2001 Acura CL 3.2 review from North America
"Great long distance cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced transmission at 94,000-free of charge from dealer- Transmission has a 100,000 mile warranty. Replaced ball joints in the front suspension at 132,000 miles. Had front end alignment done at the same time. Replaced ABS sensor on front right wheel at 120,000. Got timing belt and water pump done at 130,000 miles. Also had tensioner done at same time. The timing is a fiber glass reinforced unit so it can well over 100,000 and will not break. Left headlight went out at 140,000. Bulb was fine, but something called an inverter was bad and had to be replaced.
General comments?
The car is relatively reliable and very comfortable and very smooth. Handling is not that great; what with about 61% of cars weight on front wheels.
