1997 Acura CL 2.2 FWDReview

Great Little Car — Been a great car, no real issues except a transmission rebuild at 200,000 kms. Now at 340,000 and still going strong. Minor brake issues, but I need to take care of those soon. Bosy is still in great shape and the car still looks good. Here are 3 more words. Let me post this now. Pros: Reliability, looks, economy Cons: Transmission rebuild |

Great Overall Car — This is probably the most practical car I've owned. Good MPG, very cheap to maintain, minimal issues. I changed the oil regularly and that was about it. Good MPG for long highway commutes. If you have the 5 speed manual it's pretty fun to drive, though its definitely not a fast car. Two door design may draw complaints if you tend to pile the friends in. Pros: Reliable, good overall quality, unique rear design, somewhat sporty, good MPG Cons: Too practical(?), kinda slow, my 1984 Nissan had a fancier interior |

Cute Sports Car That Drives Very Well — I like the style & I find the car comfortable. This car has a manual transmission which gives more control driving & manual transmissions are great on gas. Very sporty car & it drives like a dream. Check it out I'm sure you'll like it... Pros: Drives smooth & quiet & is fast. Decent sound system Cons: Don't like two doors anymore due to having two kids |

Not Bad For A First Car. — I liked the fact that you can put stuff in the trunk from the back seat by putting down the arm rest. Also, I could fit a lot of different things up at the front with me, inside the driver arm rest and within the front console. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: The car maneuvers well, and the wood grain lining on the console is a nice touch. Cons: It's a small car, and like any coupe, is tough to get people in and out of the back. |
