Perfect!
My wife and I have had our 02 RL for almost a year. It's so fun to drive because it clearly turns heads (ours is black). Some reviews talk about its "boring, conservative styling", but we love everything about this car's styling! It's a true joy to drive - my guess is that we will now always be Acura drivers.
Love My RL
I tasted various Flagship Models but Acura RL offers the best value for my money.
Sold on RL's
This is my second RL after 25 years of BMWs (still own one, convertible). After seven years of the RL model I have replaced one (that's 1) brake light. Nothing else except regular maintenance. I still like the body style, but will test drive a 2005 later this week. The difference in dollars with the BMW is simply not worth it., in fact, I would take the RL over the 5 series at the same price.
Why I continue to drive RLs
In 1999, I leased the 99 RL. After three years, I was so happy with the vehicle, I repeated the experience and leased an '02. If you are looking for a classy luxury sedan, that is often mistaken for a Mercedes, that gives a 225hp burst off the line, this is your car. After 6 years (3 in the '99 and another 3 in the '02) I have had ZERO problems with the RL class. Now, to show you how committed this RL guy is, this evening (8/22/05) I leased a third RL, the redesigned '05 and parted with the '02. I compared the Avalon, M and G Infinitis, Mercedes, and Lexus. Hell, I even tried to get into the new Passat. In the end, the RL won on price, value, and the bonus of AWD (try that BMW!)
My VERY FIRST 3.5 RL ACURA
Great looking car for a luxurious car. This car was a very reasonable price. Very comfortable to drive and enjoy. My in-law decided to purchase two more of the same vehicles at the unbelievable price.
