Honda with leather seats
A fair price for a 2002 RL is about $27K. Power is too low for weight, engine is noisy & sounds cheap. The Bose stereo has 4 speakers and no CD player (slot) in dash (trunck CD changed), and won't scramble songs! Door speakers intrude into the small door map pockets. There is almost nil storage room in the cabin. There is no compass, windows don't retract with the key switch for ventilation, there is little rear leg room, rear seats don't recline or fold down, trunk hinges are luggage crushers out of Accord, there is no trunk organizer, there is no alarm system, & orange-peel paint job. I sure feel like a fool because I got one.
Can't believe we get to drive an RL
It's the ride quality, folks! Doesn't the brochure say something about the seat springs being tuned to filter out vibrations. Our RL is so smooth it shames my '98 Accord (which has "vault-like quietness" according to Automobile magazine!). Also, less is more. The controls are few in number and easily accessible (non-Navi). Ridiculous to have a "Fun to Drive" rating in this class of car -- like minivan buyers looking at slalom figures! It's a true limousine -- no surprises, perfect manners and looks beautiful. I still am in awe that we get to drive it around.
