First off, just want to say hi to all the guys and gals in here. I'm new to this forum.

I'm planning to buy a used acura cl 3.0 premium (97-99), but have a major concern about this car. I've read across many user reviews from all over the web, and almost half of them says the car "has really wide radius turns". So does it really have a wide radius turn? If so, how bad?

ps where's the picture gallery!!

 

I think the radius is pretty normal and welcome to the club my friend.

 

thanks,

anyone else have a take at this?

 

Welcome to the board, you post your questions about the 3.0CL in the 1st generation forum, you'll get more help there from people who currently own 1st generation CLs.

 

My CL has a terrible turning radius. FWD cars tend to be that way. Otherwise the CL is a great choice.

 

i used to drive a 6 gen accord which should compare to your cl.

the cl-s turning radius does in deed suck! my 2002 cl-s handles well at turns and curvy roads but when you want to bust a U-turn she cant do it well. at a 2 lane intersection if i want to make a U turn i have to do it slow or i will not make it. this also makes parking just a tad bit difficult too (but nothing rediculous).

but i think i can live with the wide turning radius

thanks everyone,

i'll post this in the first gen board!
