2006 Acura RL consumer reviews

I bought to RL's on the same day. My car has a "hum" coming from the engine area at highway speeds when gas is applied. Acura's answer to this problem is that it is a "characterstic of the car." Had I known about this, I would not have bought the car. My other car DOES NOT hum. The service department drove FIVE (5) new cars, and three (3) of the five had this hum. Be careful. Although the car is comfortable, if you like a quiet car and do a lot of driving, this is not the car for you!

Great car ,but should have back-up sensors. Do not like the driver outside mirror pointing to the ground when car is in reverse.

This car is a sleeper. Cross shopped the RL with the M35, GS 300 and BMW 530. All cars are good but the RL has 95% of the features I was looking for at thousands of dollars less (which resulted in an excellent lease price) Ergonomics is the best in class as is the nav system. Overall comfort is excellent for short and long drives. The car rides smoothl with some road feedback (which is a good thing). The only negatives for me are rear seats are tighter then the competition and I would have preferred 18" wheels. Resale value is below average. Therefore I would more strongly recommend leasing the car then buying the car.
