Solid ride

Newsflash....A CAR IS NOT AN INVESTMENT! This car is by far the best value for the money. Have driven S-type Jag, GS, A6 and Q45. Nice cars but I will be forever be a Acura owner because they include virtually all options(minus nav)in the price of the car. Very nice! I drive mostly in town so I have no need for a V8. Anyone with any common sense should see why this is a car worth looking at.

Unbelievable auto! Test drove A6, C320, 5 series, Jag and Lexus. Nothing is like the Acura. Great comfort and unmatched quality... Mercedes and Lexus should be quivering. Best deal on the road especially with the great lease rates. I would like to add a Tl type s to the stable but need to wait for more negotiation opportunities. Will see in '03.

It is a nice comfy ride,but it is surely missing some character like a little more horsepower would be nice,,it lacks a solid pickup but once you drive at 40 mph it kicks in pretty nicely...the ride quality is great so is the looks of it,,, hope Acura realy recharges the new models ,perhaps something like a TYPE-S version.....and a triptronic trans.

This is my fifth Honda product (just gave up a 99 TL, had a 97 CL, 93 Accord Coupe & a 1985 Accord hatchback). Couldn't make up my mind between the RL, TL Type-S or wait for months for an MDX. Looked at several others. Got mine (w/o navi) for $35,500. The smoothness & the handling is surprisingly better than expected. Price & value won out. But am disappointed in a few things (see below). I must bring this up now as it's the most amazingly stupid thing I've ever seen......just what the heck is this push the close button twice on the sunroof thing all about?!?!? Love the one touch open but not the hold, release & hold again to get it fully closed. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Best Acura Yet!

I've now owned 3 Acursa and this 2002 3.5 RL is easily the best of the group. I can not find any flaws or faults with this car. Easily the best value proposition in the luxury car market niche. Far and away better value tha Lexus LS or Infinity Q45 or BMW 5-series.
