Acura Customer Support Is A Myth

The automobile, itself, is average in ride and comfort. Fit and finish are good but noise level, for this niche, and its gas mileage are poor. It can be jittery in ride and will sidestep at certain speeds and improved road conditions that it should handle well. It's distinctive attraction lies in its integrated cabin systems. The navigation system and XM radio work well but OnStar was delivered inoperative and continues to be partially so over a month later. GM and now Acura tell me that there is nothing to be done. There will be no operating telephone in this car. It's absurd.

My 2004 RL

Great value compared to Mercedes, BMW, or Lexus. Looks similar to big Benz. Lots of luxury. Definitely not a sports-sedan. Luxo-cruiser at best. Ride can be jittery over challenging pavement as mentioned by another reviewer. Won't disappoint as luxury cruiser. Not the head-turner that 5 serious or GS is. Want a combo of fun, luxury, superior customer service? Go with Lexus!

Not worth the money

Actually my lease is a 2002. This car simply is not worth the dollars for the lease. The ride is just OK, the handling is poor compared to the Toyota Avalon which was my previous auto. The performance again, not as good. The interior back seat is too small for the average size man. No leg room. The reliability I have no complaints about.

A SATISFIED CUSTOMER

Hi everyone - I leased my latest Acura on Feb. 29, 2004. After searching and driving many cars, and considering the fantastic deal Acura was offering, I made the decision to go with the 2004 RL. I drove the Lexus ES300, the BMW 5 series, and looked at Audi. The RL has a wonderful feel, the instruments are well placed, and with the optional chrome wheels, it's quite a handsome vehicle. I do wish it was abit more thrifty with the gas, but it's getting a solid 18-22 and still has less than 2000 miles. Hopefully, it will get better.

Not A Bad Car For the Price

Pretty Good Gas Mileage, Great for off the Line, Ok passing, when punching there is a large blank spot of no speed 3/4 of the pedal pushed. Tough Leather, I think it will last forever!! Love the STANDARD heated seats and Navigation!!!
