1999 Acura CL 3.0 review from North America
"A classy and sporty car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light started to come on at about 85000 miles. The car runs fine and the light will go off at times, but then came back on - so who knows.
The heating and cooling system is stuck on air conditioning at the moment and doesn't change to heat even if you crank it up to 90 degrees (it is all digital).
Even though the tires are in perfect alignment they continue to wear horribly on the inside rear tires... the tire dealership says this is due to it being a high performance car and so it is manufactured with the toe in a slight bit more, causing the tires to wear out quickly. I am currently on my 3rd set of tires in 2 years of owning the vehicle.
General comments?
I love how the car drives and how luxurious the inside is. I also LOVE the heated seats!
It has great pick up.
