This is my first Acura and I'm loving it. I bought it certified and the dealership has been great.

Fun and comfortable to drive. Gets over 30 mpg on long trips. While the rear seat is comfortable it is not easy to get in and out.

Bought used with about 42K miles on it. Couldn't be happier with the vehicle for the price I paid. Runs great, good speed, love the heated seats, navigation system rules. Being the first experience with a foreign car, I am very pleased. We hope to upgrade to a MDX in a few years. For the money and options included, this is a steal compared to a Lexus.

I bought this car used 2 years ago. No problem, fun to drive, Bose system, heated seat and memory seat and this car is going for same price as Honda Accord v6. What a deal!

Transmission problems, check engine light constantly comes on, and loud sunroof, and slight rattles. I wish I had kept my old BMW328CI which had over 140k miles and never had any of these problems that my Acura CL with only 60,000 miles have. I have heard/read that the better Acura CLs were the 1997 to 1999. My co-worker has a 1997 CL 3.0 and never had any problems with it and has over 110,000 miles on it. You get a far better car for the money you pay for a BMW 3 series.

My brother told me not to test drive
it. My wife said "get what you want,
the boys have their cars, I have mine,
you don't have to get a four door
family sedan." What a wonderful
wife. This is a great car. It is
very very fast and very very
comfortable. I am 6'1" tall and weigh
290# and this car is one of the few
that accomodates my height and girth
with the standard leather driver's
seat. My oldest son's Tiburon is
slightly tricked out and he turns 15.9
at Capital Raceway in Crofton. I
turned a 15.6 after learning how to
master the racing tree lights. I had
a full sized spare, two
17" rims and a set of clubs in the
trunk when I did it. Not bad.

The type S begs to be driven in a
sporty manner, but has a comfortable
ride at any time. I highly recommend
several basic changes that will awaken
this incredible car; 1, Buy the AEM
cold air intake,(2-3 hundred).The
increase in performance is amazing,10-
15 horsepower, and the 2nd intake
opening at 5k RPM in the S engine
sounds absolutely incredible.2.Buy
the Eibach springs (2-3 hundred.)Hugely
improves handling at all speeds with no
loss of ride quality! Giving it a more
aggressive appearance and keeping it
glued to the turns. 3. Buy a 75 horse
shot of nitrous (7-8). Engine computers
will never let it run lean, and you now
outrun BMW's,350z,V-8 Camaro's,&

I have owned Acura since the 1985
model. The 2001 CL is the best in
terms of power, handling, agility and
design. This car flies when needed
with a slight touch of the peddle. No
problem leading the pack between NY and
Boston. I'm in the market for the new
TL and can't wait to get my hands on it.

I looked at other cars on the market,
but for the money and the features
that this car has to offer, it was a
no brainer! The only option was the
navigation system - everyting else was
included! Heated seats and mirrors,
sunroof, and not one but two memory
keys, and the list goes on! What
other car company offers all these
extras in the base model. Acura has
found the right combination of luxury
and the fun to drive sports car! It
is a dream to drive! You will not be
disappointed!

At 47,000 miles my poor tranny died.
This problem has caused a very obvious
and apparent drop in resale value -
and frankly I have little confidence
the rebuild Acura supplied will "tow
the line" for the long haul. It's too
bad because otherwise this car is near
perfect for my needs and desires.
The motor is awesome. Probably the
smoothest revving V6 out there - and
it has good torque thru the power
band. Close to BMW smoothness really -
but a I-6 should always be superior
to the V-6. Handling is excellent,
solid feedback through the wheel for a
FWD car.
