Used 2003 Acura CL

"Acura's best looking and feeling car ever!"

"OMG, this was my third Acura CL. The first one was, I believe the 99 model, much small and less attractive version of the CL. Then I purchase the 2002 CL in September 2001, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Unfortunately, two months later a distracted driver came into my lane, I swerve to avoid getting hit, ran off the road and totaled my girl. I went right back to the dealership and bought the exact same car. 19-years later she is still running and I still love her. She is just beginning to nickle and dime me with little things, therefore, its time to get something else. I can truly say it has been a struggle to go shopping knowing it's not going to be an ACURA. Today I test drove a Mercedes Benz GLC and a GLA, definitely not at all impressed, and I would not purchase either. I also test drove the Infinity QX 50, Lexus 300NX, RX 350 and the UX both brands peaked my interest, but I am not in love as I was when I purchased my CL. I though I would be an Acura/Honda consumer forever. Unfortunately Honda has not come up with a beautiful looking car in the last 18-19 years for their Acura luxury line. There was the Legend, then there was the CL and now there is nothing attractive left in the brand. Honda's recent Accord sedan is beautiful and sleek, but I wanted to stay with Acura and get a SUV. I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA'S lack of attention to their luxury brand! That's spaceship style they adopted several years ago needs to go. I kept thinking it would be remedied before I was ready for a new car, but I was wrong. Lexus/Infinite here I come (sigh)."

"BEST CAR OUT THERE"

"This car has lasted me forever. i have ran through a fence, ran off of I-44 because i hit a deer and got out of the ditch on my own. i have had no problems with this car. it has been through so much in the last couple years Ive had it. paint isnt perfect but it surely has done a lot for me. most reliable car ever. im 21 now and its my first car, i bought it at 100,000 miles and it now at 192,000. it should be up there for around 3000 dollars if u ask me. i have put this car up for 4000 before to see what people would say about it. i got 5 offers for it in less than a month. that is pretty good. this is a really good first car and its so reliable. this car is the lesser value than the type s, and its still running strong and proud. im proud to be an Acura driver. i will never buy another brand of car unless its a 69 charger or a supra with a 2JZ motor in there."

"Great vehicle, great value"

"Bought this car used in 2006 with about 20k miles on it and have put on about 40k more since then (early 2011) and I have hardly had any mechanical problems. The 6-CD player went out but was covered by the extended warrenty and replaced at no cost to me. Great power at low and mid rpms thanks to the VTEC engine. The first time I hit the gas in the test drive I was pleasantly surprised by the power. Also, I get great gas milage on the highway (~35 mpg) and decent enough in the city (~23). Super comfortable for short or long trips for 2 people. The backseats have decent enough leg room but getting in and out can be a bit of a pain, especially for those nimble. Power seats, sunroof, windows, climate-control are all standard and are no-nonsense to figure out. I'm looking to buy a new car and hope I am half as happy with my next purchase."
