Acura quality is going down

First off, I love the engine, transmission, and the seats. The car accelerates well, and the ride is firm, but comfortable. The handling is pretty good for a car of this weight. What has diminished my enjoyment of the car are the various squeaks and rattles coming from the dash, passenger side seat, sunroof, and the rear of the car. This is not something I expected from an over $31,000 car. It only has 1860 miles on the odometer. Hopefully my dealer can fix these annoying problems. My Acura Integra GSR had no such problems early in its life. I will think twice before I buy another Acura.

I purchased a 2002 Acura CLS in November and actually traded it in two weeks ago for the six speed! Not the smartest financial move but I love the 6 speed and have waited two years for something comparable to my previous Prelude. I have had six Preludes through the years and trying to find a replacement has been a challenge.

There was a silver 6sp/CL-S that I had my eye on for months at the dealer. Knowing that 2003 was the last model year, I figured I would be able to pick one up for a good price. Indeed. I did. This car comes with everything. The build quality is top notch. The engine, ooh, that engine. Tranny, a slick shifting dream! Quiet cabin, excellent ergonomics. Honda builds great cars!

I wanted a sport-luxury combo in the $30-35k range. I live in the snow belt so I also wanted fwd or awd. Drove Audi A4, Volvo S60, Maxima, Infiniti G35 (rear wheel drive but had to check it out). All very fine cars, but the CL just suited me best. I'm 6'3", and headroom is barely enough but comfortable. Leg room in the front is great. 6 speed manual tranny rocks.
