Appreciate your CL-S

I MISS MY DAMN CAR! Mine's been gone too long due to my recent accident. It's not going to be ready until the 14th due to the wheels having to be re-worked. Luckilly I still had my civic on the road, but it's like a cardboard go-cart compared to the CL-S.

Last night I found myself trying to find pics of silver CL-S's on the web at 3 am.....

What's your favorite thing about YOUR car?
Mine is the navigation system and the power.

My favorite thing is that it's not a CLS.

....lol...
i drive an 01' cl-s, and my favorite things about my car are the seats and the luxury/comfort you get w/a good amount of power. i would say my nav. but i like the txs/new tl navs more..they have bigger screens and a better set up.

Your post was funny, lurking at 3am for pix. Hate to say it but favorite thing is the 6 speed. that's why I put off getting the CLS when they came out. The Navi is cool but clunky to search.
Hope you get your silver love back soon. Glad to see someone else over 40 here too!

It'd have to be the sound system..

..after I've replaced the speakers, amp, and put in sat-radio and a 12" sub.

I really like the look of the car tho. And I keep looking at the SEMA kit wondering when someone will fabricate one.. :notsosubtlehint:

What I like the most...

It's a 6spd and it's paid for... and it's red.

123456, never knew you were over 40... I'm catching up to you guys

The average age of posters in this thread (so far) is suprising :killer:

Mine is that I dont see everyone else driving them. Especially SMR's like mine. Also that at 77k miles it is still as tight and smooth as day 1. This applied to the ride, the engine and the leather seats! next, the fact that I can get 32mpg average if I'm nice enough to it and even without being so nice, I can get 30! You cannot beat that. Then of course, that vtec sound when you get on it. I too just turned 40.....geezin.

  1. A shifter that feels like a Winchester rifle bolt
  2. A motor that sounds like Mozart wrote the music
  3. Leaving some youngster wondering what the hell it was that just blew their doors off.

Nice to see some other “grey beards” in the group still kicking ass.

i think the fact that you don't tend to see them avery day and the 6 speed do it for me. there is actually nothing about the car that i don't like!

Great power + good ride + rare = great daily driver.

Just wish it had better tires stock and maybe a touch less wheelgap. Those are easy to fix though.

This is my second CLS. I went with the 6-speed this time around. I love everything about it. Except the wheel gap. I still need to fix that.

It's good to see that there are still some experianced people on this board. "Sneeking up on 54 myself)
