Hello. I'm currently 2 years into a 4 year lease on a 2001 1.7 EL. I may be moving to the US shortly and wanted to check to see whether anyone in the group...
I took my car into Acura Sherway today complaining of front-end noise and poor handling over bumps, etc. I think that the service manager was ordering new...
Hi, I've got an 02 EL and I'm on my third set of struts. I had the original set swapped out with only 12,000 km on the car. The second set was replaced at...
So... With 26,500km on my 02 EL, should I be going to the dealer and asking about the front struts? So far, I haven't had any problems with them, but it seems...
Yes! Have them check it out. And, a correction to my earlier e-mail... I indicated that I have a '92 EL. That should read an '02 EL! My bad. ... Peter...
I am FINALLY going to get my struts replaced. Erin Mills Acura called today and booked me in for this Thursday. I ONLY had to wait 5 weeks! Wish me luck. Ken ...
I didn't realize it that much, but the price of servicing your vehicle from one dealer to another can be quite varied! I''m used to seeing the usual Type A oil...
http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/comparison/articles/100022/article.html Guess what... the Honda Civic (of which our Acura EL is based on) comes out first....
yeah, a regular oil/filter change is a commodity, so it doesn't really vary between dealers, but definitely shop around for other service. NTA had the highest...

Now that I finally got my front struts replaced (Honda paid), I am thinking of getting a front strut bar. I found this place on the web that sells Ractive...
$43 is a decent price but you can get one for even cheaper on ebay. I'm not a fan of Eurolites but I do recommend MTECs they're about $40 a pair. I like MTECs...
As for the bulbs, I'm used to buying the PIAA Xtreme H4 bulbs.... best light output for a 55W H4 bulb... Expensive, at $140/pair. Then, I went to a shop...
The AutoBas website is http://www.autobas.ca, though right now it doesn't seem to be working??? Here's a recent thread over @ another forum re: AutoBas.. ...
Hello, I've had my EL since Dec 2001, and was wondering what kind of fuel economy I should expect? Driving almost exclusively around the suburban GTA (Greater...
I would say that is fairly good fuel economy. Compared to the numbers posted by other forum members your numbers are good. From what I recollect, some of the...
I have just under 50,000km. I get between 7.x L/100km these days; where x can be 0 on a good day or 9 on a bad day. I'm rather surprised since I shift to D3 a...
I get pretty decent fuel economy. My '01 EL with 74 k km uses around 7.0 - 7.5 L per 100 km. I drive on the 401 from Scarborough to Mississauga to work each...
These cars are not that economical. The Civic is better on gas. The '01 EL isn't a very good car - soon I'll be trading it for a '03 Civic LX coupe....
The Civic LX is only marginally better than the EL in terms of fuel economy. You'd be hard pressed to find any significant improvements. The accumulated...
If the reason to trade in the EL is simply because of fuel economy, I have to say that's a bad reason to, particularly if you're just going to a Civic. It's...
Again, if the only reason to go from EL to Civic Coupe is because of gas, then the reasons klam and James stated are very valid and I would urge you to think...
The Acura 1.7EL engine is the same as the U.S. Civic EX engine, i.e. the 1.7L 127hp SOHC VTEC. The rest of the Civic line uses a 1.7L 115hp SOHC (no VTEC)....
You really owe it to yourself to read the Edmunds article. The Saturn Ion review is hilarious. Some excerpts: "Its ratings in the interior design and materials...
Has anyone noticed that the key gets pretty hot when it is taken out of the ignition on the 1.7 EL? I'm curious about the source of the heat. Did it...
My EL key is exactly the same....heats up when I drive the car for a period of time... My friend is having a RSX and he told me he his key is having the same...
