♫I'mtravelindowntheroad&I'mflirtinwithdisaster♫

I nicknamed my RL "Flirtin with Disaster" after the Molly Hatchet song because of how powerfully fast it is! The thing is EFFORTLESS. I've owned Benz SEL's (300, 420 and 500) and owned two Lexus LS400's and one Infiniti Q45 and loved them all, but, this RL35 Premium is U N I Q U E. motor is NOT transverse mounted, but still is FWD! FWD is a plus on a wet, snowy or slushy road. Now t he RWD luxury cars I've had get through bad tracks because of their sheer weight and torque, but the RL35 Premium is feather-like, and its only drawback is lower fuel economy because Acura/Honda concentrated on pure performance.

Very Relible Car low maintenance

No mechanical issue is very reliable. Clean interior and exterior a few cosmetic scars but worth every dollar if you are just interested in a reliable nice looking vehicle to get around

Acura is truly premium

The RL is one of Japan's finest engineered, and manufactured vehicles, EVER! I love the build quality, and reliability of SOHC 3.5 L. This car is extremely capable in inclimate weather, including snow and slush! The front wheel drive helps traction, since tge engine is directly over the drive axels. No regrets buying this model, 250k + mileage

Extremely powerful, yet smooth and comforable

I drove this car today and could not believe the performance. The car has sports car power with lots of luxery, like a Benz. I was so pleased I purchased this vehicle today. The vehicle is very roomy,with comfortable leather seats. I am truly pleased with this vehicle. Even after 140 plus thousand miles, it rides like a dream.

Its a good overall car

The braking is good the performance is excellent and the best of all the comfort. The mpg is also good since it has a 3.5 210 hp engine and it isn't that light either so 18 mpg is not to bad.This car is fast comfortable and reliable.A week or two after I got it somebody in a suburu kept messing around so I steped on the gas pedel and bye bye.Later he caught up and gave me a thumbs up.
