CL Type-S

[Chris]

The RSX does look good in person.

The purpose of a sporty sedan is for drivers with families, so they need a practical car too.

Doesn't the CL-S manumatic allow you to keep control until close to redline. It doesn't automatically shift up say at 3000 rpm.

In first gear if you don't hit it ..it will shift up to 2nd but after that you have total control of the car and can hit redline . I hit the rev limiter on accident and it kinda makes me a bit worried but just from 1-2 is when it automatically shifts up .

How about downshifting?

Crappy Suspension ? Your Question is it Sporty or Luxurious, How about both ! And with My Sways: I'll lean more toward Sporty.

Floaty @ High Speeds? How High we talking ? Any car gets lighter at High Speeds (DUH) but at 3510 LBS I don't think it's any more FLOATY than your Ugly-Butted Maxima.

Transmission is Avg. I would agree. Some on our forum have had some problems, but 95 % haven't experienced Bad. Compaired to Manual it will be Slower shift. What do you expect. I guess you actually could design a better Transmission and SS on the CAR. I suggest you start now; maybe by time your 80 you'll still be clueless.

As for Back Seats. I don't sit back there but it's NOT uncomfortable, I just wouldn't want to take a Cross Trip Country in A COUP. For that fact wouldn't want to take a Cross country Trip in your Maxima either

Yeah it rules especially when u consider that crappy suspension it has. Is it sporty or luxurious? Which one Acura? Well you did a good job on making it neither. It feels real floaty at high speeds too.

Worst transmission I've ever felt. The triptronic shifts so damn slow, it's gotta 1-2 second delay. The normal automatic functioning is so slow and delayed, not crisp at all.

Back seats have no back support.

Engine RPMS are way too low on the freeway, car has to downshift two gears to pass anyone, and with that wonderful auto tranny you dont wanna have it downshift two gears.

Other than that it's an awesome car for the money. Honestly, it is a great car, but there are some critical things that I've listed above that just kill it for me.

As an owner for more than a year, I can say without a doubt that it is a great value. My previous car was a 1998 Maxima SE 5SPD. It was quick. A race between the two would be close but I didn't buy it for that. I bought it for the great seats, the great options that aren't options (only option is NAVI), the ride, the quietness (when I want it). Before that I had a Lexus GS300, before that a Mits 3000GT. I'm not saying it's the best, nut it's definitely not the worst.

I put a CAI on it and that increased the horsepower a great deal (according to my highly calibrated "butt-Dyno").

Make sure you get the bypass valve for the CAI.

I really dont think that i'll need a bypass valve in S.C. b/c It doesn't really flood down here and I dont plan on running my engine through a trench going 30 plus mph . I say this b/c my friend has had his Aem Cai on for a yr now and he's never really had a problem with the engine sucking in water . I guess its just one of those peace of mind things .

[Chris]

what is the CAI??

[F20C]

Cold Air Intake.
