Great Car Great Value
Bought this car new and have had only one problem with it. The passenger-side windows attenuator went bad 2 times. One time it was covered under warranty. The 2nd time it cost $350 to replace at the dealer. This is a great car. Very reliable and dependable. Somewhat sporty and has great torque to blast you out of tight spots. Inexpensive to maintain (it really is a somewhat upgraded Accord Coupe).
Greatest car everq
Bought the 1998 2.3 coupe in Jan 1998 and here in June 2004 I have never, ever spent one single cent on a repair bill. Maintenance yes, like tires, oil, air filter, belts, no hoses yet and it has 95500. Does not leak one drop of oil or burn it either. Gets 31mpg hwy.
Bullet Proof CL 3.0
Never once has this car let me down. The only failure I've had was the thermostat ($22.). At 112,000 miles the original exhaust system and battery are still fine. Outside of recommended maintenance, only tires and brake pads have been replaced.
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.
Best combination!
Bought this car 1 year old with 23,000 miles on it. The 2.3 liter engine with the 5 speed is the most fun combination of this CL/Accord coupe. Looks good, handles well, and has decent performance with the 5 speed. Have over 85,000 miles and only oil changes and brakes needed. Very reliable [as you would expect with a Honda]. Good looking and well laid out interior. Also great gas milage on regular fuel. Another plus is the limited production so you won't see the car on every corner. Very pleased!
