Review
I have owned many different luxury cars Lexus, Jag, etc., because I like to try out the different varieties and to say I have driven them, but my Acura has beat them all hands down. I went to buy a Mercedes and was disappointed in the test drive. For the heck of it I tried the Acura RL and bought it. I usually buy a new car every two years but I hated to let this one go. I am planning to buy another one though this year. The car I would buy beyond the Acura is a Bentley Cont. GTS.

Looks good, drives great, easy on your wallet. What more do you want from a large sedan? As with all Acura models, the features and controls are easy to find and operate. The leather seating is very comfortable and resilient. The Navigation system, although archaic compared to later model Acuras, is simple to operate and precise. Although the fuel economy isn't great, it's very comparable to other sedans in it's class. And besides, for what it lacks in saving you at the pump, it more than makes up for by saving on mechanical breakdowns/repairs. If you're looking for a sharp, comfortable and reliable luxury sedan, the Acura RL should be on your list to look at.

Excellent car - best car for long trips - quiet and easy to drive. Performance is adequate as is the mileage. Zero repairs other than normal oil changes etc. I do my own work and regular maintenance is easy. Deal visit (1-brake flush) was good - price and service. Special note - Acura paint is great; it just doesn't get rock chips like other cars I own.

It's a car with safety in mind. no CD
changer in dash to play with while
driving! no extra horsepower to
encourage you to "drive for fun"! And
you can park it on street in
NYC,JC,Newark since Acura is not a so-
called 'prestige' brandname mostly
target by car-thefts :-(
And it's priced (both MSRP and dealer
discount)much lower than LS430.
And I love its slim figure and classic
looks, comparing with the most other
models that are "big-ass" impression.

Excellant built and solid vehicle.
Very reliable car with minimal
maintenance. Worth every penny if you
buy a used vehicle

This car is a true comfort to drive in
at any speed. You can very easily
accelerate onto the freeway and feel
like you are floating at 65 MPH over
the road. Very reliable and no major
problems after 36,000 miles other than
a fog-light going out.

There is no doubt that the RL is far
superior to the E class Mercedes. It
has much more power and has a smoother
ride than the E Class.

Great drive if comfort is your primary
concern. Very reliable and handles
like a charm. As a medium size luxury
car it is a great value and is probably
one of the more underappreciated cars
in this class. People get in my car
and sometimes mistake it for a
Mercedes. Must be the black on black.

Review
To make this short this is one sweet
auto. The refined ride, controls
access, view of the road, adaptable
seat position, and fit and finish are
better than cars costing much more. I
bought this one used but it feels,
smells, and acts like new. The
navigations system is pretty good but
all computer programs have there
inherent weaknesses unless you design
it yourself for your own likes. My
home street address is not in the
database yet I still got good computer
tracking one street away
