First car I decided to buy brand new, got it with 11 miles. I'm very fortunate to have gotten such a great car for my first buy. Its just a fun car to drive and I feel proud to own one. Dont miss out on this car - you wont regret it for a second!!!

This is a wonderful automobile - nice ride, good power, luxurious. I've driven an Audi A6 for six years and test drove the new 2005 model. The Acura RL has it beat in all but a few features.

I Bought The Perfect Car

After 7 months and 6k miles, the RL is still perfect. Took it back in for first service recently, oil change and tire rotation, and there is still nothing wrong, no squeaks, rattles, leaks, or problems of any kind. I compared it with MB E320, BMW 530, Lexus, and Audi, and now realize I definitely made the right purchase decision. I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for a luxury performance automobile.

Don't Hesitate

We own only four-wheel-drive vehicles ('95 Jeep, '00 Passat, '04 Tahoe). By far, this is the best 4/AWD vehicle we have owned, but... in automatic mode, the car tends to stay in first gear a bit too long. The car does not drive like a front-wheel-drive vehicle but I have noticed a small amount of front and slide when I make a hard turn from a standstill on wet pavement. My Passat did not. The interior layout is very sensible for the basic features but it takes several hours to figure out all of the intricacies and take full advantage of the technology on board. Without the monstrously large Britax child seats in the rear seats, we could easily fit five. With them, only 4/small 5th.

I personally can't find a thing wrong with it. I would say it's the best car purchase I have ever made. everything from the handling to the keyless entry is phenomenal!
