- I'm the caretaker of this '03 Satin Silver CL-S 6-speed for a little bit until my friend Eric retrieves it. In the meantime, I thought I'd share it with you all since it's a pretty special and rare car (especially now at 20 years old). Thanks for tuning in!
Love my CLS6. Rarer and rarer every year. Everyone in my life begs me not to sell it. My parents bought manuals after driving mine, they took a break from stick when they had kids. My brother loved it so much he bought a manual prelude. my CLS6 personally changed a lot of lives in only two years
That's awesome. They are great cars for a lot of reasons!
Congrats Eric! Welcome to the community of CLS6 owners. Small but mighty 💪 group.
I knew you'd approve of this vid!
One of my favorites
Mine too
we need more CLS6 content on TH-cam I can’t be the only one!! 🖤
Glad you enjoyed!
You're not the only one 😉
I had one. 2001 automatic. After 200,000 miles needing new paint and seats needing to be re upholstered I sold to the son of a friend. It was junked within a month. I should've kept and the restored. Transmission issue was taken care of before I owned it and car sounded like this one and switched gears seamlessly and powerfully. I'm definitely buying another, probably a 6 speed. First I'll get rid of 2 cars. Still the best car I ever owned.
Hopefully you can get a six-speed CL one day!
@@TysonHugie you can almost count on it!
What a beautifull, elegant and rare car this is! What a great engine and what a nice design. I would love to own an Acura CL in this nice condition.
Agreed!
So excited to get it and drive it 1900 miles home. CeLia (1 of 43) will be missed but CeciLia in silver looks like a great replacement! Definitely the most underappreciated Acura out there. . .
Agreed! You're gonna love this one.
Rarest Acura. I have this exact model only with navigation and about 63k miles. It sits in my garage along with my 05 RSX type S (same color) 😂
Wow! Great cars, both of them
The 6MT Legend, CL and TL.
Timeless and bulletproof.
Acura's NOT the same anymore.
This was a good era for sure
Misunderstood and undervalued car. Folks thought I was nuts flying 1,200 miles to pick one up back in '19. The non-navigation is where its at as the navigation unit is considered a dinosaur by current day standards. Nice looking Satin Silver CLS 6MT!
There were 2 for sale near me at one point. Satin silver one without nav, 140 something thousand miles, had many little dings, and one of the headlights was broken but it was cheap ($3200)
Other one was a white one with nav but had a rebuilt title and the guy was selling it for $6500, trying to chock it up as being a super rare and valuable car with the 6 speed and nav lol
These folks didn't realize what a great car it is. I drove one as a daily. 100,000 miles in 5 years. It was so incredible. It's gone now 5-6 years. I will buy another one. Nothing compares and I've owned about 30 cars.
Agreed, he got a great one here.
I owned and drove a 2003 Acura CL Type-S 6-speed for about 9 years, from 2010-2019. It was Aegean Blue Pearl. It was a beautiful car and I put a lot of money into maintenance and upgrades (shift knob, stereo system, performance tires, etc...). The best part about the CL Type-S was that compared to more modern cars (after 2010), it is just so mechanical and direct. The direct cable-actuated short throw shifter, the high-revving V6 engine, the hydraulic steering. It just makes you feel like you're actually driving a machine and not being driving by a computer. It's the closest thing you'll find to driving an early 2000's era NSX.
Regrettably, I had to sell mine in 2019 as I didn't have a garage space to store it. It had around 150,000 miles at the time of sale. No rust. Might have needed a clutch, I'm not sure.
Finally, this year, I missed it so much I went and bought an Apex Blue Pearl MDX A-Spec. It's not quite the same, but remarkably the gauges and instruments harken back to this era car in the A-Spec. That and the rev-happy VTEC V6 bring me right back to the joys of my old CL Type-S!
That is awesome. I still haven't personally owned a 2nd gen CL-S manual but maybe someday. Hope you're enjoying the MDX!
Ha! That's awesome!! Well now you've helped 2 people Get a CLS -6 . Word has it, Mine is ready to sell whenever 😉
Haha you're right, I didn't think of that! Oohhh the white is purdy.
Wya? How much?
@@jayy.cls6 I'm in British Columbia.
The fact that this car gets rarer and rare and I own 3 with under 90k on the clock is amazing I wouldn't trade not one of them for nothing. Cars were handed to me after family members got older and couldn't drive them no more.
Lucky
The satin silver metallic and black interior is the best combo for the CL. Awesome!
It’s an attractive look for sure
Back when I bought my old 2003 Accord, I had test driven a 2002 CL Type-S, and nearly bought it. I still wish I had pulled the trigger on that deal. Ah well, glad to see this one still alive and well - the previous owner did a great job taking care of it!
Exactly! And it's going to a great home
Cool car! I had no idea how rare these are. Congrats to Eric!
Haha another Eric with great taste in cars
Thanks! I'm getting it this month!
black on black non-navi cls6 here!!! great cars, i daily mine, wasn't gonna but it's just a great driver's car. Great video as always, thx 👍
Nice ride!! Thanks Keith
car is a unicorn in the lineup...will skyrocket soon. i grew up in the acurazine community and my buddy put this tranny with a odyssey 3.5 bottom and tl type s heads
That’s an awesome build!
Wow! What a special find for sure. Very clean I've never owned one of these honestly because I've never seen a manual transmission one for sale. I'm sure Eric will enjoy this one! Thanks for sharing this. I think manual transmission cars in general will be more collectable. They just aren't offered much anymore which is a shame.
