I like big cars and I cannot lie

I drove my roomates GTI yesterday and it reminded me of some of the reasons i really like my CL. Don't get me wrong the GTI is sweet, nice interior, seats, and styling. But, to get into a comfortable driving position I was almost in the back seat.

I really do like having a larger car, I prolly won't ever go smaller than the CL, I like the amount of room I get in it, the trunk space, and the comfort of driving a large car, plus you can still fit into any parking space (may require a few back and forths tho)

just my $.02

I hate little cars cause I'm 6 ft 3 300 lbs(need i say more)
and big cars (like lincolns,caddys, and buicks) are like driving yahts
that's the reason i like in the middle.

Why the hell does my window sticker say that my CLS is a compact car?

It depends on your passenger volume and cargo volume combined, it the total volume is between 100 t0 109 ft^3, then it's compact car according to EPA. The numbers for 2003 Acura 3.2CL are 90 cubic feet for interior and 14 cubic feet for cargo, so the total is 90+14=104, which falls in the compact category. So CL is a compact car based on their calculation.

I agree....I need a certain size car. I loved my Prelude since the cabin felt "wide". I refused to get a car that felt less wide so I decided on the CLS. My fiance's Integra is just too narrow and small feeling for me.

Once you upsize, its hard to go back to a smaller car. While my minivan was in the shop, we had a 2K1 Sentra loaner car that made me realize that I still have a mild case of claustrophobia.

"I like big cars and I can not lie
And those other brothers can't deny
When a barge rolls by with tiny wheel gaps
And chrome dubs in yo' face you get sprung..."

me too, thats why i didnt get the rsx, integra or wrx, they were all too small. for me, the interior design is what i look for most in a car. it has to be nice, that what u look at when your drivin.

I love the CL-S, but i wouldn't mind a tighter turning radius and LESS BLIND SPOTS. My god is it hard to see in this car. The giant pillars obscure my view way too much.
