Basically a nice, fun car to drive. However, transmission is weak and Honda (Acura) refuses to acknowledge a known problem past the warranty period. My transmission went out at 61K even though I did a complete ATF replacement at 40K. I was told by Honda Customer Service to have it evaluated by a dealer who charged me $150 to drive it 10 feet and say it was blown. When I called Honda to report their findings, I was told it was out of warranty at 50K. Why should I be advised to pay $150 for the service assessment if Honda were not going to cover a transmission repair on a recalled problem? Brakes also s**k...they vibrate when hot.

It is held up for long time is pretty reliable.
Old a few transmission problems but comfortable functional affordable my own love it. Smooth ride reliable old fashioned manual windows lack of modern features nice blue color. Big and roomy. Has some scratches because I have had it a while but not a big deal love it.

Right now it needs the rear motor mount replaced but that is about it.
Other than the 250k miles I have no complaints. It's a very nice car. It's a sport version of the cl which made it the top of the line at the time.

If you are looking for a starter this is your car.
Well since it is an older car it sometimes runs a little rough. However, since I do regular maintenance I find that other than it not having aux or good ac it in a great starter car.

That it always needs to be worked on.
I dislike the fact that I have to constantly be upgrading parts. Something always seems to be broken with it. I like how comfortable the seats are.
It has the most amazing features. It is truly the best. I love its performance, it is fast. It is reliable. It is comfortable. It is great. Everyone loves it. Space is good. Space is good. Space is good. Space is good. Space is good. Space is good. Space is good. Space is good.

It works, however it is from time to time uncomfortable driving.
My vehicle, yet old, gets the job done and more. It has been running for about 16 years with little to no issues, however the quality of the inside such as space and the seats were not really thought through,

My car is not physically damaged, it runs great and is very good on gas
I have a 2002 acura brand new starter, nothing wrong with the engine, good on gas low mileage, air conditioning and heater works wonders

It is a great driving car. Cannot tell how fast you are going..
It is nice looking but it have a transmission problem and gas price is high and the seats will not let up.

If taken care of and serviced, it' a really great running car.
It is more like a luxury car. I like the digital dash and the heated seats. The only thing I do not like is all the problems that I have been having with the wheels and brakes.

The reliability of the engine, and the length it will go without need repairs
This vehicle is very reliable, and I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to buy a car that retains its value and does not need to be repaired all the time.

Classic luxury for an affordable budget.
Seat warmers & side mirror that lowers while backing makes it feel like a luxury car. Leather seat shape makes it hard to fit a cover on it snugly. Great trunk space.

Looks way better than it should.
Runs great. There is no accident history, just fixed 2 days ago for engine problems fine now, there is a/c and heat.

The great performance of the 2002 Honda Accord.
The car I drive runs very well and takes me where I need to be. There are small problem with the air conditioning not working and a weird sound when the car is in motion. Even though the car has problems it still runs great enough for me to use it. The seats are very comfortable and I find the car easy to drive and to figure out. The car is an older model so there are some rust stains on the outside but otherwise it is easy to clean when needed. Overall the cars performance and reliability is great.

TL is more common than the CL model, more parts are available for the TL.
I like the V8 Engine, has a lot of kick to it. The mileage is not as good and runs on premium gas which could be better. It's a car that can go another 50,000 miles knowing It's only a 2002.

Would buy again! Very impressed with the high quality of this vehicle.
The vehicle works great. I have had very few issues with it. The dealers are great to work with. It does make some rattling noises but what car does not I guess. It is great on snow and in summer. Heat and ac work great. Speakers are high quality. Accelerated quickly and the steering is perfect.

Comfort and affordable and gas friendly
Comfort and affordable on gas. It is great for long drives to the beach or in town. Not the best for long distances (a couple hours plus) as the seats are not very well built. I would say however, that this car, for the money, is one of the best I have purchased in the past 10 years.

This vehicle can perform like a manual transmission or automatic.
The Acura cl is a great vehicle because it performs like a sports car and is great on gas. I have had no serious issues with this vehicle and have only replaced some minor things like rotors, brakes etc. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to purchase a new vehicle.

It's a fast little demon for a cheap as I got it
My car is a 2002 Acura CL base model I purchased this car in 2017 about 2 years ago and since buying the car the engine had ran like a stallion, I've only replaced the battery, brake light switch and the spark plugs. All of this being just normal wear and tear on a car this old. No major issues. Goes to show you take good care of an Acura it'll take good care of you!

The review and opinion of an old Japanese car Acura
Issues. The car always has issues. The AC broke the steering has a leak the gasket was bad and the brakes needed to be replaced. I would sell the car if it didn't have so many issues. This is a Japanese and shouldn't have so many issues. It has cost a lot of money in repairs.
