This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Quiet cabin, smooth ride, standardized features list, excellent build quality.
Cons:
  • Lackadaisical acceleration, some luxury features not available, little inclination for sport, costs as much as more modern European sedans.

    Although 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 -

    I 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.
