I left Acura in 2016 to join the Nissan Maximites, I wanted brand new 300hp car and sadly my 2003 CL - S felt better than that Maxima, Then I went back with that crowd that really loves their cars - its Bimmers and bump anything else, lol. Got my dream car (2021 M550) and love the hell out of that car. Now that I'm looking for a daily driver and I'm looking at all the usual suspects (Audi, MB, Honda, Lexus, Acura). I decided that I'm going to bring my old CL back to life. I gave it to my moms in 2016, she drove it for a couple of years until she couldn't do the lower type cars anymore. Some family members drove It from time to time, but of the most part it's been sitting in her driveway collecting dust for the last 3 years. It is in the saddest of states you would want to see your old car. I would go home and look at it like " I'm so sorry I did this to you, please forgive me, I didn't know better, I thought they would cherish you". My moms tried but she lil too old to be OCD with keeping up a car and my pops just drives them, pretty much. So this thread will be a revival of my former love and me coming back home to the brand I wish I never had to leave for more HP (Hello Acura, bigger interior than a TLX and more horses, will bring us all back).
I will load up some pics of how she looks currently once I get her back at my house and start documenting this new journey. It looks nothing like that profile pic, she's been deprived. It will be a challenge but it says something about a car when you can pretty much get anything within reason, but that Type S CL is a serious love affair that I don't have with no other car brands besides BMW. Driving it felt so good and happy to be back around fellow smart car buyers like yourselves. Acura people are different from other brands buyers, IMO I feel like we are little more smarter when it comes to seeing the value in cars. That Bimmer was not a value decision, it was purely lust that I was willing to live with long term, LMAO. 500+hp is a wonderful thing , but not as a daily driver for sure.
Some of the best or first services you should consider performing, once in immediate possession, is to change the ATF filter, pull & clean all (#6 & #7) linear solenoids & perform a 3X3 with honda ATF, especially if the car has sat for long periods due to intermittent / sporadic use.
