I've had my CL for almost 12 years and it's still a fine piece of machinery ( 206,780 miles thus far). Over the years, I had very few "major" repairs to the car such as exhaust system replacement. It still maintains many original parts. If you have an opportunity to buy this car, you should do it (especially if it has low mileage). It will pay for itself in a short period of time.

This car has been reliable for the short period of time i have had it. But that comes with any honda/acura you buy. It's nice that you don't see it at every light that you stop at too! Could use more power, but that's because I'm a gear head. But it drives like it looks, smooth!
Awesome car!

I bought the car in 2002 with 82,000 miles on it. It now has 122,000 miles and is still tight and reliable. Other than brakes, tires, and oil changes this car has been nearly trouble free. I did have to replace the driver's side electric window motor.

I purchased the car with about 40k and have run it up to 150k. It has been mostly trouble free. The only major expense was a new alternator. It's a really solid car, now 12 years old the muffler is still the original. The interior has held up well, a few cracks in the drivers seat leather. At this point in time if you are reading this you would be considering a used car purchase, I would suggest it. My 98 has at least another 3 or 4 years of good strong life left in it. If you need a nice, solid two door coupe this would be a very good choice.

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).

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.

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!
