Wow what an amazing car. This car has got everything and I mean everything from SH-AWD the only AWD that transfer torque from the front and the back and also right and left. From the sun sensors when you have your AC they sense where the sun is to make everyone equal temperature even when the suns beating down. Two sunshades one on each rear window and one power one on the rear that when you have the sunshade up and you pop it into reverse it lowers. From keyless entry to the voice activated DVD and when you want fast food you click the button and say "Nearest Fast Food" and it brings up the nearest fast food place to where you are. Very comfortable seats and very quiet inside. BEST CAR EVER
Great Car At A Great Price

I moved from an 02 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro w/ sport package into an Acura RL. All I can say is that I love this car. It's loaded with just about every option you would expect from a luxury car. It handles great considering the size of this car and sharp turns aren't dramatic and feels well planted. The ride quality is great although some might consider it a bit harsh, as for me, it's a huge improvement compared to the A4. Coming from an Audi, I'm used to expecting good material and build quality and this car doesn't disappoint. Just drive the cars you are considering and see which you like better. There's not much to complain about the RL, it's a fine automobile and you can bargain on price.
Does the Acura Link really work?

The car is great! I enjoy the voice commands, the power and stability. The navigation and futuristic dash make driving fun. It really holds the turns.
Great Overall Car

I have found the new RL to be a pleasure to drive. The technology is outstanding, with Voice Control that is superb. You can control the Nav system, Climate Control system, Radio, Information screens and Bluetooth enabled phones WITHOUT removing your hands from the steering wheel or your eyes from the road. The interior is well laid out. Controls are located logically, where you expect them to be. The halogen headlights with the adaptive front lighting system and fog lights produce excellent night visibility. No more fumbling with a remote, since the Keyless Access System does all the work for you. I do a fare amount of driving and enjoy every minute of it behind the wheel of my RL.

This 2005 model replaced an earlier RL 3.5. It is roomier, faster, adds all wheel drive, adds all the electronics and voice commands you can imagine, the Bose 5 channel surround sound is the world's best. Nice car!
