Another annoying issue with CLS
I know most of you do not use their horn!
However, that dam thing does not go off easily. If I pushed hard in the middle nothing happens, my best way is to hit hard somehere near the edges. I need to scare the shit out of those 90+ zombies driving 15MPH on the HW ramps..... OMG, can't they call a cab!

- Trunk liner,
- Acura Spoiler.

I thought i was the only one having trouble sounding the horn. The whole time, i kept thinking that I missed hitting the horn or something because it only squeeks/beeps...no honk!

Big P: Yeah, my Maxima had the weakest, lamest horn! This big car had a horn that couldn't scare a sleeping baby bird! I could yell louder than that horn.

The horn on my Integra Type R was pretty lame so if I wanted to scare someone I would just let VTEC kick in. The horn on the CL is much better but I'd like to get an air horn to really scare people.

I like the horn on the acura, a hell of a lot better than the one on my tacoma. It took me a while to figure out you have to hit the logo to make the horn go off. Go figure. My maxima horn is great too though

No problem here with my horn. The loudness and the sensitivity of setting it off are both just fine.

Maybe I was hiting "low" and that would where the Air Bag is. I noticed as mentioned above, by hiting at Acura logo or above, everything would just fine.
Oh I used to love those MBenz (early 70s) circular rings that yo need to push to activate the horn. Used to be very loudish too....
