i'm not sure if there's been a poll, but do CL-Ps have as many tranny issues as CL-S? i'd figure the extra HP would be a factor.

No it neans you are man enough to be responsible and let someone else take the wheel when you aren't able to. Now if this happens every night, then you may be an alcoholic. BTW, thanks for not driving drunk, you may save someone's life (as well as your future).

As for the tranny - I have an '01 CL-S. The tranny went at 22K. At 41K it did a 5 to 2 downshift out on a freeway. Luckily I was slowing down anyway. At 80K the car did the same 5 to 2,also on a freeway, but it ran me off the road (I ended up between a lake, some palm trees and a cliff, nice). I am negotiating with Acura over getting another car (the "new" tranny doesn't shift right and I feel like I'm driving a ticking time bomb).

I bought my 02 CL-S in like June & I just spent a hair over $3,000 to have a new tranny installed! I dont regret buying my car but I sure hated handing over that kinda cash for a new tranny considering I havent had the thing 5 months yet!
My car however runs awesome now & I couldnt be happier with it. Its a win/lose situation..as long as you love your car & dont mind forking out money if it does break then go with the CL-S!
