2001 Acura CL vs. 88 Honda Accord
Well, I have been driving the Acura CL for 4 days now. I just cleaned out the old 88 Accord (245,000 miles), to put it on craigslist. I took 88 Accord for a quick drive around the block.
Oh, my god, how have I been doing this to myself for the past 3 years, driving the 88 Accord has been a good way to save some money ... But, I am so much enjoying from the CL.
My biggest concern, I see at least 1 or 2 speeding tickets in my future, and I am pretty sure the days of 35-37 mpg are over.
But, man the ride is sweet. I posted photos in my garage.
Have a great week.
PS. The windows will be tinted ... soon!

No comparison.
My cl is just a base with the bolt ons. every time I used brand new rental cars there is no comparison from the first turn of the wheel to the feel of the gas pedal getting pushed.
Never mind the options are comparable to newer cars.
heated mirrors,seats,6 disc in the dash,garage opener,etc. you know the options
Most would agree you get alot of car,all around car for the money.

Whats up with RDX owners?

Pick up a set of headers for the CL. As long as you drive like a normal human being your gas mileage will actually increase slightly. You should still be able to get about 28-30mpgs out of it.

Are you talking about the XS headers? Id honestly go for the DC Sports headers instead. They cost more, but are better quality.

My CL is arguably the best car Ive owned. But I still miss my Prelude The CL is just a grown up, faster version of the Prelude IMO.

Rollin the SRT8 or my CLS
I had an 89 Accord for years, modded it up like crazy, you can see it on 89accord.com, but yeah in comparison to the CL-S, wow worlds apart, and I loved that 89. But the CL wow!
