1998 Acura CL

This car has been excellent

By CL Believer (OR) on Saturday, July 07, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 229,000

Pros: "Reliability, simplicity, longevity"

Cons: "Cramped back seat"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I am the second owner on this 1998 CL. I can honestly say if I didn't need the additional passenger space, it would have been my car until it died. Aside from the timing belt needing to be replaced on the scheduled basis, this thing has run reliable with no issues. It handles like a champ and my five year old affectionately calls it, "daddy's race car.""

"I've owned this '99 CL 2.3 for over 2 years and I have only replaced the brakes and battery. It has almost 140k mils and going strong. Would look to have a newer Acura but it's hard since this car is paid for and reliable."

Most Reliable!

By Ryan (NY) on Tuesday, April 03, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 247,000

"I bought my Acura at 200,000 miles. This is really nothing compared to how long it really lasts. The only issues it came with were the power seat has issues working at times. It has been my baby and has never let me down. It just keeps going no matter what and there are really no signs of it dying anytime soon. I have had a few mufflers replaced due to taking it on some bad roads. And have only recently had to put some minor repairs into it such as my radiator. Even with my radiator having issues before i could replace it, this car still drove like a champ. I wish i could get one of these brand new, which would definitely last me til i can no longer drive."
