did the tranny fail
were there any rattles
did the healight fail
did the car just for some reason stay in 4th gear, and shift at 4000 rpms beause the PCM switch was bad
any strut problems
were the rotors just worthless since they were made for a car 500 pds lighter
what else am I missing?

I just test drove the 2.0t few weeks ago. Really great car and much better power than the 1.8t. I say go for it.

I'm just commented on my Acura
he said it was the first time he drove an Acura, and he sees why people love it...I figured I'd throw in why I hate mine.
I love the looks of it though.

Speaking of which, my buddy picked up a TLS. He came over and we went for a ride.. man being a passenger i was really impressed how the interior was. I guess I forgot how nice of a layout it is.

Most comfortable seats are on the 02-04 Jeep Grand Cherokees
Ask Ernie, he'll vouch. They are simply the most comfortable seats ever
I liked the murano seats as well...they were big, like sitting on a couch.
the CL's interior is very nice for a $30K car...I agree. just too many problems with it to ever look past them

I'd definately check auto insurance first. I work with someone who is 21 and he got a quote for 6k a year for auto insurance on a neon. My next renewal for the CL in June is going to have my insurance up to 6200 a year. If you're on your parents policy it won't be so bad, but it is going to be bad once you get your own policy.
