A very quiet car to drive and the Bose Stereo system is something to be heard. Incredible sound and with the quiet ride it makes the experience even more enjoyable. The navigation system, sat radio and other voice activated features are very easy to use and interface with. Cornering capability is tight and holds the road very well. At night the road is well eluminated by the adaptive headlight system.

RL outshines each car in this segment

I have had the RL for almost a month and the car is amazing, so many features and the ride is wonderful. The XM Radion/Nav, Bluetooth, Voice activated navigation, all are amazing, the ride comfort and quality are second to none. The car is smooth, strong, athletic and luxurious, the versatility is amazing especially with SH-AWD. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.

A great tech package!

It's the real deal! From the user friendly interior controls to the tech- gadgets, it is first class. The car is very responsive and handles extremely well. I have been pleasantly surprised by the large number of people who have complimented favorably on the appearance of the RL. I thought that the car was attractive, but I did not expect total strangers to tell me it looks fantastic. If you are looking for luxury, but want the feel and ride of a sports car, the RL will do the trick.

Highly competent daily driver

This car is not only a pleasure to drive, but it's a pleasure to be driven in. An exceptional body structure, sophisticated electronics, excellent handling characteristic, and more than sufficient power for every day driving experiences made this an excellent choice for me. My other car is a Boxster S, so I get to play with something that is much more fun, but for a satisfying commute to work, golf, or a long trip, I know of no car in this price range that I would find to be of greater value. I test drove the e-class Mercedes, Audi's A6 and the 5-series BMW and preferred Acura's RL to the Germans.

Great Car

After owning an A6-2.7T for the past three years, I can say that the RL has surpasses the A6 in virtually every category. I was prepared to buy a new A6, but after comparing the luxury features of both, I went with the RL and haven't regretted it for a minute. (honestly I also had a tough time with the big nose on the Audi).
