The RL epitomizes automotive excellence! Silky, solid and smooth best describes it. The handling is incredible as demonstrated by its agility and immediate responsiveness. The ergonomics are text book perfect as evidenced by the size and placement of the Nav system screen and center stack controls. Quality materials abound, nice touches such as electric rear and manual side window shades impress. Voice activated controls actually work and seem magical. It's performance/power is strong! It is without question, IMO, the - "best in class". I have no regrets or buyers remorse. It exudes luxury and elegance - it just feels so good! Highly recommended!

A Fine Automobile All Around

I've been driving my '05 RL just over a month now, and am totally pleased with everything about it. My family feels safe and secure in it, and it's been the car to drive here in So. Cal. during our wet, rainy winter. It is by far the best car I've ever driven at night, because of the excellent headlights and overall handling. It's very quick, so I really have to watch my speed to keep it legal. The interior is quiet,luxurious, and supremely comfortable, and the Bose audio is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a long-term relationship with a world class machine. If you're an enthusiast, this is your car. I can't wait to drive it again today.

We purchased the vehicle and then proceeded to drive it over 4000 miles on an extended holiday. The car handled beautifully, the sound system is extraordinary and the ability to receive and respond to calls without having to handle our cell phone is, indeed a wonderful safety measure. Surprising but much to our satisfaction was the fact that we realized over 26 miles to the gallon of gas while on the highway.
