Dependable but boring

I wish the Acura RL could use "real looking wood" like my 05 Acura TL did... it's so plastic looking. It is a great car though. Seems not as sporty as a car like a 5 series, but reliability is its strong suit. 80,000 miles on it and plan on keeping for long term... only issue is it is boring (true disclosure most cars after a while bore me:).
So close, but still great

A great overall car. Trunk is a bit small and I wish the rear seat folded down since space is already limited, but it is what it is. I can't understand why the radio can't display the CD (especially a DVD-A) info with song names, etc. And the FM RDS which is pretty standard nowadays is also missing....hmmmm? Oh, and why the heck did Acura change the lug and hub pattern of this car so that I can't get any aftermarket rims until the wheel manufacturers catch up to the new layout.... But, overall, I love the car. I guess nothing is perfect.

I picked up the car and at once felt comfortable and secure. On the highway home was at 80 MPH and didn't feel a thing. Handles like a dream and on curves the SHAWD is GREAT. Learning the voice commands takes a little time but worht it . Best car in the market segment for the money.
Better on paper

Feels like a frontwheel drive vehicle; out of touch-cannot tell when the vehicle is at the limits. The weight distribution is biased toward the front, exacerbating the front wheel drive feeling. If you have only driven front wheel drive vehicles, you will love this car. If you have driven A BMW, or Infiniti GS you will be disappointed. (Wife's vehicle, she loves it. Drove a Camry before the RL).
greatest car I have ever owned

I have back problemand this car is the most comfortable I have ever driven, I feel safe with the heaviness of the vehicle and it is fun to drive. It perform much better than my last car which was an IS 300 lexus which had a lot of power and no heft so that it was all over the road in any kind of bad weather...The RL perfoms great in snow and wet roads...I will always enjoy this car and the bells and whistles are fun and the navagation system is something that I would never live without again...the car drives like a dream.
