2003 Acura CL Type S review from North America
"Great value for the performance buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cabin squeaks and rattles - to be fixed at dealer..
General comments?
Great driving car - fast, responsive, comfortable, quiet, good mileage IF you keep your foot out of it :)
Fit and finish very good, materials and interior good, if styling a bit plain.
Styling is ho-hum, but Acuras look good over time.
Car is a wolf in sheep's clothing - can blow the doors off many "performance" cars, but looks plain.
Stereo is good, but could use a graphic equalizer instead of bass and treble controls.
