  Jewel of a Ride - 1997 Acura CL
  By Len Morgan - July 20 - 9:46 pm

  Bought my stick 2.2 a year old with only about 8k miles. Only 65k NOW, due to driving 3 other cars, incl. a CRX and Prelude. (Certified Honda nut!). No significant maintenance or driveability problems, even after getting run off a mountain road into a big (life-saving) snowbank in December.

  Wonderful Acura - 1999 Acura CL
  By D Cohen - May 27 - 1:56 am

  This is a very unique car. It is outstanding to drive has comfort, power, acceleration, quietness, and yet, it is reliable. The styling is classy and attractive. The lines are classic and elegant. Love the beautiful rear styling. Everyone looks at this car and comments how they like it. It will never go out of style and has never been a problem. I wish other things in life were as reliable as this car and had such longevity. We are not selling our CL. No other new car can compare in quality, comfort, reliability, and technology.

  Amazing little car - 1997 Acura CL
  By Catx - May 24 - 3:22 pm

  I bought my 2.2. CL with 126k, two years ago. It is now at 164k, after a few road trips from California to Texas and back. Not to mention a dozen trips from Mcallen to Houston. Ive done all the regular services and the 150k major service. I have not had one problem, it starts and is ready to go at anytime. Great car, good fuel economy, and very reliable.

  Get one! - 1997 Acura CL
  By kalzone - May 19 - 9:06 am

  Ive always been a VW/Audi guy and recently bought a used 1997 CL 2.2 for about $1500. Best money I ever spent. I cant believe I got all these option in one package. Engines good. AC, power seats, sunroof, ABS, radio all work great. Plus its great on gas. It doesnt corner like an Audi or a VW but close. Has lotsa room and is built tight. VTEC engine performs great and literally sips gas. Why didnt I discover Acuras sooner? Only thing I changed was a ball joint. You can pick these CLs up now for about 2grand and you wont be disappointed. Its a mixture of luxury and performance. Its not a Beemer but is much better than an Accord. My advice, get one!

  6sp Manual type S - 2003 Acura CL
  By tom - May 11 - 11:50 pm

  Incredibly fun car to own and drive. Beautiful and high quality interior, especially considering the price. Seats grip your sides and hold you in during hard turns. Smooth and quick shifting 6 speed manual. This car is fast too.

  This car delivers - 1999 Acura CL
  By gabi76 - April 20 - 8:38 pm

  Bought this car with 110k on it for 4k. I put on it 70k miles in 3 years and the only "big" investment has been a set of tires and brakes. Still drives like the day I bought it. Dont intend to sell it. Ill never regret the purchase.

  Very Reliable - 1999 Acura CL
  By acuraowner - March 15 - 1:22 pm

  Purchased this car new in 99 and has been the most reliable car Ive owned. I get it serviced at scheduled intervals. Drivers side auto window feature has failed. Brakes and rotors seem to need replacing more often than normal. Currently have 95K miles. Repairs so far: brakes and rotors - twice, auto window control, brake caliper leak, brake & headlights, timing belt... Not too bad in 10 years.

  A very reliable but fun car - 1999 Acura CL
  By Ian S. - January 25 - 2:03 pm

  I bought my 1999 CL 2.3 because I needed something reliable coming from a BMW. Unfortunately, my CL was in poor condition, but I got a great deal on it. To my surprise, it was in excellent mechanical condition. A little bit of elbow grease quickly brought its appearance back to life. The first thing I noticed was the excellent quality of the paint and interior materials. I couldnt believe how resilient the leather and carpet was. The paint is beautiful after some heavy buffing and the car looks new after a thorough cleaning! Mechanically, I have had zero problems. The transmission shifts smooth and engine sounds like new. I would highly recommend this car.

  Love this car - 2001 Acura CL
  By acurafun - December 28 - 5:19 pm

  I bought this a few months ago bc of the low miles and i must say I love everything about it and will prob own this for another 100k miles. I bought an extended warranty but doubt I will ever use it. I replaced an 04 TL and must say this car is older but much better and I am so glad I went used with Acura.

  New to this Acura - 2002 Acura CL
  By Nuggets2008 - December 17 - 12:00 am

  I just bought Acura CL 2002 base model with only 35,000 original miles. It was a lease in FL and I live in Co. So this car was taken care of. It is a very smooth car with a lot of power. I came from a 1992 Acura GS, which I was hit an ran on but survived to tell this story. Overall its a very smooth and comfortable ride with nice luxury features.
