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.

Yet another Acura... - 2004 Acura RL
By Dave4504 - November 2 - 2:00 amI come from a 91 Legend with 367,000 miles on it. Priced and drove slightly used Lexus, Mercedes, and Infintiy, I bought another Acura, new, and for THOUSANDS less. I LOVE this car. Its sexy, fast, and it handles great. It really turns heads too. I enjoy that there arent that many on the road. The V8s from the competitors are over rated. Hey, at 40, I dont put my foot to the floor often, but when I do, the V6 really moves me. The engine has LOTS of torque in the lower RPM range so merging into traffic is a breeze. Compared to the others, this is a drivers car, not a luxo- boat. My last car was never in the shop. I doubt this one will be either.

Acura RL - 2004 Acura RL
By laura25 - October 11 - 2:00 amI was waiting to make a left turn in a turn signal lane, when another car to the right of me decided to jump into my lane to also make the left turn. With my Acura, I was able to manuever my car out of his way with just a flick of my steering wheel. The other driver couldnt believe I got out of his way so Quickly. Thank God for my Acura.

RL Rocks - 2004 Acura RL
By LMcKevitt - September 13 - 2:00 amI had looked at just about every brand there is, but once I saw and drove the 2004 RL, it was no contest. The quietness of it, the features, and all at a reasonable price for what you are getting. Its a pleasure just getting into this car.

My RL 3.5 (V6) Great Value for Price - 2004 Acura RL
By vfccel - September 6 - 2:00 amI paid $36,000 for my RL 3.5 (V6) and it is well worth it. Really great ride, with no issues at all. In fact I actually enjoy driving it and I am someone who really doesnt like to drive a car. My previous cars have been a 2002 4 door, Honda Accord (V6) and 1993 4 door, Honda Accord. Great cars in the Honda family. The Acura RL 3.5 is a big step up in terms of comfort when compared to the Honda Accord V6. I cant wait for the 2005 RL.

Nelsons Point of View - 2004 Acura RL
By Nelson Kaesberg - August 30 - 2:00 amI visited a dear friend in southern CA that has a 2002 RL. I was truly impressed with the ride, handling and comfort. When the lease on my Seville expired, I test drove the RL and had to have one. Although it is much different than the Seville, its effortless response, comfort and overall good looks have not disappointed.

Great Car - 2004 Acura RL
By kleeco - August 9 - 2:00 amCar is excellent in all areas except head room! Im 63 and just cant get a comfortable seat adjustment that keeps my hair off the roof. My wife loves it, so I guess Ill just recline in the passenger seat and relax:) Otherwise, Great car and very "user friendly."

Pure Delight - 2004 Acura RL
By First Time Acura Own - July 30 - 2:00 amThis is a fabulous automobile. Its only downside, which you will read about, is that its performance is a wee bit sluggish. But this is really nothing more than a minor inconvenience from an otherwise flawless car!

rl 3.5 - 2004 Acura RL
By gary Lippman - July 20 - 2:00 amthis automobile handles exceptionally well. Styling hasnt changed in 4 years, it is due for one. The interior should have a 6 cd changer inside the the car, on the dash, not in the trunk. Very roomy and comfortable for the long trip.
