01 CLS ? Bulletproof?
Just wondering what kind of experiences you guys have had with repairs. Outside of the transmission issue(I am on my third tranny right now) I have had zero problems with my CLS. When I tell people I am considering another acura they think I am nuts.
Has everyone had as little problems with their CL's?

The only problems I've had with my '01 CLS (76k mi):
Replaced Tranny @ 50.4k mi.
Front Passenger Seat Motor Went Out.
On 3rd Set of Tires.
Thats It
I love my car and wish I could keep it but the miles are racking up and its time for something a little cheaper. 
If I could I would buy another Acura.

Tranny went at 21K, other than that, the normal rattle and squeak fixes and my rear speakers blew and were replaced about 2 weeks before the car got totaled by a drunk.

I dont think that acura can fix the tranny problem 100% theres always going to some issue with it but besides that ita a great car. Even the 96-97 lexus es300 has engine problems but its still one of the best selling lexus' out there now

Fogged passenger head lamp....going to get it replaced soon.
Ant7701, since you work on these cars so often. What causes the fogging. It's weird.....it only fogs up when I wash my car. It doesn't fog when it rains.

Here's what i've had in the first 8 months and 10000 miles of ownership.
Wheel scuffed at factory. Took off the lot this way and corrected at a later date.
Stock Head Unit replaced because CD error code.
Front alignment off, needed front camber adjustment.
Nagging rattles including the sunroof rattle fixed.
Exhaust system needed to be bolted a little tighter.
Rear bumber trim (a portion fell off the track).
Other than that, no complaints. The engine and clutch have been nothing but a true joy to get on
