A Class Automobile

This car is like the all-around winner in Olympic gymnastics: it isn't the best in any give category (BWM: slightly more nimble, perhaps; Lexus: More plush; MB: more brawny), but it's the all-around winner in that it does doesn't nothing wrong, and almost every as right as any other car in its class. The fact that it's less than comparably equipped cars speaks to its value. There can be no buyer's remorse with this car.

This one has it all- power, comfort, good mileage, and full of techie gadgets. Comes with michelin tires though the spare is Bridgestone (have to buy as much as possible from the home country!). Great warranty includes roadside assistance including airfare if needed. A better buy than the Lexus which is cost inflated by the name.

RL after a month of driving

The car has proved to be what I expected. Responsive, comfortable and quite. The sound system is great. The technology is fine but will still take a while to learn. At the start, it is distracting to use but i expect once I use it for awhile it will become second nature. I am quite disappointed with the lack of co-ordination between Acura, the cell phone manfuctures and service providers. At the moment I won't buy the only bluetooth phone offered by Verizon because of software glitches. Bluetooth was an important part of why I wanted this car. Acura needs to take the lead in co-ordinating the implementation of bluetooth. Just too many players with different agendas.
