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.

The AcuraTaxiCab - 2005 Acura RL
By Captain Truth - August 2 - 12:19 pmJust keep 5 words in mind..HONDA ACCORD WITH BIG PRICETAG - thats what it is. Ive given this vehicle about a year. Initial quality seemed okay. Since then its a horror show. Rattles, squeeks, noises from windows, dashboard, back panels, seatbelts ...everywhere.. make it sound like a NYC taxi. I heard this before buying but didnt believe it. Now I do. Customer care is NON EXISTANT. Dealer is clueless and cant fix anything, even after bringing in new service mgr...car not fixed when returned, not ready when promised, etc. etc. Headquarters also seems unconcearned and is not responsive. Overall a major waste of money and miserable ownership experience compared to my prev. 2 Lincolns.

Nroke down at 1200 miles sensor replaced - 2005 Acura RL
By ron - September 7 - 7:29 pmCannot see the fenders for parking, hard handling, feels like I am steering a truck. Doors in front much to heavy. Mileage is way off. Too many bells and whistles. This is my third Acura.
