2001 Acura CL 2.8 review from North America

"Drives like a sports car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had to have passenger seat motor replaced at about 13,000 miles (under warranty).

No other problems with the vehicle.

General comments?

We've had this car for nearly two years, and have enjoyed almost every minute. With over 200 horses under the hood, punch the accelerator - even at highway speeds - and it pushes you into the seat as it quickly responds. Tight steering and suspension give you a good feel of the road.

Only problem was a sluggish passenger seat motor; the dealer replaced the whole motor assembly under warranty to avoid any further service calls (a great policy!).

We got the Navigator system with this purchase, and aside from not having the absolute latest new roads, has come in very handy when showing people around, checking for alternative routes, estimating driving time, and so on. The climate control system works great, and heated leather seats are comfortable and hug your body, especially on those quick turns!

Floor mats and cargo net came with, and we purchased a nose guard. Trunk is spacious for two people's luggage with some room left over, and the fold-down access in the back seat is convenient to place your fishing pole entirely out of the weather.

Seats four people comfortably, although big or tall people may be a bit cramped in the back two seats.
