1998 Acura CL 3.0 Premium Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[SicilyJo]

I have a 1999 Acura CL with 225,000 miles and still going strong. I just can't give it up!

[JsnLwrnce]

can you do a review of a mazda millenia?

[Annihilator1111]

the transmission on the 1997-1999 Acura CL

Transmission

4-speed automatic

5-speed manual

[Sayakawill]

Anyone notice that the back of the car looks like the new ugly TL?

[pmoney516]

how much would this car be?

[SchulzNIG]

thank you for this! getting one in a week!

[Vitaminous]

'asstray'

I lol'd.

[Bagadaboats]

how come all the honda and acura cars of this generation always have the stame crank sound even though they are all different engines?

[locoguy2427]

@Bagadaboats i believe its the same starter that is used. honda and acura are basically the same thing. Acura is a more luxrious version of a Honda.

[Bagadaboats]

@locoguy2427 i know that. but from around 1991 - 2005, honda and acura cars had the same exact starting sound. now every car sounds different.

[SilentServiceCode]

The engine bay is like, minter than mint

[NEWanjingkepala3]

what is the exact Honda counterpart of this car??

[bigvuch]

@NEWanjingkepala3 This accord. Same engine and chassis i believe.

[oneirishpoet]

now this is the kind of sporty, reliable, good handling, well appointed car that's very reasonable and affordable to drive...one of the reasons I've driven Honda/ Acura for over 30 years...my 8 year old Acura TSX bought used for $12K with only 45K miles is the best car I've ever owned and it's performance, handling and reliability is better than any BMW for twice the price!

[Coatboo334]

how much for this ?

[jmurray01]

Ah, of course, I see the connection now. Acura is a Honda product, and so was Rover for a while in the nineties. Got it now!

[Annihilator1111]

@jmurray01 well its was for the 80s Honda had partnership with British Leyland and the first car i think was really a Honda was the Triumph Acclaim for 81-84

[jmurray01]

Wow, those indicator/wiper stalks are the EXACT same as in my 1998 Rover 200 (a British made car, not available in the US or Canada). It seems the same parts were used by different manufacturers...

[SuperR1991]

I never liked acuras

[buickboy92]

Damn what a great car! I love Acura! :)

[braxmed]

My dad had one from 04-07. Awesome awesome coupe. Bose system. Wish you had unlocked it in the beginning to hear the chirp !!

[counkev]

Wow, this is a wonderful coupe. Great engine, nice interior, good leg room in the back, and good amount of trunk space. Everything that most people would want in a coupe but don't always get.

[LOGAN6360]

at 07:08 i always listen to that song on gta 4

[Kandres027]

@liuping999 I have one of these too and I know what you mean when parking

[zoomdirt2]

that engine is clean!!

[dundermiflin892]

200HP? WOW That 3.0 liter engine has come along way.

[Anfordrew]

Those seats look EXTREMELY comfortable!

[DerAdventurer]

Awesome automobile! Thanks for sharing, Kyle!

[TheRenoVega]

I love that your videos are so random, one day can be a ferrari, and the other day an acura. I like randomness

[bobb3878]

OMG i think my alarm clock emit a beeping noice

[HoccyB]

What a strange colour. Somethimes silver, sometimes purple..

[Uncemister2]

@2:14 I heard me a sexy susie pullin away

[hugochiva93]

It looks like a Honda Accord on the inside

[gm1990ss]

lots of honda accord fingerprints on the interior....nothing wrong with that!

[scorpioeddie84]

I had one of these. Fun, classy car... I have good memories of it.

[shocktrooper1000]

Nice shape would rather have the manual

[GeneralGHustler]

LOL this was 2nd car i ever bought myself lol

[sparkarna]

Another car ive never even heard of before. Kyles channel has really broadened my car interest over the years.

[casmatori]

Great video! I wonder if you could find any Peugeot 505s from the late 80s/early 90s?

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

that is some funky font on the speedo

[bmwmsport11]

@th3m8ngtree im talkin people who dont take their cars on washes. person i know brought a 06 lexus rx330 in 2008 with no rust. they brought it in the beginning of winter and after 2 seasons it started to rust on the hood and rear wheel wells. my cars dont rust except on the bottom but thats after 6-8 years

[bmwmsport11]

wow 65k. thats rare. even more cause where i am 75% of cars 2 yr old are rusting. great video

[th3m8ngtree]

@bmwmsport11 2 year old cars rusting O.o where do you live!?

