  • Cl-S Type - 2003 Acura CL
    By -

    This is a very nice vehicle. I wanted a nice blend of performance and luxury, and this car definetly fit the bill. I put 162,000mi on my Honda Accord and I knew the build quality on the CL would be good, since Acura and Honda are related. I really enjoy knowing I have 260hp under the hood available at a moments notice. The acceleration is great! Also, the car is very smooth and handles well with the sports tuned suspension. I do wish the steering was a little tighter though. It feels too much like my Accord. Overall its a great car.

  • How can you drive this car slow?? - 2003 Acura CL

    Just picked up a 2003 CL Type-S a week ago and I love it. Had to put it in storage until April when the warm weather returns (Winter in Massachusetts too much!). I cant believe the power under the hood of this car. I traded in a MR2 which I thought had power, but this Acura CL TypeS is twice as fast off the line! Cant wait for spring to arrive!

  • CL MEANS VALUE - 2003 Acura CL
    By -

    Value is not a meaningless word to me and I translate it into my word with virtually everything. When it comes to autos, the Acura TV and CL simply beat the competition hands down. The BMW, the Lexus, the Audi and Volvo want to compete but they fall short in drive, fit and finish and performance. The CL could be light years ahead with so little attention on the part of designers. Why create a car that wins the VALUE competition yet let some other areas fall so short?

  • First Impressions - 2003 Acura CL
    By -

    From BMW to Saab to Honda to an 03 Acura CL-S. Performance and fun to drive are tops. Exterior design is not unique but than again that doesnt matter to me. This is one great driving vehicle on the open road which is becoming as extinct or sitting on the expressway???? heading to downtown Chicago!!!!

  • power, comfort and reliability - 2003 Acura CL
    By -

    I bought the S version (autoamtic shift) of this car because it was far sportier than other cars in its class. The standard equipment is extensive. The interior is far more elgant than other cars in its class, unless you buy add-ons to the other cars. Very supportive seats. excellent stereo.

    Great car to own. great to drive. Comfortable interior and good looking outside. Fuel efficient and easy to maintain so far after 36000 miles.

  • Built in Canada - 2003 Acura CL
    By -

    After drooling over the new CLs for over a year and waiting until I could find a good preowned vehicle that Acura is known for, I ended up with what has so far been a lemon. I had terrible vibration in the brakes had to have them resurfaced and pads replaced with 29K miles on the car. Two weeks later the transmission went out. Being replaced with a remanufactured one and although all of this is done under warranty its a big letdown for what was a $30K + luxury vehicle. My 1994 Integra is much more reliable than my new certified preowned Lemon. :-(

    Great engine, great value, super shifter. Really fun to drive in a very nice environment. I like the somwhat reserved styling as something that isnt a flash in the pan. Great front seats.
