Great car
This is a fun car to drive. It has held up well against time. Very few problems, considering its age. People come up and ask me if this is a new car. The paint looks new. I hope to put a couple more hundred thousand miles on it!
Good Car, Not So Good Tranny
Bought the car from a local Acura dealer with 66k miles in Feb 2004 (3.0 premium). Car was (then) mechanically perfect and ran flawlessly. Now at 85k, the tranny is slipping and has been periodically for the last 10k miles. Fortunately, I have a warranty that will replace it. Wish I could drop a 5-speed but the cost would be around 8-10k, way too much money. So except for the one huge problem, this car is fantastic. Build quality is typical Honda, interior has held up great, very nice all around. I'm actually thinking of getting a 2.3 stick as a 2nd vehicle.

Ok Car
Upscale 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, I'm 5'9". 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.
Upgrading to a CL 3.0
The proud owner of an Accord Ex 4cyl with a strong hunger for more power. I like the look of the V6 Accord Coupe, however the much smoother transmission of the CL 3.0. Like my 1991 integra with 207K miles, the CL 3.0 will also be in the family for some years to come.
The Acura 3.0CL Premium -Simply the Best
This is a stunning car. It is my first car and driving it is actually fun and incredible. The performance and is outrageous because it incorporates the same basic engine form the NSX. The car is very solid and easily takes corners at high speeds. The interior is well-equipped with the premium package. Surprisingly the front and back seats offer a comfortable seating area for a small coupe. The Bose sound system is high quality and sounds great. There is an unbelievable amount of trunk space. This car is very well-built and high quality. It is definitely a good buy and very reliable with the Acura/Honda name. I love mine and will say it is the best in my school parking lot.