[suddenlyvlogs]

That has to be one of the oddest font choices for a gauge cluster I've ever seen.... I like it

[WHOO222]

i wish my 98 integra came with all this stuff. the only nice thing is a sunroof

[thisxdamnxgood]

Kyle, it'd be cool if you did like a semester abroad and did foreign cars in their home markets :) (preferably Japan)

[PS2Gameplays]

@thisxdamnxgood He's going to Europe next year.

[tocaracer06]

V-TEC kickin yo!

[simplepersons123]

nice viedo... u should do a 1990 acura legend

[SpartanG6]

late 90's and early 00s acuras are some of the better cars ever built in my opinion. Decent engines, quiet ride, and forever reliability. Not the best choice for the enthusiast but its a worthy investment for a DD.

[chris000089]

@SpartanG6 don't forget the bad transmissions

[tomtom5418]

Ahh...LOVED my 99 CL 2.3. Kinda miss it. Fantastic video as always Kyle!

[cm18cam]

These cars are so nice and very hard to find where I live.

[MrTheMiguelox]

Tha horn at 01:39 made me jump.

[ladysguy28]

Wow for 98 year, it mostly looks like it is 2002

[Coatboo334]

@ladysguy28 thats what i was thinking !

[nfsracer67]

the tail lamps look a little like the merc. cl tail lamps..

[flexor212000]

You need to give newer acura's some love too..

[UnboundLegend]

@flexor212000 Yeah!!! Especially the 2012 TL or TSX SE!

[saabkyle04]

@flexor212000 after this semester is finished up I will be traveling there and land rover

[patrickkpt]

@saabkyle04 YES LAND ROVER FTW haha

[mmmbilly]

@saabkyle04 Can you get the Land Rover Defender in states? If so Iit would be ngood to see you do a vid of one!

[Annihilator1111]

the engine on the 1997-1999 Acura CL

Engine

2.2 L F22B1 I4

2.3 L F23A1 I4

3.0 L J30A1 V6

[Annihilator1111]

the 1997-1999 Acura CL was assembled in

Marysville, Ohio, United States

[peacefrog0521]

@Annihilator1111 [BUZZZZZ] Sorry, wrong answer. It was built in East Liberty, Ohio.

Honda-Marysville didn't start building Acuras until the introduction of the '99 TL sedan.

[Goldenrod636]

I always liked these older Acuras.

[2004chevybrandon1]

damn it's mint for 65,000 miles me likely

[manofthefog]

LOL that first beeping sounded like those old cheap square blue alarm clocks

hahaha

[Jll3001]

Man that speedo is ugly!

[5315andrebras]

can you show de evo eigth

[uberjorge5737]

Older Acuras where much more European looking

[JedemPoKucama]

i'm sorry, i'm not in touch with automatics, but what's the difference between neutral and park? btw i'm thirteen :). Greetz from Croatia.

[wotan20]

@JedemPoKucama Neutral is the same as with manual, that is, it can be pushed. The parking gear however fixes the car in position, so even in an incline or decline, the vehicle won't roll away.

[JedemPoKucama]

@wotan20 tnx man ;)

[xoquixxoqafxo]

Wow, what a beauty and a rare find. I want.

[WhatYeahOkay88]

I love these old CLs

[PeterGriffen260]

No matter what the car, his videos are great!

P.S. If you can, please do a range rover review please!

[kkuhn83]

Nice videos, you should make one of the Acura/Honda NSX, If you find one, kinda rare I guess

[Jakeman21642]

@kkuhn83 I don't think he should because he already did :P Use the search bar on his channel next time!

[saabkyle04]

@kkuhn83 I do have an older video of one!

[saabkyle04rock4life]

@saabkyle04 you rock

[06acc]

Honda better start doing the new Accord interior like this one. Very little if any hard plastic.

[varunjaitly360]

Can you please do more acuras?

[adasdqweqw]

When will you upload the Aston Martin Virage Volante video?

[pwned2122]

first time i think ive ever heard u say ash tray in any of your videos lol

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

And chance of seeing the Mitsubishi Evolution or Z06 video next week?

Anyways, This was a pretty good car for 1998. I remember it being one of the best cars at the time that wasn't all too expensive.

