2003 Acura CL review from North America
"It's the car I told my wife I would drive all year round, then she got one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side headlight went out soon after purchase. It seems to have a constant wobble of the steering wheel, even after rotations and balances.
General comments?
Excellent car. It is my 3 Honda product and my wife's first. She absolutely loves it compared to her neon. It has great power, reliability and usefulness.
The headlight was covered under our extended warranty (after I had to point out that them that I had a warranty, again and where it should be covered).
Handles great, accelerates well, has tons of options and looks great when it is clean (black paint).
