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.

Never thought I'd switch from Mercedes, but this car is everything and more — I had to own it. It drives and handles better than any Benz or BMW I've owned and handles curves the way no other car I tested could. I'd seen the Infiniti designs for the M and didn't care for them. Glad I went with the Acura. It's interior and exterior get raves and comments everywhere I travel. Even parking jockeys are amazed at this car. This is the real thing, a nearly perfect luxur/sports sedan and at a more than competitive price. A new BMW owner took one drive with me and hung his head woefully, wondering if he could still get his money back!
