The easily legible analog instrumentation however is efficient and attractive. A bold LCD digital indicator displays gear position when the transmission is in the manual mode. An eerily silent climate control system keeps the interior cool when needed (or heats with equal efficiency) while the air-filtration system traps dust and bacteria as small as one micron. The Bose audio system with in-dash 6-disc stacker and cassette is superb, and the added convenience of steering wheel controls helps the driver to keep both eyes on the road while making adjustments.
The CL comes with yet more standard features including Xenon/High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, an automatic day/night rear view mirror and reverse tilt side mirror, a security system with remote keyless entry, speed synchronized intermittent wipers, power glass moon roof and more. Acura can also equip the CL with an optional GPS navigation system with audio and visual clues to keep you headed in the right direction. Rounding out its functionality are ample storage compartments, including 13.6 cu ft of trunk space.
The Acura CL Type S represents excellent value. It loads on luxury features while packing a serious performance punch with style and grace that belies its reasonable price. While derivative to some, its conservative styling is a bonus for those who would rather not attract attention while indulging in one of the best entry-level sport/luxury coupes on the market.
