It's Not A Legend

The 2003 Acura 3.2CL Type S is much quicker than was my 1995 Legend; it has a higher level of technology; and it has greater convenience; but it's not a Legend. It doesn't have the big luxury car feel and road presence of the Legend. My wife complains that the Type S makes too much "boy noise" - - a fault my ears fail to detect -- but every morning it's the car she takes to work, leaving the Lexus in the garage. I've driven the car on two vacation trips this year and find that the power and handling are as good as one will find in a front-wheel drive sport coupe.

Incredibly fun car to own and drive. Beautiful and high quality interior, especially considering the price. Seats grip your sides and hold you in during hard turns. Smooth and quick shifting 6 speed manual. This car is fast too.

Love the car. The dealership was easy and actually enjoyable to work with. I sold my 1999 EXV6 Coupe for this car and I am not disappointed I did.

Get one before they're all gone

2003 Acura CL 3.2 Type-S 2dr Coupe w/Navigation (3.2L 6cyl 6M)

Underrated and underappreciated, especially with the 6 speed. Superb engine with wide power band. Plenty of low end punch, yet revs freely all the way to redline. Great transmission with crisp, short throws. Very fast. Quiet. Doesn't quite handle like a sports car, but very good for its size. Most drivers won't be able to push it to its limits. Anti-slip differential works. Navigation system indispensible. Usable backseat and trunk. Heavily equipped for the money. Subtle good looks. Not flashy, but still get lots of comments from onlookers. If you're looking for a coupe, test drive one of these. Get one before they all disappear.
