Acura is horrible
Can you believe the problems these guys are having with their CL-S's?? I smell a recall and a class action suit. The cupholder thing is outrageous, and the dealers are no help at all. Whats going on Acura?????

I looked at it, but what are they talking about?
Some talked about Acura cup holder, some the gas tank.....???
If the gas tank is empty, it surely beacause:
1) Someone or you drove the car
2) Has a hole in the gas tank
3) The engine is not burning the fuel efficiently
???

It seems most problems are blamed on American workers. I am quite happy with the quality of my American built machine, and although it was not the deciding factor... the fact that it is American built helped persuade me to purchase this vehicle.

I agree with Mr. Hyde. I'm thinking about writing a letter to Acura and demanding they replace my TLS. The reason is simple:
It seems like once every week or so the car gets dirty just from being driven around every day! The result is that I have to keep bringing the car to a place that washes it and dries it for me. The problem with this is I have to pay for the car to be cleaned. Come on Acura! Get you act together already. Why should I have to wash the car just to keep it looking as good as it did when I first bought it.

dries my car for me with their dirty towels.) The worst is the birds that divebomb my car right after she is all clean and shiny. All this money and I have to spend all this time and effort cleaning it up all the time???? I guess in order to make the car so cheap at 33710 plus tax (cheap???
) they had to cut corners somewhere. How can Acura compete with anyone with blunders like this??? I am never going to buy an Acura again.
I should probably go trade in ona Toyota Xanax err I mean Camry right now.

Mr Hyde and Bigman:
You two tie for the funniest-person-on-the-board-today award...congrats...you may pick up your trophies by sending a $4000 paypal payment to austin519@aol.com, of course giving me your addresses.
And Bigman...I would have to say yours was the funniest if not because it hit home. I had a model gas powered plane, and a certain younger brother thought it just ran on "liquid"...horrible results I would rather not discuss, as years of therapy have allowed me to successfully repress it

God, I hate Acura too! The stupid car never goes the same amount of time on a tank of gas. You'd think Acura would have researched this fault. One time I fill up it lasts a week other times it only lasts 5 days. What up w/this? Oh yea some guy offered me some Beach Front property in Arizona, is this a good deal?
