2001 Acura CL Type S review from North America
"Fast, classy, yet affordable."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake and rotor problems. They need to be replaced quite often.
Side airbag light comes on for no reason.
General comments?
My car has not had this problem, but the 01 Acura CL type S is notorious for transmission problems. Acura recognizes this problem and will fix it if the car has less than 100,000 miles on it.
Performance is very good for a car of this size. Lots of power and decent handling at high speeds.
Car gets about 22 miles per gallon in town.
Interior is plush and very luxurious.
A wonderful car and I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend Acura to anyone.
