Acura CL
| | Model of the car: | Acura CL | | | General comments: | This is my wife's daily driver, which she picked out for herself. I drive it mostly on trips, for which it's great. The engine is powerful and refined and more than adequate for two-lane passing. It's a fairly quiet cruiser with a decent sound system (Bose) and decent trunk space for a coupe. As a former racing driver, however, I can say that this is not a sports coupe for the really enthusiastic driver (which I'm not on the public roads). The handling is competent but not exceptional (like other Hondas)and the steering lacks feel (the tightening as the limit is approached) that inspires confidence in spirited driving. If you're in the market for a small, Japanese Thunderbird, then a used CL will be a good and reliable used car. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | steering is precise but lacks feel, this limits spirited driving; styling is love-it or hate-it from the rear and too Accord-derived from the front | | | Previous car: | No similar products, we've owned all the German makes except BMW, a Mazda Millenia S, and a Maxima SE |
