2001 Acura 3.2 CL

The last visit we had with the Acura CL 1999 Toyota Camry Solara SLE compared head to head with in the month of September came. Acura 3.0 CL, at one point we are lost; Complain - we've complained loudly, but complained - CL less than satisfactory, quieter ride, cramped rear seat and we complained about bumpy transitions under hard acceleration.

A completely new Acura CL for giving us this and then some have been addressed, Acura TL sedan, this time based on the current Honda Accord chassis instead of the last generation accord was based on the 1999 CL. (CL, model year 2000 is behind us.) We stayed from nine TL sedan sedan comparison last month in first grade we are very satisfied. Love the four door TL if the CL we're gonna really two doors, aren't we? Well, not yet. 2001 3.2 CL (thankfully, the four-cylinder version of the 2.3 Cl) is very similar to the TL, so competent, fast, quiet, and comfortable. However, a weak personality, lack of infertility, it's not quite, but close - a family instantly seems acceptable sed; less a sporty coupe. I mean, we're not talking about dan quayle or Al Gore here, but the Acura 3.2 CL looks quite soft. Given these statistics, which is amazing for 3.2 CL Type S is even true. Type S (it was very windy by Acura to get a model thought to be very civilized, it's clever, but fun Integra model), 260-horsepower version with a 3.2-liter V-6, pumping a still respectable 225 HP 3.2 CL, 3.2 TL. This is a 35 extra ponies, mostly, 3800 rpm with twin beds separated by a valve at the intake Plenum flour that uses a dual-stage induction comes from a system; a solenoid valve opens and the intake pressure waves reflected along the length of the rails produces a natural resonance supercharging effect. A bigger catalytic converter and higher-flow dual mufflers because of the type s, and domed pistons benefit from better flow exhaust (3.2 CL base compression ratio 9.8: 1 10.5: 1 raising it to), spin-cast-walled cylinder liners, intake valves, different camshaft and different. There is very little penalty in fuel consumption, no distance and no chauffeured vehicles - EPA rated at 19 MPG city and 29 MPG on the highway the 3.2 CL and Type S 18 and 28 percent received. Not bad, 200 hp '99 3.0 CL remained at 20 and 28. In either case, the 3.2-liter V-6, is one of the softest tools you will find. VTEC valvetrain, and the power to maximize each speed it runs all the time. In the model both CL TL's five-speed sequential automatic gearbox is equipped with sports shift feature, unfortunately no manual is not available or is designed. Gearshift quality, we match in CL and Solara complaining four speed is much better. The sequential sportshift feature sportier than the CL, but from this angle more than the TL does not appear. Otherwise, what else is new? It's a little bit. CL, Acura's "global midsize platform resides in, because the car is growing a bit. 106,9-inch wheelbase maintained, but the Overall length is two inches to 192. Than a half inch in width and rises up to 70,6; Height, 55.5 54.7 inches. 3.2 CL weighs approximately 300 pounds from last year's model. Type S, mostly in the 17-inch tires and 16 inch rims and a larger rear stabilizer bar and the base of the pieces CL Type S as standard on the vehicle changed the structure because of stability, but also heavier. The optional navigation system in both models is approximately 15 pounds. Inside, better insulation virtually eliminates the noise that comparisons Complain in September. The cubic volume of the interior of the front seat 51 52 moon, for a total of four cubic feet to 38 cubic feet in the back is rising. The arched front leather seats are pretty good and the rear seat is minimalist, although it seems a little more hospitable. The majority of our time was used up in the new CL Type III limited and this is a really cool time it was. Fell of the treadmill between 0 to 60 mph for seven seconds the timer manually, and the last was definitely faster than the 3.0 CL we tested, it took 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 60 mph in this speed. The line type s in a strange way seemed to have slowed down, but the medium was perfect power. As soon as we receive it on a type S. we testable quarter milte expect a time of 15 seconds.

Breasted P215 / 50VR-17 Michelin MXM4 tire grip and was quiet, and he was pulling down without drama Type S front and rear disc brakes. (Three-channel ABS standard in the CL standard, four-channel is standard on Type S) Type S suspension with firmer springs and damping, even increased slightly softer looks. When pushed into a sharp turn, shows the driving direction s of the type expected, but the front end sticks to the front for a long time. ABS traction control and vehicle stability-regulating and integrating the fly back thanks to the help of laxity, you will need to break a pretty extreme thing to do. Like us and we always liked CL 3.2 CL allows you to. The Type S offers a little harder, a little harder edge for smooth riding and his ability to change a bit if you choose target market the type of S may not be much of we understand that. Acura 3.2 TL with sales success, we provide a validation of the lessons we have learned - and offers a very well endowed model who almost have no choice but we are selling at a reasonable price. A CL is the standard for practically everything you want - an electric Sunroof, leather upholstery, Electric seats, six disc CD changer with Acura / Bose AM / FM Cassette, heated front seats, Xenon high-intensity -Discharge headlights - name. The only option I mention above (excellent) in-dash navigation system that is probably about 2000 $. Us label which leads me to this: How in the case of this writing, prices are to be determined, although it has $ 32,000 in the NAV-equipped type s to about $ 28,000, we expect to run 3.2 CL without NAV. Sells Acura CL Type S navigation system will be 15 percent and perhaps 40 percent of buyers will want. Compared to this, last year we tested the NAV-less '99 3.0 CL 26.714 $ cost. A significant improvement over 3.0 CL 3.2 CL and the Type S is better than. We can't wait to see what the aftermarket feature the evil they've done to him - where we can find Extra the extra edge that we were looking for.