You are exactly right! This one is going to a great home
i have the same exact same one, very similar condition as well. lovely daily
Nice!
Such a beautiful machine! Sadly I don’t know how to drive stick and currently have the auto version of this exactly spec and year. However I am in the process of trying to convince coworkers to show me how to drive stick so I can finally purchase one of these CLS6 ❤
Awesome! Hopefully you can get one!
I had gotten a 2001 San Marino Red CL in 2000 but after they released the manual in the 2003 model year I had to get one. Traded it in and never looked back. The manual transmission transformed the car. Got an Agean Blue Pearl with navi (1 of 68 apparently) in November 2002 and it's only got 86,000 miles currently.
That's the perfect spec!
I've owned one and are close to buying another one (in-process as I type this). My favorite car in the world.
Congrats!!
I had this exaxt car that I bought new in November of 2002. It was one of my favorite vehicles I ever owned!
That's awesome, where did it end up?
@@TysonHugie I sold it in 2010 for 2010 Mazdaspeed3 which I also loved but not as much as the CL-S. I don't know where it's at anymore.
6-speed manual, my man. Welcome to the real men's club.
I will let him know!
Congrats Eric! I've got your car's cousin 2003 Accord 6-6 in Satin Silver. This car looks beautiful! Enjoy it.
Tyson - Production numbers? I'm jealous because I've not found numbers for mine.
Yes! Those numbers were somehow acquired and are publicly available on the Acurazine forums. Would be cool to track down similar data on yours.
@@TysonHugie I'll ask specifically for how many 6-6 Accords were produced when I give them my 975k update in a few weeks. Hopefully they'll tell me.
What a beauty. Simple and clean design
Agreed!
Mad jealous!
Me too!
Been waiting on this one, thanks Tyson!
You know it!
This is one of my cars ever. I almost bought an auto CL type S was my first car but the deal fell through. Shame! It was Aegean Blue Pearl!! Love that color. But my personal favorite is the Sundance Gold color which is even rare! Would do ANYthing for one
Sundance is amazing!
There is one currently for sale in VA on carsforsale
I also know a buddy in AZ who has one if you’re still interested in the Sundance gold
The classic, simple exterior design is nice.
Agreed. "Understated" comes to mind.
Beautiful car. Nice to see these cars being looked after. The Acura's of that era all had nice seats with good quality leather.
Definitely true!
Love to have one in my driveway.
They are sweet cars
Cannot wait to get another manual j series again in the future. I miss my 04 6 speed accord!
Such great gearboxes!
One of my favourite cars I owed and sorry I totalled.
They are great cars!
One for sale in Massachusetts. $14,900 with 87, XXX miles
Very nice!
She's a beauty!
Yes for sure!
Beautiful 👍🏽
It sure is! Thanks Torrey
This was the first foreign American vehicle to be produced in Ohio the Acura CL Type S!!!🎉
Awesome!
I love this one!
Great car for sure
Love these
They are definitely underappreciated cars!
I had a 2003 CL automatic, trans was starting to slip, at like 80k miles, I would love to found a manual in stead back then... Got rid of it cause of that
Agreed the autos had issues
Correct brother.
I have a 2003 gray CL, but it's an automatic. I still love it though.
They are great cars!
SUPER NICE SUPER CLEAN I GOT THE SAME ONE AND RED NON-NAVIGATION WHAT 150 ON THE DASH GO ALONG WITH A 2010 SIX SPEED TL S H A W D, 2011 TL
SH AWD.. I JUST LOVE THE WAY ACURAS HANDLE DRIVE AND THE MAINTENANCE
Right on! Agreed!
@@TysonHugie need to trim down stable of cars but the C. L. Is too rare to get rid of so I will probably get rid of my Auto T. L. Since those were mass produced
@@TysonHugie now videos are popping up on my channel and making me keep this Monster.
@@TysonHugie youtube.com/@abogey7343
This guy has nice Acura also
I want one so bad. 3 years ago saw one for 7k 60k miles should’ve got it
They are great cars!
I just bought a 2003 Acura CL s type six speed. I was wondering how much do they go for?
I think this one was $7k on eBay
Note: my legend coupe did get the pass-through in Canada.
I figured, in fact I originally said something about Canadian-market Legends getting that but later removed the comment because I wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying!
I'm about to check one out tomorrow, might make a deal wish me luck!
Good luck!
Don’t make them like this anymore. Definitely a “unicorn” car
Agreed!
Nice
Thanks!
Don't these have Transmission issues?? Still a great car
The automatics yes. Sticks were fine
can I get an 8 month update?
I’m gonna have to ask Eric to do that! The car lives with him in Kentucky
💣💣💣💣💣💣👍👍👍
Thank you
Эта просто пушка
Thanks for watching
Wish someone had the supercharger version
That would be sweet
th-cam.com/video/d6UvviDN9_g/w-d-xo.html Power steering whining is caused by aftermarket high pressure hose. I used to have same color combo 03 CLS 6sp.
I noticed that too
Gotta love the very blatant Accord coupe rebadge...
I don't think they share any body panels. But I prefer this one obvi.
Really the 2-door version of the TL.
Grey 03 Cl type s 6spd manual, 325kmiles and still going strong.
Wow, awesome!
I had the A-Spec, Got written off. :(
Oh noo, I'm sorry to hear that
