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.

  A wise choice - 2005 Acura RL
  By giorgichigo - July 26 - 3:48 pm

  Drives like a Mercedes and has more features at a lower price point. It took me a while to adjust after years of driving BMWs but I have grown to appreciate this vehicle, its comfort and outstanding reliability.

  They Keep Getting Better - 2005 Acura RL
  By Gordon - April 11 - 4:48 pm

  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 worlds best. Nice car!

  Honest and thorough review - 2005 Acura RL
  By victorCA - April 1 - 1:06 pm

  This is one unbelievable automobile. It is probably one of the most technologically advanced vehicles out there! However, I expected much better acceleration for a 300hp car!! My cousins TL feels much faster. Handling is also a couple notches below the German vehicles, but overall very good. Ride and comfort are great and it is very quiet, though not as quiet as my friends LS 430. Seats are ultra comfy, and interior materials are first class!

  Like riding on clouds. Very quiet interior with super sound system, esp the DVD audio. Great handling and power, esp with the paddle shifters. Fit and finish are perfect. Navigation is intuitive.

  big bang for the buck - 2005 Acura RL
  By 3rdrcn - December 30 - 9:26 am

  I 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 pm

  Love 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 am

  I 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 pm

  I 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.
