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.

  Excellent handling, comfortable and reliable. The electronics and features are awesome. The only negative is that it passes everything on the highway but the gas station.

  Love My RL - 2005 Acura RL
  By FredPhiPsi - January 8 - 11:06 am

  I am a car buff and an Audi junkie. My last 7 cars have been Audi A6s or its equivalent (i.e. 100, 5000). When I decided to buy the RL I was hoping I would not suffer Audi separation distress. No problem. The RL is a joy to drive. It is geared so well, I never use the auto stick which I used 100% of the time when driving the A6. The radio is the best I have ever heard in an automobile. The ride is a perfect blend between sporty responsiveness and comfort. Steering is awesome with good feedback from the road and great on-center control. Seating is extremely comfortable. I am a Realtor and the NAV system is the best I have ever used. The all wheel drive is the best out there.

  Does the Acura Link really work? - 2005 Acura RL

  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.

  Extremely Satisfied - 2005 Acura RL
  By bawl - August 22 - 2:10 pm

  For over a year Ive been evaluating luxury sedans. Ive driven them all with the exception of the Infiniti M - personal distaste. I found that the RLs combo of aesthetics, features, reliability (yet unproved, but its a Honda)and performance left the competition (530, E, new A6, GS) far, far behind. The throttle response is superior to that of any of those mentioned, and though I really liked the ride of the 530 w/ sport package, the RLs is very competitive. The interior is as plush and finished as the E, GS and A6, but better conceived than all. I didnt like the 5s inside. Its much more handsome in person than in any of the PR pics. 10 of 11 most unreliable cars are Euro.

  This one has it all- power, comfort, good mileage, and full of techie gadgets. Comes with michelin tires though the spare is Bridgestone (have to buy as much as possible from the home country!). Great warranty includes roadside assistance including airfare if needed. A better buy than the Lexus which is cost inflated by the name.
