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.

Well Built Luxury Car at a Great Price - 2004 Acura RL
By lovethisrl - June 9 - 2:00 amBuilt in Japan, the RL has great build quality and is extremely reliable. Standard Onstar, XM satellite radio, navigation, heated seats, Bose, and all the stuff that other manufacturers cream you for as add-ons. A very reasonable price for all that you get.

More Car for the Money - 2004 Acura RL
By friedoyster - May 20 - 2:00 amAbsolutely qualifies as an entry in the luxury car segment, but is not as technically current as its competitors (like the Lexus LS430), BUT it costs a lot less money. Since this should be the last model year for the existing design, rebates and incentives should be plentiful as well. It drives well, is extremely quiet, and has many cool creature comforts like XM sat, voice activated nav, on-star, etc. The engine is an old design and eats more gas than it should (similar MPG to the 8 cyl Lexus). Overall, its a good trade-off for value vs state-of-the-art luxury.

none - 2004 Acura RL
By jon1234 - May 17 - 2:00 amI purchased this car for traveling to work. Then my work gave me a 2003 lexus es300. After 2 weeks of driving the lexus i returned it for a traveling expense and kept my acura. My RL is far better and more comfortable than the lexus.

Great Car - 2004 Acura RL
By FormyDad - May 1 - 2:00 amI look at my different full size sedans, and the acura was the one that stood out in style, performance, and most important price. The car is a great value for what it offers.
