Used 2004 Acura RL Consumer Reviews
Great Car
I would buy the Acura 3.5RL again without blinking an eye. I have driven 145,000 without having a problem and it's still running perfectly. I do a lot of freeway driving and it is such a dependable, safe, and comfortable car. It still doesn't have the "status" of a Mercedes or BMW within its price range but I would put it up against either of these cars anytime.
RL
I have a RL. It is very good and very nice vehicle and I like it very much.
More Car for the Money
Absolutely qualifies as an entry in the luxury car segment, but is not as technically current as it's competitors (like the Lexus LS430), BUT it costs a lot less money. Since this should be the last model year for the existing design, rebates and incentives should be plentiful as well. It drives well, is extremely quiet, and has many cool creature comforts like XM sat, voice activated nav, on-star, etc. The engine is an old design and eats more gas than it should (similar MPG to the 8 cyl Lexus). Overall, it's a good trade-off for value vs state-of-the-art luxury.
2004 Acura RL
This is my 3rd RL and they just keep getting better! My only complaints are that the body style is somewhat sedate and a little boring. However, for the money I don't think one can buy a better luxury sedan at any price. Reliability and dealer service are outstanding.
acura happy
This is my 4th Acura. All are pleasant and reliable. Car has all features needed in a luxury car. Classy styling that tells the world you have something important, but you are not rubbing it in their faces. Sat radio not important to me, but On Star is valuable, as well as Nav system.
