  Reliable & Sporty at almost 10 yrs! - 1999 Acura CL
  By JJ - October 19 - 3:00 pm

  I got a 99 CL in 02 as a certified used car, giving up my 91 Prelude. My CL is a step up in size, luxury (leather) and nice power accessories! It doesnt corner as tight as a Prelude, but its sporty-looking & very reliable. Consumer Reports continues to list it every year as one of its best used car values. Mine has never given me any problems, still has a smooth ride, & feels comfortable and roomy for long trips. I wish there were a 4 cyl. luxury coupe out there now from Honda or Acura to compare to it! Mileage is pretty good-about 28 highway, and mid 20s city. My CL is almost 10 years old but I wont get rid of it, since theres nothing else in a 4 cyl luxury coupe to compare to it.

  You dont need the bling for luxury - 1999 Acura CL
  By dmitzah - October 8 - 2:13 am

  I bought this car private party from the second owner. Continually maintained by specialist shop. Low miles for a 9 year old car (87k). This car is pretty awesome. It has loads of power to spare, its super comfortable, takes the bumps pretty well, and its fairly quiet. If you drive a lot, this car will take a lot of road wear off YOUR body. I drive a lot on the freeway, and I dont even feel the effects. Its a pleasure to drive and has a lot of support in the leather seats. Im 6ft tall too, and the backseats arent too shabby. Really, if you want luxury or a comfy ride, this car is it and its priced well. BMWs, Benz and VWs are good, but you cant beat this price.

  Disappointed - 1999 Acura CL
  By Wil-Mem - August 11 - 2:24 pm

  My wife loves the car but Im very disappointed with trans. After driving an 86 Caravan and a 98 Buick LeSabre for over 300k miles each with never a trans service, I was certain this Acura would do the same. Wrong. Now it slipping on up-shift & down-shift. Brake pads & rotors do not hold up well. Had to replace left window roll- up device. Poor mileage for a 3.0L. Drivers seat memory has failed even after the seat motor & other items were replaced by Acura. Steering wheel radio controls correctly operate intermittently. Radio was replaced but did not help the problem. White paint is poor on metal parts but worse on bumpers.

  Parked the full size truck that gets 13 mpg getting 27-32 mpg with the cl. Solid to drive as well as fun. Couldnt be happier with the purchase

  Bulletproof 99 CL 3.0 - 1999 Acura CL
  By azavocat - June 25 - 5:50 pm

  Bought this car new and its been bulletproof ever since. Nothing but routine maintenance. The ride, handling and craftsmanship are excellent. Similar to my NSX, when that VTEC opens up it delivers a surprising amount of power.

  This is Simply a Wonderful Automobile - 1999 Acura CL
  By Ken Kreps - June 6 - 1:09 pm

  Bought new, it has gone from being our first car to our second car and has proven to be an outstanding buy. Its comfortable to drive, looks great, has many great features, gets wonderful mileage (29-30 on the highway on regular). True, for its age it is is a low mileage car (just a few hundred over 60,000). No maintenance other than routine. In nine years we have replaced the tires, battery, alternator, brakes, and recently, the timing belt and water pump. All of these are routine for a nine year old automobile. We will drive this car easily another 3 or 4 years, as there is no way we could purchase nearly as fine a car for its current fair market value. This was a great buy for us.

  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.

  Nice car - 1999 Acura CL
  By ScorpioEddie84 - September 16 - 10:08 pm

  I bought this car around 4/07 from a private owner with 100k on it. They were the original owners and kept the car up well. I like this car a lot and wish Acura would bring it back (currently they have no 2-door cars available). But anyway, so far this car has treated me pretty well and is fun to drive. Only strange thing that has happened is the brake light in the dash... it will not go off sometimes when I start up the car even though the emergency brake is comletely off. The light usually goes out once it has been driven a few minutes. Also the cruise- control light sometimes does not light up at night. I assume it is very minor electrical stuff to blame for both.

  Transmission nightmares! - 1999 Acura CL
  By roadtripgirl - August 13 - 1:45 pm

  Bought a 1999 CL 3.0 new from the dealership. Only the dealership serviced my car. Four transmissions at 67K miles. Dealership and Corporate Acura would not do anything on behalf of customer loyalty to make this right except an occasional free oil change. Do not, do not, do not buy an Acura!

  1999 Acura CL - 1999 Acura CL
  By roadtripgirl - July 31 - 11:07 am

  I purchased a new CL 3.0 and only had the Acura dealership work on the car, including every single maintenance appointment. At 67K miles, I had my fourth transmission installed. I am very upset, as neither the dealership nor corporate Acura will do anything to make this right. Ive purchased two consecutive extended warranties just to keep from going in the poor house. I strongly urge people to steer clear from the Acuras!
