I guess I love it, what sucks is the damn resale value, after paying over 30k for this car new and getting dissed by dealers now, they can kiss my ass, I will keep this baby till it dies. Maybe do a 6 speed conv when I hit 100k. Car I did love and will miss forever was my former ride which I thought the CL was going to replace but it will NEVER get close, that was my 95 Legend CPE 6 speed with the door suction feature and the rear windows going down, ect that the CL never got to have............

I love my CL-S very much. It's still bone stock and I enjoy driving it a lot. I plan on doing some mods as money permits but I would still be happy it it were just plain stock.

bought it in 5/00 and never looked back. Recently got me a new clk 350 and I now have spouse and one daughter fighting to get into the seat, so I guess that's a vote of confidence. It never broke down on me, tranny is still strong at 69K miles, probably because I only took it to the track once.

I love my CLS i think my girlfriend loves it more tho' haha . She keeps telling me "You better never get rid of this car" I really love my CLS. Its got some pep' to it. I am constantly getting compliments on how "comfy" my car is to ride in. Got about 90k on mine and its still goign strong. Never really had any uncommon problems with it (aside from the tranny and srs light things)....

Dude
I like it but i'd love it if i got it repainted (Honda/Acura's black sucks!) and if it had a 6 speed and if it was RWD/AWD, but that's asking way too much. But i like it.

I've been getting "itchy" for a new car lately (browsing autrader, etc), but twice yesterday I was reminded about how nice a car I have...
As I was getting lunch at the fast food drive in, and the guy handing me my food said "Nice Car !!"... Leaving work, one of the women saw me getting into the 6spd, and yelled over, "I like your car!!"... (too bad she's engaged)...
So, even tho' I've had the car for 4 years now, I still get compliments on it... I might have "lost that loving feeling", but the CLS still rocks

i absolutely love my CL-S. prior to this i owned a two '91 acura legends (auto sedan, 5spd coupe) and to me they were my dream cars (within my price range that is) and i wasnt even considering parting with them. but one day i was driving past the acura dealership and saw an SSM CL-S with "6 Speed" and "260hp" stickers on the windshield and i immediately pulled a u-turn to check it out. when i got there i found out that it just so happened to have comptech headers and ice box already installed..no navi tho, 30k miles, $22,500
long story short i decided to sell both my legends and happened to get the checks for both of them on my birthday and go to the dealership to put the deposit down on the CL-S that day.
its been 5 months now and i still turn around and check out my car everytime i walk away and still love every second behind the wheel. the ONLY issue i have with my car is that it FWD, as opposed to RWD

I often wish I had just picked up a G35 when I traded my '01 5AT for an '03 6MT, especially when checking out resale on them. At the moment I am torn between riding out the '03 and looking into M-B CLK's, though it's a considerable price jump.
There's just not much else out there that excites me (that I can afford)...

Took delivery in May of 2003 with 187 miles on it... all the way to 42,4xx now. I love this car, but lately I've been thinking about moving over to an SUV (Northeast weather, recent home purchase), so I might be putting her up for sale in a couple of weeks.
