  Bad trans in 99 dont buy - 1999 Acura CL
  By dontuy22 - September 3 - 11:17 am

  I own a 99 CL 3.0, all of the transmissions go bad in this car, Ive talked to many people and eventually the trans will go bad way before it should. Do not buy one unless youre prepared to sink 3 grand into at any given time. Could have been a great car, I replaced my trans at 80k miles and now it works good. A friend of mine is an excelllent mechanic with a wealth of knowledge on all cars, and he says it should be good for another 100k miles, but it will definetely go out again eventually and theres nothing that can be done besides replacing it again.

  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.

  Still has looks - 1999 Acura CL
  By Dibbyb - February 2 - 9:34 am

  Got hooked by the styling, love to drive it. I had a 95 Accord wagon and loved that, this is better. Bought for $4500 with 112,000, now 126,000. Brakes replaced, were pretty rusty when I bought it. The A/C compressor let go last summer - $1200. You have to expect a few repairs on a 10 year old car. Has all the options +remote start. Drove it 600 miles in 10 hrs on I-90, most comfortable road trip I ever had. Performance is great! Put it in passing gear and it presses you back and the tuned exhaust roars. I can imagine it surprises the passee with the sound. Doesnt look or feel like a 10 year old. I need to get a van or pickup but will miss this little rocket.

  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.

  Wonderful Acura - 1999 Acura CL
  By D Cohen - May 27 - 1:56 am

  This is a very unique car. It is outstanding to drive has comfort, power, acceleration, quietness, and yet, it is reliable. The styling is classy and attractive. The lines are classic and elegant. Love the beautiful rear styling. Everyone looks at this car and comments how they like it. It will never go out of style and has never been a problem. I wish other things in life were as reliable as this car and had such longevity. We are not selling our CL. No other new car can compare in quality, comfort, reliability, and technology.

  This car delivers - 1999 Acura CL
  By gabi76 - April 20 - 8:38 pm

  Bought this car with 110k on it for 4k. I put on it 70k miles in 3 years and the only "big" investment has been a set of tires and brakes. Still drives like the day I bought it. Dont intend to sell it. Ill never regret the purchase.

  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.
