1997 Acura CL 2.2 review from North America
"The car handles well, is economical, comfortable and is nice looking"
General comments?
Having trouble with shifting into 5th gear. Sounds as if not depressing the clutch when shifting into 5th gear. Dealer is recommends replacing Clutch master and slave cylinder (what ever these are) for $ 420.00. This seems to me to be an unusual repair.
Road noise seems excessive, have been told that noise is caused by low profile tires. Have received a recommendation to replace tires with Michelin. Hope this does the trick.