[slyguyaction]

Great review Kyle. I know that Acura is the luxury brand of Honda, but couldn't help but notice all the Honda Accord parts in it. Even the ignition chime. Reminded me of my '90 Accord back in the day. Super luxurious cabin tho! Loved it. Thanks again...

[rubioedwin80]

KYLE DO A TOYOTA TACOMA TRD SPORT!! YOU HAVENT DONE ANY TACOMAS!!

[jvrG20]

chrystler 300 *

[jvrG20]

can you show us a crystler 300?

[saabkyle04]

@jvrG20 I have several of the M and C a couple generations too

[MrCars]

@saabkyle04 A touring is all thats missing

[matiasroro]

@jvrG20check the other videos bro .. kyle has a collection lol

[7cindygan3]

front like accord , back like CL ??! wow...

[WorldzGreatezt0294]

For a V6, Great mpg! Nice sound too! Great review Kyle! :]

[bto95]

Hey @saabkyle04 can you do the Audi A1 please? I would appreciate it :D

[7477238]

Great little car but hard to find in such good shape like this one. 

[k9keo]

Hey I didn't see a place to open the trunk from the outside of the vehicle. Was the key hole hidden?

[britishcarfan]

@k9keo I don't think there was one on mine. Just the remote and interior lever

[britishcarfan]

I used to have one of these (sort of) It was a 2.3 with the 5 speed. It's still driving, actually, 230k miles on the clock. Lots of problems now, though...

[civicex33]

I like Acura CL series a upscale Honda Accord in late 90's its too bad it didn't come in a 4 door sedan.

[7477238]

@civicex33 I was thinking the same thing but I guess that's what they reserved the TL for.

[liuping999]

That's my baby! I drive one of these :')

They're so freaking hard to park..

[awesomerandomninja]

I don't like the gauge font, but that's just me...

[awesomerandomninja]

I like seeing the exhaust in the colder weather.

[FH99]

Nice car but I'm not crazy about that exterior color.

[MisterWordman]

Whoa holy shit is that thing pink?

[MisterWordman]

That styling aged really well.

[eldo59]

Wow! Thats sharp! Love Acura coupes.

[carzak]

How about an Integra? Preferably a GSR or Type-R. I don't believe you've done one of those.

[missesmia2]

The numbers on the cluster are really wierd and old japanese lady styled

[notofthisworld08]

Can you review a 1988 Toyota Cressida if you find one? My fam used to have one long ago. One heck of a car before Lexus.

[blacuraRL]

2:23 SLOW, sleek styling? LOL!

[oscartblossom]

Saabkyle can you tour the 2005 mini cooper s cabrio? and as always keep up the good work I love your vids!

[blacuraRL]

GREAT! Finally a car I can afford!

[utwoandutwo]

Kyle, why u no make video of 2011 Infiniti QX 56 with center counsel in the second row?!?!?!? I like video though:)

[markkjay]

Just a correction, a 5-speed was NOT an option for 3.0 models. It was only available on the 4-cylinder 2.2 and 2.3CLs.

[TSXguy]

we used to one the exact one w/o the leather. the rear isn't as pointy as I thought it was. good video as always, sir.

[khunt2011]

I like the old car market better, cars were more unique then. The market now is to bland and you see alot of imitating going on now-a-days !

[letsbefreaks98]

Can you video the Mitsubishi Outlander in the background at 3:15?

[w140king]

funny how the rear end of the this Acura CL looks almost the same as mercedes new CL

[saabkyle04]

@w140king Haha I thought the same thing

[Corkoth55]

@w140king i commented the exact same thing on the actual vid of the mercedes ;)

[stopscrewingaround11]

@w140king I always thought it did lol 

[bigvuch]

I love owning this car. It's comfortable, has a smooth ride, and is relatively quick.

[crashlove768]

no acuras in colombia :(

no lexus, no cadillac, no saab, no scion, no maybach, no manycool car brands...

damn it

[appamouse]

I used to think the CL looked cheap, poorly manufactured and unreliable. But with a V6 and that in-depth look, Ive changed my mind! Good little car. Thanks Kyle!

[saabkyle04]

@appamouse Anytime man glad to hear it!

[hondaftw1234]

@appamouse it was never unreliable lol.

