Long Live the Acura CL - 1998 Acura CL
By theffin@hotmail.com - April 11 - 11:47 pmAbsolutely loved this car. The way it drove, handled, the comfort, and everything! Strongly reliable and its so quiet in the cab. For a small car it also had some kick. Also this car still has some style if kept in good condition. Would definitely recommend this vehicle for anybody. I had to sell mine due to an expanding family and Im still wishing I kept it!

I love this car - 1998 Acura CL
By nrajoppe - February 2 - 8:47 amThis is my first car, drove it on my permit since the day I got it and now driving it on my license for 2 months. This car is pretty fun to drive as my first car with a 5 speed manual. Reliability? This car wrote the book on it. Which is what every Honda/Acura has come to know and love. It has 267k miles and runs like new, no major repairs on it ever. Every one of my friends says it runs like new as well. Its pretty quick, Ive beaten a few v6 mustangs, older maxima, and mitsubishi eclipse, so its not slow. Overall an amazing car for the value and an amazing first car. Its very luxurious, not like driving in a super light hatchback Civic.

Ok Car - 1998 Acura CL
By Molon - May 13 - 6:10 pmUpscale Honda Accord. Transmission replaced at a little over 100K. Driver side window broke around 50K. Radiator leaked and replaced at 70K. Gas mileage only average, but I got a lead foot. Interior quality excellent with easy to use controls. Rear seat room tiny, Im 59". Acceleration only average due to 4 cyl and the car weighs a lot. Sound insulation only average, as road noise is prevalent. Air conditioner is not that strong for summer usage.

11 Years and going - 1998 Acura CL
By Seth - April 30 - 10:35 amIve had my CL for almost 12 years and its still a fine piece of machinery ( 206,780 miles thus far). Over the years, I had very few "major" repairs to the car such as exhaust system replacement. It still maintains many original parts. If you have an opportunity to buy this car, you should do it (especially if it has low mileage). It will pay for itself in a short period of time.

Solid Car - 1998 Acura CL
By Steve - February 23 - 2:34 pmI purchased the car with about 40k and have run it up to 150k. It has been mostly trouble free. The only major expense was a new alternator. Its a really solid car, now 12 years old the muffler is still the original. The interior has held up well, a few cracks in the drivers seat leather. At this point in time if you are reading this you would be considering a used car purchase, I would suggest it. My 98 has at least another 3 or 4 years of good strong life left in it. If you need a nice, solid two door coupe this would be a very good choice.

Fabulous - 1998 Acura CL
By cammi450 - November 27 - 11:59 pmI bought this car in 2/08. I figured it would get me through a few years until I could buy something "better". But I absolutely LOVE this car. It is beautiful (people think it is only a few years old) and extremely reliable (over 150,000 miles). I have only had to replace brakes and the alternator. I will not sell it anytime soon.

Awesome beginner car - 1998 Acura CL
By happy Acura owner - September 20 - 1:07 pmI bought this car six months ago, glad I did. Didnt really know what I was looking for in a car but got this one cheap, because it had been wrecked. No internal damage though. Runs great and reliably, good acceleration. Wonderful handling, I had the tendency to take corners at high speeds and this machine took my abuse with grace and function, on multiple occasions, and I love the leather interior and effective air conditioning and power moonroof. I will never own a car that doesnt have a black leather interior or faux leather (at the least). Very comfortable.

Great Car! - 1998 Acura CL
By Rita - September 5 - 2:33 pmI purchased this car after owning a crappy VW Passat 2 years ago. This car has been great no problems in general. The gas mileage can be rough if you want to get moving fast, but otherwise, not bad for a V6. (I typically get about 25 mpg in city traffic.) I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking to buy a car thats a lot of fun to drive.
