With all this talk of bad trannys, warping rotors & failing actuators, I just thought I would post that everything is running just FINE on my 18,000-mile old Red Rocket.

A positive thread in the sea of complaints.

That is all......

I thought i was the only one here......

I just had my 7500mile service done to my CL--S and it is running the way it did when i took it off the lot with 0 miles on it.
I can really feel the difference.

I love my CL-S.

 

@ 13500 Mine runs the same as I got it too *

And I love it even better.






*: After a warping rotors and a new tranny

 

After the lower engine block being replaced at 3,000 miles, ignoring the persistent seats and console rattles, everything else is just fine.... time for oil change, 5,000 miles and i need to do 30k miles services...

Looking forward for the RES mod

 

hey, do you guys go to all those 1500miles, 3000 miles, etc services??? I was reading the service manual and theres sooo many of them, like I need a service every 1500 or 3000 miles. I never took my camry or bmw in for service ever, drove both up to 30k miles with no problem, then sold it. I don't believe in keeping a car more than 30k miles. So does the CL require u to go to all those services?

 

in a word, NO. it's overkill.

 

You don't believe in keeping cars for more than 30,000 miles?!?!?!?! Why? I could see maybe 70 or 80k, but 30? What is your reasoning?

 

He's a Japanese national...old habits are hard to break...

 

I just never keep a car over 30k miles, thats how my parnets taught me. Ever since my first car, they are like, never keep a car more than 30k miles, well that or till the warranty ends. Every car we had we sold it within 3 years or 30k miles. I guess thats how us asian do things, like buying houses with cash, cars with cash, never take loans, etc...

 

Well I have never heard anything like that. It must cost you a good amount of dough over time, though.

 

opps didnt finish typing and pressed submit by mistake. I got my license in 97, got a 97 bmw, sold it in 98 with 19k miles and got a trd camry, just gave the camry away with 22k miles and got the CL. My dad sold his 328 with about 20k miles, sold his lexus gs300 with about 14k miles and now he has about 11k miles on his lexus rx300 and looking at a new car. Sister had a maxima, she actually kept hers till 36k miles, sold it and just got a CL also.

 

Well I never had to pay for cars, this CL is the first car I have to pay for. So I dunno i'll see, maybe I'll wait till 40k miles this time or something.

 

31,000 miles, no problems at all.

(knock on simulated wood)

 

Mine has 18000kms and she is more then 1 year old now..stilling running really smooth and fast..well..fast enough for me

 

i wish i could drive mine, its still in the body shop, all the suspension is done, plus one new tire and 4 new wheels
just waiting for the sheetmetal and painting

 

well now since i've replaced my transmission... my car runs like new again! i can't even feel the shifts anymore

 

Almost 19k and only warped rotors which were turned at my 15k service to complain about. Oh yeah, and the car is faster.
