This is my first Honda and wont be the last. Luxury with a sport feel. My 16 and 19 year olds beg to drive it for dates! The power is just right and you cant beat it on long drives of over 500 miles, as well as in town.

This vehicle is truely a pleasure to drive and comfortable to ride. The cruisew control is a must as you could easily be driving over 100 mph without noticing any difference in the ride.

A Great Car---A Great Bargin

I just purchased my 2000 RL certified pre-owned with 36000 miles on it. I already love the car. Performance is outstanding, handling and ride is incredible…I can’t think of a negative… and all for the price of a new economy car. Mileage is not as good as I had hoped, about 19-20 overall, and I imagine my driving style (fast) impacts those numbers. I have read several reviews criticizing the drivability of the RL…I can’t understand that…I think the car performs great, even considering my previous car was a VW GTI VR6. The RL handles like a much smaller/sportier car...that just happens to be in a luxury car package.

Really Good Car! No bad habits. Good freeway cruiser. Quiet. Not exactly snappy performance, but adequate. Great Quality!

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.

I am 75 years of age, and this is without question the best car I have ever driven. Plus, it has never taken back to the dealer for any maintenance problem.

Good Performance and Quality

Got this car from soon to be ex wife. I traded my 740iL for the RL. I like the RL better overall due to number of features. The BMW was more bullet proof but the RL is solid also and will last longer. Navigation system is great and it's fully loaded. V6 power is actually suprisingly good. Love the car.

An Adult Car

After driving/riding in any other vehicle(eg, BMW 740), I'm immediately surprised by the smoothness of the RL. The car handles very well on the highway @ 80-90 mph - precisely, quietly & smoothly - with four adults in the car & all their luggage in the trunk.

Best used car for price on market

The Acura RL is an outstanding used car. You'll usually find these it top shape as the owners take care of them and the car is really built well. I had no problems ever. And, most of the Acura dealers are really professional.I had to sell due to too many vehicles but it was a very hard decision to let it go.
