"It's a reliable car, but costly to maintain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I purchased a used 1997 Acura CL 2.2 in 2002. I wish the car had more power during acceleration.

I have had problems with the air conditioner failing twice in the past year.

There has been water leaking from under the passenger dash which ruined the carpet.

My driver side window motor had to be replaced.

General comments?

I agree with the others about the window motor needing to be recalled. I take very good care of my car, but it seems like since I purchased it there has been one minor, but costly thing after another.

The car rides smoother than any other two door car I have had in the past.

I agree about the window motor that need to be recalled. I had 97 Accord EX with same motor and have to replace it when it was only 40K miles. Then I got this 97 2.2 CL, and I have to replace the same motor (driver side) at 95K miles.

The reason for replacement is the same, the plastic part that holds the wire was broken. This things are cheaply made, very disappointing.