[appamouse]

@hondaftw1234 Haha well I didn't know! go based on looks haha. Never owned a Honda or an Acura so I couldn't say!

[LordV8boy]

I always think it's a pity us in the UK didn't get Acura's :(

[dave11686]

Neat car! Great video as always Kyle!

[NattDogg01]

I like this. Really cool looking and it also looks like it would be very comfortable for a long road trip, for some reason...

[Jakeman21642]

I love the fancy font on the old acura gauges.

[datboiwes333]

wow excellent condition

[RLmodel]

Wish the CL had a rear wheel option layout.

[freddiemercury777778]

What an ugly car.

[extremepsychogamer]

the japanese always ruin their cars by making them front wheel drive.

[SceneKid808]

You always find cars with good miles..

[123chunhou]

3:53 water??

[TheDoncreation]

Acura's are really great cars! I love the TL and the TLX! Really great cars. Very reliable

[JULESRULES9969]

Acura = Hondas luxury brand

similar too

toyota = lexus

Nissan = infinity

Ford = lincoln

[Jakeman21642]

@JULESRULES9969 And don't forget Chevy=Cadillac

[MrThestig8]

@Jakeman21642 Actually, Cadillac was originally a more upscale version of Oldsmobile, now they run on their own special platforms, even though, the new XTS is riding on the new LaCrosse/Malibu platform.

[JULESRULES9969]

@Jakeman21642 ya there are a bunch i didnt mention i think dodge = crysler too not to sure though.

[Jakeman21642]

@JULESRULES9969 And Volkswagen=Audi. Lol I could do this all day!

[YuriKwonBlkPearl]

New banner??

[saabkyle04]

@YuriKwonBlkPearl Nah, just got rid of the old one accidentally trying to figure out the new YT layout. I am though in the process of retiring the old banner

[123chunhou]

Heard of these Acura sedans TL RL and TSX

[gamerfever94]

what car do you own?

[123chunhou]

Hi Kyle my 11 year old wants u. To do one on a 2011 Honda odyssey pls!!!!!! His dream minivan

[henry142967]

[eric5577]

@techdude6693 Damn my cp said 0 views 0 comments!

[Owlcity138]

Kyle please do a video on the gs behind you

[KLINGY94]

Kyle, could you do a 2011 Acura TL SH-AWD??? please :) btw, love the vid man, as usual :D

[rotaryjesus]

Kyle, if you get the chance to drive a first gen RL. The steering is so smooth! I don't know what they did those years but it dosnt feel like a Honda at all.

[10camss]

Props to the owner for keeping this car up so nicely. This car is IMMACULATE!

[FilzFilmMaker]

Damn thing reminds me of a honda

[dj921005]

@FilzFilmMaker thats because honda makes acura

[ayrton918]

looks like a honda. i think because honda owns acura.

[tbskirk]

Looks like the interior is pulled straight from the Honda accord but the exterior says female driver all over it this car is not really for the guys in this crowd.

[stalkingyomom08]

PLEASE! make an Acura TSX review!!

[fanowner12]

@integraz32lover Yes, and don't forget your Honda! If it wasn't for Honda Acura wouldn't even exist (:

[fanowner12]

I don't see a tape button on the radio for the tape deck. Does it automatically work when a cassette is inserted?

[MrMK94]

Thanks for doing this car!!!

[rotaryjesus]

Wow excellent condition!

[JPK567]

I want this for my first car

[PZYLA]

Can you please do a Porsche Carrera GT =D

[StuntDoubleTheatre]

id love to own this car. its got reliable written all over it. the interior is immaculant for its age, and backseats look comfy. i can see myself on a long roadtrip in that car. it looks like its got enough power.

[saabkyle04]

@StuntDoubleTheatre Yeah man you got that right, I was so impressed by it, had a great blend of nice technology also!

[StuntDoubleTheatre]

@saabkyle04 the bose sound system... mmmmm lol

[thejokeroldschool]

@saabkyle04 Hey Kyle. could you a review on a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 1993-1998, but the v8 ones, the 5.2 or the 5.9. :D would love that!

[NYBOY75]

Very nice Kyle!!!

[Oxyquatzal7]

I dont have a cat but I have a dog and i do love a good chocolate chip muffin.

[d0ugz24]

If you could do a Mark 3 Jetta, I would love you long time!
