Default BYE BYE S2k..HELLO CL-S 6spd

Well....I got tired of the unreliable sportster. Traded my car in today for a more practical...almost as fast.. 03 Acura CL Type S 6spd. Here are some pics. Thanks for a good 2 years S2ki.com...I'll visit often.

Congrats!! Your gonna LOVE it! I will admit that our CL/TL are having as much if not worse tranny problems then the S2K (and more rattel problems) but our cars are Much more practical for real life driving and just as fast in a strait line in most driving cases. But you will truly miss the handling of the S2000 and if you ever took your S2000 to the track, your really gonna suffer!

Its only the Auto trannies that are having problems..my mom has a 00 TL Premium..shes never had a problem..but they just extended her warranty for the tranny to 7 years 100k miles.. never heard about any trouble wit hhe manual...I made sure of the TSB's before i bought the car.

Des,

I think you're the only person to have more problems with an S2000 than I did (but then again I never took mine to the track).

No more differential problems... no more differential!

Good luck and congrats on the new purchase!

Ldog..

Im with you on that. My mom was the one that told me she'd pay the difference if i get somthing more practical and reliable. She loves the car i choose...*not surprising concidering she has a 3.2TL Premium*.. The difference was only 8grand...the CL-S was 33,000. They gave it to me for 30k..and gave me 22k for my modded S. Pretty damn good...But this dealer up here is awesome.. They fix EVERYTHING with out question... I considered it because of you man..and i thank you for it.. Im alot happier... Cant you tell.
