Overview & Reviews
The RL is completely redesigned for 2005, and now sports a 300-horsepower V6 and standard all-wheel drive.
- Quiet cabin, handles well for a large sedan, excellent build and materials quality, unique all-wheel-drive system, innovative navigation system offers real-time traffic information.
- Lacks the low-end grunt of a V8, still lacks the prestige of its European competition.

big bang for the buck - 2005 Acura RL
By 3rdrcn - December 30 - 9:26 amI have driven a lot of different vehicles from Cadillac to Jaguar and this vehicle is all around one of the vehicles that is most fun to drive. It is a great trade off for the gas mileage and creature features.

Great Car - 2005 Acura RL
By Jim Ferrari - December 16 - 5:00 pmLove the car. Car is quick, comfortable and very well built. compliments from family and friends on my choice of the RT. Still working on the Nav system, and doubt that I will ever be able to use it to its full potential. Its still fun and it seems like I find something "new" everytime I drive the car.

The Best Car Ever Owned - 2005 Acura RL
By Moore - November 30 - 11:33 amI have owned 6 different cars including 2 Acuras and have driven at least 5 different types of cars owned by my husband. This is the best car I have owned or driven. I would highly recommend it because of its reliability, technology, and styling. Thank you.

mckays toy - 2005 Acura RL
By ???? - September 4 - 3:30 pmI just love my car. I have driven others and owned other more expensive cars and none came close to the overall pleasure I get from my rl. I love all the instrumentations and all the extras that come standard with this car. It is the best I have ever had. I like it even better than my corvette.

Best of the Best - 2005 Acura RL
By Robert Durso - August 17 - 1:23 amWent from a BMW 760LI to the 2005 Acura RL. The Acura although smaller (didnt get it for the people in the back anyway) is just as comfortable. Its also quicker and you cant beat the all wheel drive. The nav computer and bose sound system is better in the Acura.

VERY HAPPY WITH NEW ACURA - 2005 Acura RL
By JEFF - July 31 - 2:30 pmThis Acura RL replaced my BMW 745i. The ride in the Acura is comparable to the BMW---only the Acura is MUCH more reliable. I have had the Acura for 3 months. My BMW had been towed twice in the first three months!

The Realtors vehicle of choice - 2005 Acura RL
By Roberts - July 28 - 12:00 pmExcellent comfort for ALL passengers! Plenty of leg room, quite and wonderful handling. All the power you will ever need! Beautiful interior design with just about everything "voice actuated!" The only negative thing I can say about the new RL is that the trunk space is a little too small for my "for sale" signs.

cabin noise - 2005 Acura RL
By tom abate - June 19 - 6:20 amAlthough my wife and I have only 250 miles on the car, she really likes all the technology and the handling. My biggest complaint is the interior cabin road noise. Completely unacceptable in a $45,000 car. I am not sure why all the noise, but I have inquired with the dealership and am waiting for answers. I drive a 1994 Lexus LS 400 and was very surprised at the difference in the road noise between the cars

Spectacular!!!!! - 2005 Acura RL
By San Diego Owner - May 21 - 4:36 amYou will never want to drive anything else once you involve yourself with this vehicle!! It is comfort at its best and performs beautifully!! The interior design features are well thought out. The real time traffic display on the navigation system is very helpful as well as the ability to us voice to operate. It is easy to use too! XM Satellite radio is awesome too. The Acuralink website is the greatest asset for maintaining your vehicle and handling your pymts, scheduling appts, etc. The is simply the best!
