I was happy with my loaded 97 Mercury Sable until I saw this baby sitting on the lot. There are is no Acura dealership within 200 miles of Peoria, so CL's are somewhat rare. For vainity's sake, I had to have the car. At first I was rather disappointed as the CL didn't seem much more powerful than the Sable around town. Both are rated at 200 hp, but I thought weight would make a bigger difference. That was before I hit the backroads a couple of days later. In the mid-range this car is a different animal. This car responds so wonderfully that I have a hell of a time trying to behaive. I find myself trying to find new and interesting routes to and from work. So this is what they call driving pleasure.

Power, Comfort and quality.

Turns like a large sedan. The turning ratio can be tighter. The gas consumption appears to be a bit high.

Have had this vehicle for a week. I am used to Sport cars, but I needed a daily driver sedan for work. I can say, overall Very Nice car. I have had the vehicle 1 week and I am still finding nice new things about the vehicle.

BMW 325 and Honda Accord. Nicer than both easy in every way.

Near perfection.

Could use a half inch in headroom, and a stealth subwoofer.
Could alway use more power, but with Comptech package, I'm ok.

Today is August 22, 2001. In August 2000, I started shopping for a new car. I test drove the 01 BMW 330Ci, 01 Acura CL, 01 Acura CL-S, & 01 Mercedes CLK320, & Corvette. All were excellent cars. In the end, I went with the new 2001 BMW 330Ci. After a year I found myself back at the Acura store, test driving the CL-S once again, (Could not get the CL-S out of my mind.). So, to make a long story short, I recently sold my 2001 BMW 330Ci, and I am now waiting for the 2002 CL-S to arrive. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed my bimmer, and I have gained an all new respect for BMW, but , , ,
Acura has truly captured my heart, and with a Comptech package, I will be at 290 heart stopping Horse Power! and still under warrenty. Long live Acura, and God help me.

Compared to BMW 330Ci, Mercedes CLK320, Mercedes CLK430, Dodge Viper, Corvette, Prowler, & Acura RSX. 01-02 Acura CL-S is best value hands down.
