I bought this one in 1996, and it's
been the best vehicle I have owned.

The CL is a great car! I bought mine
about 3 years ago with 50k on it, now
I have 95k. No problems at all, just
your basic maintenance. The car
handles wonderfully for a luxury car.
Best of both worlds, all in one
package! I would buy another one if I
was to sell it.

I own a '97 Acura CL premium. The car
currently has 100k. I've had no
problems until about 95k. Even then -
nothing major: replaced a hose and a
starter. Very reliable, great all-
around car.

I've loved this car from the moment we
test drove it. I've babied it & always
used the terrific dealer service).
After 5 years, I have just had my first
major mechanical problem, and it's a
biggie -- transmission. I'm making the
investment ($3600 - Acura chipped in
with $900 off and a free rental) to
keep it going for at least a few more
years. The sound system is unmatched
in any car I've been in. Little
things, like the leather starting to
give on the seams, and the door on my
glasses box (under the CD player)
busting a hinge are my only annoyances.
sigh. And that the transmission should
go bad...

We bought this car used in 2000 (45,000
mi)and we've put about 32,000 miles on
it since then. So far we've had a check
engine problem-$250+ , a window motor
failing- $300+, a bad alternator,
$300+. This is not my idea of reliable.
During the same time period I've spent
less than $300 fixing my 1989 Honda
Accord (186,000 mi.) The tires are
awfully expensive to buy for this car
and hard to find. About $150-200 EACH.
This car is definitely overrated.

I bought this car for my wife in 97.

still loves the CL drive better.

with it. I'd definitely would
recommend this car to anyone looking
for a fun reliable car.

I'm no kid, I've been driving for 32
years. I've owned a '72 Datsun 240Z
and '70 Dodge Charger SE, so I'm no
stranger to performance cars. Without
a doubt, the CL is the most luxurious
sport sedan I've personally owned or
driven. Reliability is fantastic and
the fuel economy is great for the 6 cyl
(better than my Toyota Avalon's), which
is no mean feat. The car is so well
put together, ya can hardly tell when
you're well over the speed limit

Very fast and Great fun to drive,
outstanding and unmatched visibility,
very comfortable and utterly
reliable. Nice looking too. I think
I wasted my money on an extended
service contract since quality is so
high. My second Acura over 13 years.

the CL is an awesome car for the
money. you get both the prestige of
the acura label, and the dependability
of a honda. ive had it for about 3
months now, and bought it with 58000
miles on it. it hasnt had one problem
yet, and is a strong runner. it has a
responsive original clutch, and is a
smooth ride. it is a stylish luxury
coupe, and overall, it is a great car!!
