suited me best. Im 63", and headroom is barely enough but comfortable. Leg room in the front is great. 6 speed manual tranny rocks.

  Its a very good car. Fuel economy is not great. But the quality is very good. The engine is smooth and powerful. The ride is very smooth. The features are great.

  By Shahram - December 4 - 2:00 am

  I love my CL type S. It is fast and it is powerful. Much better than BMW, Mercedez, Audi, for the price you pay. love the navigation system. Its much better than BMWs navigation system.
