Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Value for the money, nice engine and interior
Cons: Funky steering, rear seat does not fold down, no manual transmission
The Bottom Line: Great engine and seats let down by bland styling and uneven steering.
Acura wants to be taken seriously again. The first Japanese luxury brand, it got off to a strong start in 1986. Then, in 1990, Acura's world came crashing down. Lexus and Inifiti appeared with more expensive, more powerful, more refined, and overall more ...

Pros: Elegantly simple exterior, spirited acceleration, very comfy seats, Acura quality, excellent value quotient.
Cons: No manual transmission! Front wheel drive layout and understated styling may turn some drivers off.
The Bottom Line: A wolf perfectly comfortable in its own sheep skin.
Let's talk baseball for a minute. When your favorite player steps up to the plate, you want him to confidently point out to the stands, wink at the pitcher, and knock the living daylights out of the ball, right? Outta the park, right? ... I...

Pros: Handling, power, luxury, affordability, reliability, spacious for a coupe
Cons: Hondaesque looks, no telescoping wheel, limited color availability
I recently test drove a 2001 Acura 3.2 CL type S after our BMW 540i was in the shop twice in a month, JUST IN CASE it was becoming a hanger queen that would continually require repairs to keep running. The CL is one of the few cars that rival the 540i...

Pros: 260-hp VTEC, every option under the sun, navigation system.
Cons: Boring. Bland styling. No manual transmission. Completely lacks soul.
The Bottom Line: If you want a car with a soul that's fun to drive, go elsewhere. If you want affordable, reliable transportation that happens to be kinda fast, here's your car.
I have a problem. I change cars like I change my clothes, and it’s starting to get embarrassing. I have friends that call me every so often and ask me what car I’m driving that month. Since 1998, I’ve driven, in this order, a 1989 Nissan Pathfinder, a...

I will continue to add to this as I break in my new love!
I was walking across the parking lot one day and fell in love. It was an instant love....Never doubted it or even thought it might be infatuation.
The curves, the look, the...

As a man still facing midlife crisis [I'm 48] and having just sold a sweet, red, '95 Nissan 300ZX to a retired [age 63] "car enthusiast", I went looking for a car that could fill the void that the Z left and also a car that would be a daily...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Price, Luxurious interior, Almost all "options" are standard
Cons: Bland Honda styling, Poor visibility, Feels too big, No fun, No soul
The Bottom Line: If you want a luxury car with two doors, the Acura CL is perfect! But if you want something fun to drive, look into BMW, Audi, Infiniti, Mercedes, etc.
The Acura 3.2 CL Type S (CL-S for short) is the kind of car that needs to be driven and compared, so make sure that after reading all about the CL-S here on Epinions, you go to your Acura dealer and actually drive one. This is because the car is awesome...

Pros: Class leading power and value
Cons: Styling, minor interior miscues
The Bottom Line: A great car that deserves better styling.
The Acura 3.2 CL is available now as an all new 2001 model. It seems to share a lot with the TL sedan, which has won some accolades from buyers and car mags. I'm waiting to take delivery of a red CL type S after test driving the Audi TT, BMW 323Ci,...

IS 300 (Called Toyota Altezza and Lexus IS 200 in Europe and Japan)
Pros:
Rear Wheel Drive. If you want to...

Pros: everything
Cons: it's not mine, it's my dad's. small buttons on dash.
My father always drove big, comfortable, luxury cars, so I am spoiled when it comes to riding around. The 2001 Acura 3.2CL is as comfortable as any car I have ridden it, and when my father allowed me the opportunity to drive his while I was there on...

Pros: Looks, power, handling, interior, features, price, quality
Cons: dealers don't bargain much, seats only 4
My list of coupes to test drive ranged from the 3.2CL, to the BMW 3-series, the Mercedes CLK320, the Volvo C-70 and even the 4-door Lexus IS 300. Instantly I had to take the CLK off the list because it was back-ordered 4 months (I was driving a rental...

Pros: Great value, nice luxury, attractive interior, reliable track record
Cons: No torque, no manual transmission
I drove a 2001 Type-S as the lease on my 98 3.0CL was expiring. I was hoping the Type-S would remedy the things I did not like about my CL, and had a very positive attitude entering the test since sticking with an Acura when leaving my over-mileage...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable ride, luxury features for less cost than BMW or Mercedes
Cons: Feels a bit "big", needs premium fuel.
The Bottom Line: The Acura CL-S is a car for those of you who are looking for a little luxury in your life without having to sacrifice a fortune to obtain it.
I've only had my Acura for about a month, but I must say this is one of the best purchases I've ever made! When I recently began looking for a new car, I discovered that there were an overwhelming number of choices on the market. I basically knew that...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: big engine, all luxury features are standard
Cons: little details do not yet truly meet "luxury car" standard
This sporty, semi-luxury car offers a lot of bang for the buck; its options and equipment are comparable to much-higher priced imports (for example, BMW and Audi), yet its purchase price is MUCH lower. Not only that, but this car comes with the Honda...

Pros: unbelievable power, luxurious interior, accurate navigation system!
Cons: styling is a bit hard to look at, and this car is a "reckless driving ticket" magnet!
...almost.
I'm in the market for a new car. I've been driving around in my 1991 Nissan Maxima SE for almost 10 years, now, and though I love the car to death, I think I deserve a new ride. Currently, there are only 2 cars on the market that...
