Used 2003 Acura CL Consumer Reviews

I LIKE MY ACURA

HAVING HAD A HAND OPERATION MY MILES ARE LOW BUT THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE ALL SYSTEMS GO HAND DOING FINE THE CAR ITSELF IS FUN AND GOOD LOOKING

No SUV for Me!

Time for a new car. I thought briefly of adding still another SUV to the roads. Then I remembered that I really did love to drive once upon a time. The Acura CL is a fast, fine handling car with excellent fit and finish. The styling is not exceptional, but the engineering definitely is. Convenience items like mirror defroster, seat heaters and plenty of concealed storage are welcome. My hockey sticks fit through the (unfortunately small opening from the trunk to the rear seats. Controls are logical and well placed. The AC is effective (though whiney at times).

power, comfort and reliability

I bought the S version (autoamtic shift) of this car because it was far sportier than other cars in its class. The standard equipment is extensive. The interior is far more elgant than other cars in its class, unless you buy add-ons to the other cars. Very supportive seats. excellent stereo.

Love my CL Type S

I'm making an offer tomorrow

Best value in class. Fun to drive hard but is an interstate cruiser as well.

I like it!

This is an excellent car considering fit, finish and value for the dollar.

Acura review

Soid vehicle, powerful, easy cruises at 80 MPH, so watch your speed! Headroom a little tight, headlights have a dark band right in front of the car which takes a little getting used to. Smooth drive and very quite. Suspension a little stiff when going over sharp bumps (such as speed bumps). Headroom in back a little on the small side.

Not bad so far

Purchased this car used with 72k mi on it. Over 12k later in a few months I really like the car. It gets average mileage for a v6 if I could just keep my foot off the pedal my personal mileage would be better but I've gotten 26 - 27 mpg average from a few tanks. Its very comfortable and has a ton of leg room but limited head room at 6'1" as long as I keep the seat all the way down and slightly back its not a problem though. Great stock sound, trunk is huge, looks nice, similar to the accord but much much better. I worry a bit about the potential trans problem to surface but don't plan on keeping the car after the 107k mi extension of coverage. Would have gotten the manual type-s if I did it over.

Cl for life

I’ve owned this CL since 2003 (last year of this model) and it has 199,975 Miles. The only problem I ever has was a transmission issue about 5 years ago which was quickly remedied. The car is a beautifully designed auto that was exhilarating at times to drive. I never feel unsafe in this car and will probably never part with it. One of Acura’s true gems!

Excellent Value

This car is quiet, has excellent performance, built solid and the best value of the dollar that you can find.

just hatched

The CL is new and I have only 2500 miles. The interior is very Accord like. Handles well and is very quick with the standard engine. The headroom with the sunroof just clears my head. I am 6' tall. Gas mileage is poor so far.

Poorest Quality Honda I've ever ownerd

The driver's side armrest squeeks. A bundle of wires dropped from under the dash. The climate control sounds like it is full of leaves. I'm 5'11'' and keep hitting my head on the roof. The moonroof flutters like crazy at > 70 mph. You call this quality?

great speed for those who dont use it

Great car for all of you out there who want a car with a little extra power and ridiculous features, but I have beaten this car daily, and my last car, a 91 plymouth acclaim took it better. The stock MXHX4s are garbage and I was told by the service manager that "These are the worst tires I've seen with 2000 miles on them ever.", after taking the car to the track 2 times did that, I already need a front and rear alignment and a new rim (hit a curb in the snow). If you like having a fast car and babying it, this is the one for you. I enjoy it, but for 4 hunge a month, I should get a little more strumphiness
