  Failed Transmission at 138,000 Miles - 2001 Acura CL
  By adamsbauer - June 4 - 11:37 pm

  The car looks great and I really like the way it runs but I expect more than 138,000 miles from an Acura transmission. I wish Acura would have done more to help me but I am stuck with a car that has a lot of miles and will have a new transmission soon and I am out several thousand dollars. If I buy from the same company I will buy an Accord. No need to pay extra if they dont take care of you and their cars dont last.

  Most reliable vehicle ever... first love - 1998 Acura CL
  By smootherida - May 27 - 6:28 pm

  This car is and will always be my first love. First, the ride is incredibly smooth. It handles well for an expensive honda, and anywhere you drive it will feel like a great cruise. Also has some nice juice/kick to it. Second, she is built to last. With the exception of the transmission, which Ive had to replace 2 times, this vehicle took me through everything. I went through a snowstorm driving through Yosemite, Reno, and the Sierras in a span of 2 days (long story) and she never broke down on me during or even after the trip. I had her at 35k and drove her to 185k in 7 years. I have a new G37 coupe and I still wont give up my CL. It is that great of a ride.

  Now you see me... - 2001 Acura CL
  By Adam Hill - May 17 - 4:52 pm

  Ok honestly, I am a 22 year old male and I give this car hell in a handbasket. I live out in the country so the roads can feel my 260+ hp. I love this car. It sounds like a T-rex lives under my hood. From the line, automatic mode is probably faster than the manumatic but hey, nobody likes that anyway on any car. If you wanna shift all the time get a five speed its that simple. Car is really light for a 3.2 engine and is getting rarer by the month. No problems yet with mine and like I said I drive it like Mr. Hyde.

  Great car - 1998 Acura CL
  By AcuraLuvr - May 15 - 1:41 pm

  This is a fun car to drive. It has held up well against time. Very few problems, considering its age. People come up and ask me if this is a new car. The paint looks new. I hope to put a couple more hundred thousand miles on it!

  My ride - 2003 Acura CL
  By My ride - May 13 - 10:12 am

  I have had my Type S for a little over a year now. I love the sound of the engine. This is my second car in my lifetime the first one was an Acura Legend. They know how to make cars.

  Would Keep It Forever - 2001 Acura CL
  By gf - May 12 - 9:52 pm

  I keep hoping Acura will make another coupe like this. It still looks great and handles well at 91,000 miles. Im hoping it lasts 91,000 more. Its second transmission slips just a little on a quick shift, and theres rust on the bottom of the passenger- side door. The brakes have had a major overhaul. Our other car is a 2003 CTS, which I like just as well although the features differ.

  Not bad so far - 2003 Acura CL
  By Daily Driver - May 12 - 4:38 pm

  Purchased this car used with 72k mi on it. Over 12k later in a few months I really like the car. It gets average mileage for a v6 if I could just keep my foot off the pedal my personal mileage would be better but Ive gotten 26 - 27 mpg average from a few tanks. Its very comfortable and has a ton of leg room but limited head room at 61" as long as I keep the seat all the way down and slightly back its not a problem though. Great stock sound, trunk is huge, looks nice, similar to the accord but much much better. I worry a bit about the potential trans problem to surface but dont plan on keeping the car after the 107k mi extension of coverage. Would have gotten the manual type-s if I did it over.

  A Great Value for a Used Car - 1999 Acura CL
  By joe gonzo - March 25 - 6:10 pm

  We love the interior design of this car. It handles great on the open road and the Vtech has plenty of punch when you need it. This is our second Acura and the reason is their reliability. My Integra is ready to turn the odometer again and it still runs like a top. I do my own maintenence and these cars are easy to work on. The only problem with both cars is the radiator going bad but they are easy and cheap to replace. It doesnt cost 300 bucks to change the plugs either. By the way, the CL was designed and built in Ohio for those who think its an import and women really dig it.

  Great interior, enjoy the ride, great gas mileage average 24 mpg and I have a heavy foot. Previous cars: 98 xj8, 97 prelude,94 civic ex coupe, 84 crx, 82 firebird. Honda products by far the best.
