I love nearly everything about this car. It's fun to drive and very comfortable on long drives. After a minor, but scary accident with my 99 RL (I spun out on a wet curve), I feel much safer with the SH-AWD. Even on dry curves, I can feel the difference in handling as the outside rear wheel kicks in extra power. The stereo and XM radio are awesome. In fact, the XM is so great I'm not sure I'll ever listen to CDs again in the car. The seat support is great - you're really held tight as you fly around curves (though some stockier people might find them too confining). Even though I fell in love with the styling the first time I saw it in person, it's not that exciting - I still love it!
Awesome Acura RL

Have had TL for three years. Very happy with it. Stopped by dealer on lark to see new RL, was blown away. Now own one. Most impressive technological device ever exposed to. Will take a while to learn all the things it does and will tell me. Outstanding design, performance, convienence, styling. Bose 5.1 Dolby sound is unbelievable. Car is extremely safe and drives like race car or limosine, your choice. So much more car for the money than it's piers that you almost don't mind paying sticker which is what they hold you to. Love the car and look forward to a road trip. Can't rave enough, you must check out this car before doing any other shopping.
Happy Owner

I had a choice of this or Mercedes E500 I chose this because the Acura RL offers so much more to offer and has a different look. I'm tired of the same cars on the roads. I got more for my money and from what I hear the Mercedes are in the shop a lot and at a big cost.
WOW!!!!

First of all, this is the third Acura I have purchased in three years. I love the overall value for your dollar that Acura offers in their vehicles, so this may sound more than a bit biased. My first Acura, now my Wife's, is a 2002 TL S-type. My second Acura, which I traded in for the 2005 RL, was a 2004 RL. So my review starts with the observation that the 2005 RL is the combination of everything that is great about my other Acura vehicles. They have combined the sportiness and responsiveness of the TL S-type with the comfort and stability of the old RL, and then applied a liberal dose of steroids. It is hands down the best, most fun to drive, technology packed, car I have ever driven
Great car for work

Great Car! I've had this for over 6 weeks now with close to 3000 miles. Not a single issue so far. Reminds me of my 92 Legend that had no problem outside of the routine maintanence. I love my drive to work now that I have live traffic updates to avoid the jams and SH-AWD for some fun on the twisty roads.
