"Once u get this car, you will not be disappointed. technology, power, everything, it is perfect. I will buy another RL once this one goes if it ever does. No issued what so ever other than a bad battery the dealership gave me. When the battery goes, it sure makes the car do alot of weird things since the entire car and functionality of the car seems to run on electronics. If you can test drive this for a few days, you will see why every person who has submitted a review is talking about. They did a great job on this one..."

"Update: I bought this car a year ago and it just keeps getting better. I put top of the line Michelin sport tires on it and at 68k miles installed the A-SPEC suspension. The OEM suspension kit is still available online ($650) and turns the car into a true sports sedan. I am so pleased with this car that I am thinking about buying a second one to put into long term storage for when this one wears out; I can own two of these for less than the price of one new TL."

"2006 RL, bought used in 2007 with 20K, now has 71K. Has needed nothing but oil and filter changes. Good mileage. SH AWD is better in Vermont snow and mud than my Subaru because the torque vectoring rear axle is more stable. Very comfortable and stable in all conditions. Great seats! Best headlights I have ever used for brightness and visibility. Low beams turn for corners which works great. Awesome vehicle for trips! Navigation and voice commands work really well. This car is the only one (with the navigation) that has got me to Fenway Park without getting lost."

"I bought this as a replacement for my 2005 Jeep Liberty and couldn't be happier. It only had 59,000 mile and one owner. Performance and comfort are excellent. It takes a while to learn all the technology, but for me it is fun seeing what I didn't know it can do. AWD is good in the snow also. Mileage could be a little better, but that is what you get for a car that goes 0-60 in 6.6 seconds. Highly recommand this as a used car."

"Bought a 2005 RL with 45K miles($21.5k) after totaling my 2005 TSX, front end collision at 50 mph (walked away, 120k miles). The RL's ride is outstanding, the interior is top notch, and the power is more than adequate. I have a small air noise coming from the right rear window which I have not pinpointed yet but that is not a deal breaker. Got a 24 month B-to-B warranty for $1.5k just to cover my bases. I am impressed as are all my friends who have seen the vehicle, a $50k car for less than half that, definitely a great buy!"

"Luxurious, reliable, sporty, awd vehicle that handles any and all conditions! Great in the snow - just as good or better than my old Subaru. Ton's of technology. I've owned it for 2 year with no problems. Too bad the 2010 redesign was so bad, or I may have bought a new on, of course most people think mine is new anyway, because of the top notch paint Acura uses."

"I have had my Acura RL for about 2 months now and I have really enjoyed it. It is quiet. It has a smooth ride and feel to it. It handles well and has above average acceleration. When driving through the mountains or on a curvy road, the paddle shifters are great. I also enjoy the sport shift mode for when you need to down shift quickly for a quicker acceleration. The VTEC engine is awsome. The mpg city is a little suspect though. I get about 18 or 19 mpg city. But the mpg highway is great. I get about 27 or 28 mpg highway. The car is loaded with options. The only thing I wish it had that it does not is an auxiliary port. The newer models probably do have one, but not sure. My rearview camera just suddenly stopped working yesterday. Other than that, I do not have anything negative to say about the car. A used one that is a few years old is a lot of car for the money."

"I finally got my paws on a 2005 RL. This is my third acura and my other two (TL and MDX) are still running strong without any problems. Maintenance can be a little expensive but it is worth it in the long run."

"Wish I had Acura instead of Mercedes 560 SEL sooner. This car does whatever and whenever I want. Rain, light or heavy, even when visibility are low inspires confidence. Moderate crosswinds at enter state speed? No problema."
