Thinking of buying the 2002 Acura CL?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Acura CL for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2002 Acura CL before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 44 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, air bags and electrical system. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The 3.2L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined: about 34 litres every 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $58.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the CL
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 396 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the CL on your commute, then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $196 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.60 in fuel.
