  By 99 acura - September 23 - 2:00 am

  although it is a nice car with a great motor the trans is garbage ive had mine for 2 years and just put another one in and ACURA extended the warranty it doesnt fix the problem they should have recalled and redesigned the trans.

  My first car - 1999 Acura CL
  By Ice Man - August 29 - 2:25 pm

  This is my far car. I researched this car right here on edmunds.com the night before I purchased it. Once I saw the reviews were great I bought it. Ive owned the car less than a week now and I love this car. The good: Im a college student. It gets 20-22 miles in the city, its fun to drive, its super luxurious, and fast. Its sleek, my car is bright red with white interior. The bad: the car has a horrible turning radius other than that I cant think of anything else I dont like about the car.

  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.

  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.

  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!

  Surprisingly wide turning radius. Fuel injectors replaced @ 70,000. Drivers side window mechanism failure @ 60,000. Very nice ride on trips. Overall a very good car.

  Pretty darn good - 1999 Acura CL
  By big c - May 25 - 7:11 pm

  I bought mine used and its a great car, good power very roomy for a coupe, take it up to 60 mph and let the fun begin, accelerates better at high speeds. Also retains value very well. Great thing is no options brings everything you might need in a coupe standard. And very comfortable in the back which is rare for a coupe.
