  My Golden Chariot - 2005 Acura RL
  By Marjorie Nave - September 13 - 2:32 pm

  I am 82 years of age and I am the one who furnished rides to all my friends day and night. I appreciate the headlight turning feature. I am a golfer and often take three friends on out of town trips so appreciate the size of the trunk. Also the sun screens in the back area are great.

  Awesome Car! - 2005 Acura RL
  By stingerbtry - July 31 - 5:31 pm

  I purchased the RL after looking at the GS and the M as well but found that I liked everything about the RL way more and for the price it couldnt be touched by the others. I am very happy with all aspects of the car and impressed with the performance from a 6cyl luxury car.

  By Jerome Ney - July 13 - 7:59 pm

  Ive owned 3 Mercedes 1 BMW 1 Audi and this is the best. I enjoy the performance and great features. I also enjoy the top quality without drawing as much attention as one does with the higher profile cars above.

  Just a Sweet Toy - 2005 Acura RL
  By My Toy - July 11 - 7:36 pm

  I was intending to get the Infinii M45/35 lexus GS330 or the Audi A6. This beats them all in all aspects. The SH-AWD is really awesome even in heavy downpour. This is the BEST.

  Undervalued - 2005 Acura RL
  By rhorne1 - June 29 - 10:24 am

  I have driven this brand for 6 years with excellent reliability. I rate this vehilcle fully capaple of holding its own. The RL adds style and the right package of "standard equipment" that meets your needs. The power from the high perf. V6 is awesome with respectable MPG. Clearly undervalued in my book. Enjoy yours!

  GREAT VALUE - 2005 Acura RL
  By harvey - June 3 - 11:11 am

  I previosly owned an Infiniti and while I enjoyed that car for the price you just cant beat the RL. Very good ride quality and everything is standard including On Star and GPS. By comparison I would have had to spend $8,000 more for an M35 with the same equipment and not get On Star which is something I wanted ever since my wife has had it in her Mercedes. Everyone who has driven with me comments on the beautifull interior. I just wish the back seat had a little more room. No problems at all. When you compare features to features with other cars, its a no brainer. hb

  Best value in its class - 2005 Acura RL
  By RL in Chicago - May 16 - 2:32 pm

  Coming from a 1997 Mercedes E420, the Acura RL is a "downgrade" from a V8, but its an upgrade in every other way. I was sick of the repair bills on the Benz ($500 to fix a outside mirror motor!), and so far, the RL has been without fault. I miss the torque of a V8, but I appreciate the improved fuel-economy, and for 90% of driving, the RL has plenty of power. However, if they had offered a larger version of this car with a V8, I would have bought that. One of the biggest reasons I bought this car is price. I paid $44,100 for it, before taxes, which is a bargin for all the content the RL includes as standard. With the same features, BMW, Mercedes, and even Lexus are much more $$$.

  Lovin It - 2005 Acura RL
  By Bert - May 11 - 8:59 pm

  I bought a certified preowned low mileage RL. The car was everything I thought and hoped it would be. I looked at Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and found this to be hands down the best value for the money. If you are considering this car, buy it, you wont be disappointed.

  The RL is a wonderful car to drive as its very smooth riding and is extremely comfortable. It also has a beautiful design. Its a very quiet riding car. The AWD, navigation center, XM radio,and moonroof are all positive features of the RL. I bought it also for the many safety features. Love it!
