I'm very happy with my purchase. It's a great compromise between luxury, performance, and reliability. I'm a happy Acura owner and wouldn't change a thing.

After weeks of test driving, I decided on the CL type S. There are other very good cars out there (such as Lexus IS300 and BMW 3 series). Howerver the CL is lots faster, and comes very well equiped. The seats were the most comfortable. It didnt handle as well as the BMW, and has a bit large turning circle. However, the lexus and BMW would cost at least $15,000 more to equip them similarly to the CL. The interior of the CL looks classier than that in the BMW or Lexus.

This vehicle has had three transmissions, warped brakes, malfunction navigation, interior rattles, and cheap leather.Quality is a serious problem, and Acura is not helpful.It still has problems and Acura has stopped talking to me.Atty Swann and 4000.00 later I parked the car.Dealership even dropped it off the lift last time.Car has been torn apart so many times the car feels stretched.They know they have a problem, NTHSA did an investigation and found the transmissions faulty, oh and Acura discontinued the line, CL and TL.Honda isn't what it used to be.My 2000 Ram Air gave me no problems, American cars have indeed come a long way.

Very agile, fun-to-drive car

This Type-S model is a very agile, fast machine. Handles well on curvy roads. Definitely fun to drive. I cannot believe all the standard equipment, and very high-tech. It is a tremendous bargain in its market group. Excellent sound system. My only issues: I would like the exact car with a telescopic steering wheel and tilt headrests, 1 inch more head room in the front and rear. Please, Acura, come out with a higher-end version.
