Great car
Great interior, enjoy the ride, great gas mileage average 24 mpg and I have a heavy foot. Previous cars: 98 xj8, 97 prelude,94 civic ex coupe, 84 crx, 82 firebird. Honda products by far the best.
Good News for CL Buyers
After 5 miserable years with a SAAB 900, what a dramatic cahnge for the better. My 2002 Acura CL is a pleasure to drive. It is solid through and through, with none of the annoying rattle and squeaks of my SAAB. It is a very simple car to purchase as it includes almost every feature standard. The car has a very substantial feel to it, and has great acceleration and handling. The automatic is smooth, however the novelty of the sport-shifter has worn off and I rarely user this feature. The sound system is top notch. It's a pity I don't take it on the open road more often as the car is a pleasure to drive and own.
REVIEW
Great car for the price
Best FWD coupe
Great power with great gas milage using sportshift (up to 50 miles more than autoshift out of a full tank). Right door does not line up with body. Dealer made some improvement but clearly a building quality issue. Overall, body (not wheel base) is too long and not tall enough. Great value and no complaints for anything else.
Would never buy it again
It is glubby when in the driver's seat. It is uncomfortable to drive in. Just trying to turn the steering wheel can give you a hernia. It is as if the power steering fluid is empty. The seat backs are so high you cannot see behind you when you back up. Trying to move the front seat up when getting in the back seat is next to impossible. I bought it about 2 weeks ago and I am very unhappy. I can't believe I traded my wonderful 1988 Acura Legen Coupe for this monster.
