2003 Acura CL 2 Dr 3.2 Type-S Coupe Review
ProsVery nimble, handles very well and fun as hell to drive. Great acceleration. Styling is a work of art. ConsSun-roof controls should be up by roof but are to the left of the steering wheel. Car is not as quiet as I would expect especially at high speeds.

Best Looking Acura Made. — For a mid sized 2 door car there is lot of room, the trunk is very large and the seats are extremely comfortable. I really like the DVD based navigation and I have the very rare 6 speed manual in mine so it's like a race car to me. So far my only gripes are minor such as the fact that the On-star system that came in the car does not work and cannot be made to work because they used analog hardware that cannot be updated. Also, I don't care for the mirror that tilts down by itself when backing up. Primary Use: Commuting to work

ProsComfort, Acura build quality and reliability. Highway cruising is fun and relaxing. ConsWeight distribution due to FWD. Avoid the automatic transmission in ALL V-6 Acuras from 01-03 CL and TL

2003 Acura Cl-s (6spd-m) — Best car that I've ever owned. loaded with luxury comforts, smooth at highway speeds, quiet inside. Will do 100 with minimal effort, capable of130+. . 40mph to 80 happens in a flash. Mine is the 6speed manual. Only problems have occured because of faulty maintanance by Firestone. (never again). Only complaint: being front wheel drive the weight distribution is front-heavy. Therefore high speed handling /braking could be better. Front brakes only last about 30k due to the weight. | ||

ProsEverything I've done to it!! ConsThe only bad thing I'd have to say about this car is it's brakes. Other than that, it's perfect!!

Absolutely Awesome Car!!! — This is an absolutely great car!! I've owned it for almost 3 years now and have NEVER had a problem with it!! Acura really went all out when they designed this car, and it's a shame they stopped making them. I bought the car for $18,500 off the lot with only 30k miles, and it was absolutely flawless!! Some of my current modifications include: -Comptech Sport Icebox Cold Air Intake -Comptech Sport Headers -Greddy Evolution II Cat-back Exhaust -Unorthodox Racing 3-Piece Pulley Set -Eibach Pro Kit Dampers & Springs -Comptech Sport Titanium Strut Brace -Comptech Sport Sway Bars -Denso Iridium Spark Plugs -K&N Drop In Filter -Kaixen 8500K HID Bulbs -Clear Blinker Bulbs -20% Llumar Tint All around -Pioneer Avic-D2 Navi/DVD w/ Ipod Interface & Rear Camera -'07 TL-S Shift Knob -Passport Escort 8500 X-50 -18'' RonJon Servo's Wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE01R's | ||

Perfect Everyday Car For A Person That Actually Likes To Drive. — Simply the best car ive ever owned, power when you need it , fuel economy when you want it. It is a well balanced sporty luxury couple. This is my second CL-S so I know what to expect. No out of the ordinary problems so far. Nice to drive something you dont see everyday.

My Super Coupe — One of my all time favorite cars I've ever owned, my TL always has never let me down. From the time I purchased it to know, it has always drawn attention, it's sleek and when I added the tint. Boom "Blackout" was born... Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Prosfast, powerful, quick. Consgas milage 
25
Great Car — like: speed and sportyness of the coupe dislike: gas milage and body look. Exhaust system sounds great and the Xeon Aftermarket lights are extremly bright (white). Also the Bose suround sound stereo system sounds amazing and the bas that comes with it is very good. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsStill runs great and maintain it's power Cons2 door vehicle
25
Red Beauty — This Red Beauty still runs beautifully and has great performance. It still maintains a slick clean look. I enjoy driving my Acura CL type S, the extra Horse power gives it that extra punch. This 2003 CL is the last two door vehicle besides the NSX that Acura manufactured. It is definitely a great car and am disappointed that there is no longer a two door Acura. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsFun to drive fast ConsFront drive

Classy Upscale Stealthy Fun — Best interior layout of any coupe. Low dash, big glass, low beltline. Great performance if you keep it in high revs. Tight handling for a front drive, yet nice, quiet ride. Excellent mpg, build and reliability, no repairs in 8 years. A beast in snow with all season performance tires. Best Honda product ever. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2003 Acura CL Review
Proscomfortable fast u will be suprised how hard it pulls .realiable ConsFWD and brakes
35
Great Car For Daily Driver And Also Fun Maker For A Weekends — i bought it for 13k with 45k miles. its 6 speed and i love it drove many cars and nowhere i can find so much room and also fun from driving. car is great but needs to be lowered what i already did with tein springs and tokico shocks. its amazing cruiser and whenever u want can put some other car into a shame. brakes could be better for that weight. also this car would be much better in RWD not FWD but limited slip diff helps alot. i tried a 1/4 mile race with nice 14.3 result. i put into shame couple of nice cars like RX8 s2000 wrx 330i g35. the best thing about this car is nobody expect that this car is so fast. stay away from auto transmision. sould of the VTEC is like habit u try once u are not gonna stop it. now i have 65k miles and im glad i ve bought this car. its comfortable. gas milage isnt to bad. on the highway i went for over 32 mpg on the cruise control 70mph. deff reccomend this car for people whos looking for a car which is gonna be somthing more that a thing to move from A to B Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsNot a car that you see every day. And Acura only made 1,700 6-speeds. Consdriving in rain/snow. (torque)
25
If You Can Find A 6-speed, Buy It. — LOTS of torque, V-TEC kicks around 5,500 RPM. But it has a nice smooth pull, unlike my GSR which was a swift kick in the pants at 6,800 RPM. The Type-S (silver) trim is nice with the ebony interior. Much better than the standard 'wood' trim package. BOSE system is ok for a stock set-up. Overall, great car - very quiet cruiser that screams when you get on the gas. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
