  Its a keeper! - 2002 Acura CL
  By rpb2 - September 2 - 2:00 am

  A fun vehicle to drive in the city and handles well on the open road. As in most coupes the rear seat is for looks only. The trunk is huge and most useful when traveling.

  Great car, great mileage, fun to drive. Some problems with a rattle in the dash, otherwise perfect.

  Heartbreaker - 1997 Acura CL
  By Radiomom - August 20 - 2:00 am

  Ive loved this car from the moment we test drove it. Ive babied it & always used the terrific dealer service). After 5 years, I have just had my first major mechanical problem, and its a biggie -- transmission. Im making the investment ($3600 - Acura chipped in with $900 off and a free rental) to keep it going for at least a few more years. The sound system is unmatched in any car Ive been in. Little things, like the leather starting to give on the seams, and the door on my glasses box (under the CD player) busting a hinge are my only annoyances. sigh. And that the transmission should go bad...

  dissapointed - 1997 Acura CL
  By ALJABR - August 15 - 2:00 am

  We bought this car used in 2000 (45,000 mi)and weve put about 32,000 miles on it since then. So far weve had a check engine problem-$250+ , a window motor failing- $300+, a bad alternator, $300+. This is not my idea of reliable. During the same time period Ive spent less than $300 fixing my 1989 Honda Accord (186,000 mi.) The tires are awfully expensive to buy for this car and hard to find. About $150-200 EACH. This car is definitely overrated.

  Love it but... - 1998 Acura CL
  By Honda4life - August 14 - 2:00 am

  Ive had the car for almost 2 yrs now, and I do truely love it. Only a couple problems, I have this annoying rattle noise in the dashboard, in happens when I go over rough road and I cant for the life of me find it. I also have an annoying metallic chatter from under the front-end when the car revs threw 1800rpm, sounds like it could be the heat shield, but I have checked it and its tight. And lastly it has developed a exhaust leak in the S-pipe, rusted out from what I can see. The car is only 4 yrs old. I am very disappointed at this, seeing as my previous car, a 93 Acura Integra GS went over 8 yrs and 100k miles before needing exhaust work.

  A Pleasure to Drive - 1999 Acura CL
  By Brianx - July 22 - 2:00 am

  I was able to purchase my 1999 CL last year with remaining factory warranty and since it was Certified, I got an extra year, for a total of 3.3 years total waranty. Not that I have needed to use the warranty, it is just nice to have it, just in case. The car only had 4500 miles on it and was in excellent condition. I have been extremely impressed with the ride, handling, power, and pick-up with this car. It easily out performs my 1996 Maxima. The Maxima could not even come close to this car in MPG. And, I do not have to use Premium fuel with the CL, like I didwith the Maxima. This model is a bargain, especially if you can get one that is Certified.

  Good News for CL Buyers - 2002 Acura CL
  By J Barnes - July 18 - 2:00 am

  After 5 miserable years with a SAAB 900, what a dramatic cahnge for the better. My 2002 Acura CL is a pleasure to drive. It is solid through and through, with none of the annoying rattle and squeaks of my SAAB. It is a very simple car to purchase as it includes almost every feature standard. The car has a very substantial feel to it, and has great acceleration and handling. The automatic is smooth, however the novelty of the sport-shifter has worn off and I rarely user this feature. The sound system is top notch. Its a pity I dont take it on the open road more often as the car is a pleasure to drive and own.

  This is an excellent car considering fit, finish and value for the dollar.

  Acura review - 2003 Acura CL
  By Chris6868 - July 4 - 2:00 am

  Soid vehicle, powerful, easy cruises at 80 MPH, so watch your speed! Headroom a little tight, headlights have a dark band right in front of the car which takes a little getting used to. Smooth drive and very quite. Suspension a little stiff when going over sharp bumps (such as speed bumps). Headroom in back a little on the small side.
