Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very Responsive.Nice sports seats that hold you in. Sounds agressive; nice V-Tec sound
Cons: Navigation not so good wait for next generation or after market NAV.
The Bottom Line: GET ONE!! best over all pricing and quality for a sports/luxury car.
I traded in my old 2001 sports-shift CL S-Type for the 2003 CL S-Type 6-speed. This is my first manual to own. The car is lighter than the automatic but still has the Honda accord chassie so it's heavy for a sports car but still rides nice. New style ... read more

Pros: standard 6-speed manual on Type-S (finally!), strong acceleration, fuel economy, features-per-dollar
Cons: ride, back seat accommodations, 17-inch wheels look small for a sports car
The Bottom Line: Although not as agile as a BMW, the CL is very nice luxury sports coupe that offers more EVERYTHING than its competitors and at a lower price!

Author's Product Rating: 10
Recommended: No 
Pros: Lots of power, tight control and very sporty!
Cons: Honda knows of the transmission problem and won't fix until it goes out.
Only buy if you know it has a new transmission put in it. I purchased a 2003 CL in April of 2003 and started having problems right away. The dealership wouldn't listen and this week my life was put at risk when the transmission went out on the freeway
