Overview & Reviews
The RL receives only minor changes for the 2004 model year. The dash has been slightly revised to accommodate a newly available XM radio. To accompany the digital-quality sound from XM radio, there's a new Bose audio system with two additional speakers and an in-dash six-disc CD changer. The previously optional navigation system is now standard on the RL, as is driver-side power lumbar adjustment.
- Quiet cabin, smooth ride, standardized features list, excellent build quality.
- Lackadaisical acceleration, some luxury features not available, little inclination for sport, costs as much as more modern European sedans.

My favorite Car - 2004 Acura RL
By Todd Scherer - June 25 - 2:00 amAlthough the styling is subdued, it still is a bit wolf in sheeps clothing. I am interested in what Acura chose to improve on in 2005. This version is a great car after 100,000 miles. I still enjoy it every day. I put spoty TL wheel on the car and it looks great.

Great Value - 2004 Acura RL
By joep4542 - May 8 - 2:00 amI think the RL is a really well built vehicle. It is very smooth and the interior quality is incredible. The engine is a little weak, and I would have enjoyed it a bit more in all wheel drive, but overall this car is comfortable and fun to drive.

Why this car - 2004 Acura RL
By abettinger2 - March 21 - 2:00 amI had a 1994 Legend and for 160,000 miles only one unscheduled maintenance for a stuck brake caliper at 140,000. I chose the car for the comfort of the seats, the firm ride (no wallowing and surfing) and the quality and durability. There is more than enough power for everyday driving

Acura 3.5 Review - 2004 Acura RL
By MsJones - March 6 - 2:00 amI am very pleased with the performance and style of this vehicle. Edmunds keeps stating that it is outdated as far as style, but not everyone wants that cut off back European look. I think Honda did an excellent job with this automobile and as always they will always continue to build a quality vehicle.
