I was thinking of getting a used one. Any reviews about the car? The one that is available does not have a rear spoiler, can i get one for less that 500 installed?

thanks

Love the car...You can certainly get one for less than 500 installed...I would actually recommend getting the M5 spoiler installed which looks very niie and sleek

elliot

you can probably get it for around 500.. might be closer to 700 but you'll be happy.. beautiful, awesome, fun, sporty, young, affordable, reliable car for the money..

dont sweat the tranny worries.. 100k warranty and acura is taking care of it.. it's a hot car and is still fairly exclusive on the roads.. enjoy!

sweet.. i currently have a VW GTI and belong to vwvortex forum.. this is very similar.. What do you mean about the tranny prob?

Due to design issues, the tranny has a short life span... check out the tranny fourm.

Btw, there's also aftermarket tranny kits for us now...

great car definitely do it...and get the M5 spoiler looks hot...cheaper too.

Where in Boston are you? Are you thinking of one from a dealer? If so, which dealer?

twocan

thanks for all the replies. what do you guys think about the type s? Is it a supercharger?

twocan

are you going to take them from me? I saw a few at North Shore Auto Mall in Lynn..

Well, $500 installed will be very tough.... we sell the spoiler for $500 shipped, which, if you shop around, is a low price. Like someone mentioned above, you can do the M5 spoiler for a lot less. I actually have it on my car and I love it. Oh yeah, we sell those too

As for the CL... go for it.. you'll love it. The CL/TL models have had some tranny issues, but just make sure that when you buy it you get the 7yr/100k powertrain warranty transferred to you and you'll be all set. Enjoy!!

Hardly. Just wanted to see which dealer, so some others on here could give an opinion of the service an' all.

BEETROOT

no, the S is not for a supercharger. its for the 'sport' or 'speed' package....better wheels, suspension, intake, exhaust, perforated leather. 260 hp instead of 220 or so in the regular version I think.

you can add a supercharger though for around 5 grand.

Got my 01 "S" from Clair Acura in Walpole.....good dealer, good prices.

BEETROOT

oh yeah stability assistance also comes in the type s (VSA)

225hp in the "regular" or "premium" CL.. but everything else is dead on

how much of a difference is in the type s exhaust, i thought the power came from the different intake manifold.

BEETROOT

exhaust = less restrictive I believe...not sure if it really enhances power at all or anything. Has a better sound I think though.
