Hey.
Just bought my Acura EL 1.7 Premium, 5 speed
It's really nice to drive, comfortable, and looks amazing!
I would recommend it to anyone who wants a small/sporty/affordable car!
I own a 2001 Acura 1.7 EL and it currently has over 304000K on it. Need I say more? The exterior has little scratch here and there, not very noticeable because it's black. Yes overall the seats are getting worn out, certain things are getting discolored. But that's what happens when you own an 8 year old car. The only other thing I ever changed was the alternator in 2008.
In the first half of the story, the gas was being read incorrectly (sounds like a fuel arm, which wasn't mentioned). In the second half of the story, the gas started disappearing - and gas doesn't just disappear.
It's very strange that someone is telling a story about a luxury brand like it's Chevrolet. Acura has a reputation in Canada (only place the EL is sold) and treat EL/CSX drivers just like they treat owners of MDXs, RLs and other pricey luxury cars.
My EL has been in a serious collision (and repaired, regrettably) and after 85,000 KMs the engine and transmission are as solid as ever (sadly not the rest of the car, the overall feel was never the same after $12k in repairs after being t-boned in the driver-side front fender).
Anyone who thinks the EL is fast, or even "quick" should try an Si :) And I don't mean the old Canadian "Si", I mean the 197 HP 2006+ Si :)
