Luxury and Sporty All in One

This car met all of my needs and drove like a dream. Ownership costs were minimal, maintenance only. I had to get another car because I needed four doors for our grands.

Best Car Ever

I have had this 20 yr old car for over 17 years and love it. I dread getting rid of it. If it could be made new again, I'd buy it! I love my Acura CL but the time has come to get a new vehicle. I will miss it terribly. It has been one of the best cars ever. Acura/honda makes a great, reliable and attractive vehicle but my CL will never be matched. I love this car! I wish I could find another one in like new condition. But they are difficult to find. Thanks Acura for making the CL. I will miss it very much. Best car ever.

Best Car I've Ever Had

My 1998 3.0 CL has approximately 374,000 KM on it, and it runs perfect. I soon have to replace the tail pipes, but that's it. The car runs perfect and goes pretty fast. I'm very happy with it and want to keep it for another 3 or 4 years. Motor and Transmission run perfect and the Stereo is Loud (BOSE).

Reliable car I enjoyed driving.

This car is low maintenance and fun to drive. I recommend any 1st time drivers or budget friendly consumers to consider purchasing.

Great commuter car

Reliable car. Despite its age, the car has alot of life left in it! I bought the car when I was in the military and stationed in Arizona. I purchased it from one of my superior officers. He was the original owner and it was in overall good shape when I purchased it.

I love this car!

Love everything about it, eventually I will fix minor details. The body without the tail fin is better for me I love the cruise control & the bose stereo along with the leather seats & heated seats with sunroof.

Best Kept Secret

This car is the best kept secret. It is fabulous car, it couldnt be more reliable. And its roomy and very nice to look at too. Great interior space, big trunk, great on gas, and always starts and gets us where we're going. Most reliable car ever. Best kept secret because it has reliability and low operating expense, yet it is comfortable, well equiped, and luxurious. Our milieage is getting close to 200k and the engine is quiet and smooth as can be. It just keeps running and everyone thinks the car is new because it looks so good..
