Acura CL
| | Model of the car: | Acura CL | | | General comments: | After testing many cars, I felt that the CL type S gave me the most for the money in terms of sportiness, standard features and quality. The closest competitor was the Lexus IS300, which has a good deal of pep and sporty feel, but costs several thousands more for their base model. It would cost a lot to similarly equip the Lexus. The Mercedes C230 while nice, has only 4 cylinders with turbo, and had significant turbo lag. The BMw 330i was also nice, but I think the CL type S gives better performance (in most areas except for handling) for a much lower price. The Passat was very nice, buts its less fun to drive family-type car. The Acura should also have few repair problems and when they do occur, should be less expensive to fix than the German cars. Ive had the car 6 months with no probelms. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | It would be great if the triptonic shifter could be incorporated into the steering wheel as on the Lexus IS300. Also needs a telescoping steering wheel, and bumper guards on the outside of door panels. Horn should be closer to the wheel hand grips. A slightly more aggressive styling would be welcomed.? | | | Previous car: | Datsun 240z, mazda RX7, mustang` |
