Acura CL
| | Model of the car: | Acura CL | | | General comments: | I have always driven trucks, Toyota trucks for the reliability, not the comfort. The Acura was the best performance vs. price around. I test drove the Lexus IS300 (great car for people under 5'8"), the BMW 325ci (great car but not that powerful and pleather at $30,000?), Infinity G35 (excelent handling, but I'm not ready for a 4 door), and a Ford Mustang (fast but all the refinement of my 1991 Toyota 2wd truck and not much more). So far the car has been a blast to drive. Above 3500 the car pulls like the Mustang right up to 7000. The intake sounds are wonderful. Below 3500 I was surprised at the torque available. The car produces peak torque from 3500-5500. The car comes pretty well stocked with options. The only factory option is the navagation system, but for those of us who can read maps the extra $2000 is wasted. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Minimal head room(I'm 6' 1" and I have a longer torso), bose system has marginal bass. No telescoping steering wheel. Not rear-wheel drive. | | | Previous car: | Toyota Tacoma 4wd TRD |
