2005 Acura RL consumer reviews

Very enjoyable driving this car. Never get bored of it. Very fast and reliable after at about 150000 miles. Almost no oil consumption. Still no alarm on dashboard.My first one was totaled and bought the same car used with different color. I am in love with my Acura RL .

Best riding sporty luxury car I have ever drove. Very reliable. Drove 150k miles with NO mechanical issues other than oil changes n tires... Many years with no expenses! Fun car to drive! Great for long road trips.

This car has been amazing in every way, has been low cost to upkeep and never had any mechanical issues whatsoever the Acura name rings true with my experience it’s a luxury car and it’s the best bang for your buck. Very spacious very fast when you need it to be an overall great car that I would purchase all over again.

My first ever Acura. I love all the characteristics this vehicle offer especially on curvy roads playing with the paddle shifter. One have to drive it to experience the rush with the potent V6 putting out 300 HP. One can only imagine what the 2019 RL has to offer. Buy one!!

I bought an 05 RL used in 09 with 65K miles. I traded it in in 2016 with 271K miles on it. Other than normal wear and maintenance, I never had any issues. The only issue I had was the keyless door on both front doors went out. A $500 (each door) replacement as it shorted out a lot of other systems. That aside, no issues. Awesome gas mileage on the highway for an AWD car and brake wear was outstanding. It was starting to rust a bit by the windshield and just time to move on. Pretty sure it's still on the road according to my Acura dealer (went to a 2016 MDX).

We purchased the Acura RL used in 2008 with 40k miles on it. My wife drove it daily and ran it up to 116k miles with only a few minor issues. We gave it to our son and daughter in-law in 2013 and she drove it daily to 199k miles with no issues. They just gave it back to us in 2019 and we plan to use it for a spare vehicle/daily driver to keep miles off of our newer vehicles. It is still running strong and looks almost like new. I will replace the timing belt again as recommended every 100k miles and see how far we can go with it.

This car is very dependable. It has great style and is very comfortable. Although a six cylinder it gets great gas mileage. In sport mode can go quite fast as well as in winter months brings you continuous safe and effective experience .

Beautiful Acura RL SH/AWD (Super Handling/All Wheel Drive). I have never driven a full size luxury sedan, that can out-handle, out-perform this car, all the while giving you a smooth and luxurious ride. It's 300 HP 3.5 Liter V6 with VTEC (Variable Valve Timing w/ Electric Lift Control) gives the driver smooth and powerful acceleration. The SH/AWD in the RL was born, bred. and adopted from Acura's Exotic High Performance Sports Car, the NSX. It's the best of both worlds!!

This car cost me practically nothing due to the fact that I bought it from my step father and mother so you could say I got a good deal. This is my second and have had no major fixes needed.

Great family car, comfortable for long trips with five passengers, has comparable features to other high end luxury cars. Excellent audio system. Following strictly the recommended maintenance schedule would be an advantage.
