2001 Acura CL 3.2CL review from North America
"Comfortable, and fast with some problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rotors constantly warping.
Inner axle joints worn makes the floor shake between 40mph-60mph.
Drivers seat leather waring really fast.
Rear view mirror auto dark feature went bad/ the fluid leaked out causing a air bubble.
New tires at 40,000 miles.
General comments?
It's a good car, comfortable and has nice cruising power, but its slow to accelerate and does not feel agile even for a two door.
I have been using red line oil in the motor and its keeping it nice and clean, it working good.
The trans gets a fluid changed once a year and so far no problems with the transmission (using only Honda fluid).
It seems to be loosing its pep, when it was new it was much better. Next car will be a manual not an automatic.
