Good Points

Ridiculous Power, Blows the doors off of most cars in it's class. Plenty of Extras for the price which is much less than most other luxury cars. Bose stereo system not the greatest but very nice overall (with the amplifier).


Bad Points

I can't say anything bad about this car, but I just wish it was turbocharged from Acura to compete with M3's, WRX's, and the like (not really a bad point though).


General Comments

I am proud to say that I currently am an owner of a pre owned extremely rare 2003 Acura CL Type S 6 speed. It was a one owner, no accidents, with 42,000 miles (a puppy). Man when the Acura dealer took me out for a test drive in this thing, I almost pissed in my pants the car is soooooooo fast. He skipped gears (from 1st to 3rd) and the cars tires chirped a little then vrooooooom. The other cars were so far behind us it wasn't even funny. What a car, and what a steal of a price I got it for (my secret). The seats are so comfortable that you could go to sleep in them and not wake up with a backache (I know I slept in it the first night I got it). I love this car to pieces and will keep it forever. It's so much better than it's slowmatic cousin with 20% more power to the wheels. Although the stereo could be better in some areas (more clarity, although okay)I can't believe that the "paper cone" speakers are that loud. Notice I said paper cone speakers. Unbelievable sound quality for paper cone so I'm not complaining at all. I could just imagine if you changed just the speakers to some after market MB Quarts, or Infinity Kappa's (which is eventually my plan, but I'm just going to rock the Bose speakers until they go on me) This car is phenomenal, no problems remotely close to the automatics, much faster (60 pounds lighter), and a pure sleeper that has people looking at me one they arrive at the light 2 minutes later than me. All that I can say is WWWWWWWWWWWWOW! 6spd all the way!
