Overview & Reviews

Entering its third year of production, the second generation of Acura's range-topping RL receives a few feature-oriented changes. The navigation system is no longer standard and is now part of the Technology package. There's also a new Technology package combined with Acura's Collision Mitigating Braking System (CMBS) and Michelin PAX run-flat tires.

• Outstanding all-weather handling, long list of standard features, neat interior design, brilliant stereo, seamless integration of multiple complex technologies.

• Modest V6 power in a class that often demands V8 grunt, somewhat numb steering.

  2007 RL - 2007 Acura RL
  By stu - July 30 - 5:41 pm

  Just purchased my RL. Build quality equal to or better than Lexus. A great value with current market support. SH-AWD useful in all weather, not just snow. A smart looking car, however not screaming I am here. Had a 2004 TL and liked it, this is much more car. I hope resale is as good on this as it was on my TL. Also owned a 2001 BMW 525, no comparison. The BMW was more like my TL. RL does seem overpriced until you drive it.

  Great Car - 2007 Acura RL
  By larrynimmo - July 14 - 8:15 am

  Number one attribute isno wind noise. The only reason you can hear the quiet tire noise is because there is no wind noise. Very comfy seats.Great tech features. Not enough power especially low end torque. Phenomenal handling characteristics. This car will turn on a dime with good manners. Fuel ecomony is poor, but I dont put on so many miles that its a factor.

  First Honda err, Acura but only here - 2007 Acura RL
  By DOneal - July 13 - 1:57 pm

  I love the car. It handles very well, a little sluggish compared to other car, MB CLK 430A, but is sufficient. I had a little bit of an initial quality problem, HID headlight on right side burned out first day or so. Car was due to go back for dealer add-ons, so no biggy. Was kinda shocked though. Key fob was nightmare for first two weeks. I made the mistake of initializing the car with driver 2s key rather than the #1 key, the car hated that. It would madly and incessantly lock/unlock and beep when I stood next to the car. Reinitialized the car to the driver 1 fob, and it hasnt happened since!

  GREAT car - 2007 Acura RL
  By Watson - June 7 - 1:42 pm

  I drove a BMW prior to this, and loved it, but I am thrilled with my Acura RL. It is so smooth, very responsive, comfortable as it could possibly be, and has every possible bell and whistle for thousands less than its Teutonic competition. I chose it over Infiniti M35 because, in my test, it handled better, and I much prefer the looks. GREAT car so far.

  Great vehicle - 2007 Acura RL
  By Gearheadded - May 29 - 10:22 am

  If not the best vehicle for under $40K it has to be in the top five. Exceptional build quality, great performance, just a great vehicle. First time Ive had strangers compliment my vehicle. Would definitely buy again.

  Bang for the Buck - 2007 Acura RL
  By veritas7 - May 14 - 11:25 am

  I love this car! I havent had it long but I am very impressed with how well it handles the road. The RL is a solid vehicle and is equipped with just about everything for less money than its competitors.

  Awesome car - 2007 Acura RL
  By Jim Cogan - April 17 - 7:41 am

  This car is just an incredible vehicle, very high tech, but easy to figure out. The stereo is awesome, love the subwoofer. Controls are very accessible. Voice command system works great. Smooth ride, dont even know you are going as fast as you are (yikes). Gas mileage not as good as I hoped, but it is all wheel drive. This car has many options that you would pay 10k more for vehicle. handling is incredible and steering response is nice

  Lot of value for the money - 2007 Acura RL
  By dalien - April 8 - 12:53 am

  Drove high end MBZ and Lexus for decades. Bought the RL for the seat (bad back) and took what came with it. For 20K+ difference Im more than pleased with the result. The RL is a dream to drive, and the cornering is amazing. The engine has all the power I need. I concur with all the positive comments seen here and have only one big squawk. I HATE THE STEERING WHEEL! Its not the wheel thats so bad even if it is too slippery, its that its loaded with so much stuff it looks like a game controller. The shift paddles are right in the way for a clean grip as are the telephone buttons which I dont use either. Remove that crap and sticky up the wheel and Id give "fun to drive" a 10 also.

  Dream Machine - 2007 Acura RL
  By Artie - April 2 - 9:11 pm

  The Acura RL w/Tech Pkg. is truly a dream machine. Dynamically engineered, superb build quality, fit and finish, quality materials and technically ahead of its competition. The RL is the best kept secret of ’07. It goes beyond the “Best Bang for the Buck” this well crafted automobile has exceeded my expectations in every way.

  Super car and an amazing value - 2007 Acura RL
  By Dave S - March 28 - 4:22 am

  The RL is a magnificent machine, and far and away the best value in its class. It is cram packed with cool technology and the AWD delivers amazing handling in all kinds of weather. Fit and finish are supurb. This car puts a smile on my face every day on the way to work each morning and tempts me to take the "long way" home each night. Highly recommended.
