2001 Acura 1.7 EL Premium review from North America
"A Civic with Bling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For some reason, my AC didn't turn on one time. The light lit up as if it were activated, but no cold air blew through. Fortunately, the next time I drove the car that day, the issue disappeared. It hasn't since returned.
General comments?
I basically was looking for a car with Civic like reliability and fuel efficiency, with some luxury cues, and the Acura delivered. I picked up off of a nice older woman who didn't drive it more than 40kph (seriously). Got the car for an amazing price. Spend money applying tint and protective film on the hood, along with replacing the gas cap, but besides that, all good.
