Finally, a bona fide member (the wait is over!)

Late this afternoon I traded the keys to my 97' Integra for an 03' CL TypeS 6 speed. It is a wonderful Aegean Blue, with a spoiler on the rear deck. This is simply an awesome vehicle. The look, the purr of the engine. I patiently await the odometer to read above 1000 miles so I can enjoy for the first time the sweet song of the VTEC kicking in. Poor Integra did not come so equiped.

Have a great night and an even better tomorrow!!

Shawn S - Should you read this I have a couple more questions if you wouldn't mind a PM?? Thanks.

Thanks for all the well wishes. After composing that message, I when for a ride on one of those quintessential New England back roads. What a joy to drive this car!! Handles the corners well. Once I make the adjustment to a much larger car and a 1000 miles I will be living large!!

Collective - Thanks for the offer. I realized Shawn is not the only 6 speed owner. I have been following this very useful and informative forum for several months now, so no insult meant to any members by my asking questions directly of Shawn.

hey omoulton...welcome to the club.

I too moved from a 3rd gen integra to the CL-S. My advise to you is be careful when taking corners. The CL-S is a much longer (and heavier) car and after driving the Integra for seven years I was very used to the tight turning radius. The first week I owned the car I joined the "scratched rim club" on a corner I take everyday.

Also remember to allow more breaking room as the CL-S doesn't stop as quick as the lighter Integra.

You know...that is right! This car does feel bigger. I had a 92 Maxima and drove it fine...then when I got this car...a week later...rim scratch! I was like what the hell? But I notice I have to take some turns slightly wider out.

Congrats! I only hope in the 2003 models Acura has fixed the rattles, brakes, wind noise, and moonroof so it doesn't spoil your ownership experience!

Congrats on the ride. The color is nice too... not great like the Nighthawk Black Pearl but still OK. What color is the interior?

Best of luck with it!
