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.

  RL - 2007 Acura RL
  By Ray T - March 16 - 9:56 am

  The RL has been everything it was made out to be. Interior styling is excellent and instruments easy to see and use. Exterior is sleek with the exception of the standard wheels, kind of boring. The upgrade they offer cost $3000 and you have to go to 18" rims. Only knock I have.

  Great car I never considered before test driving - 2007 Acura RL
  By Dame Irv - February 6 - 2:26 am

  I went to the dealer looking for an Infiniti G35 and decided to give this a test drive. The interior is luxurious. Leather, wood, voice operated control of the a/c, music, bluetooth, navigation, and more. The leather is great quality. I bought the car with 130k miles on it 3 years ago and ive driven it as if mileage didnt matter going from state to state. The only problems Ive had so far: I had to replace a pulley (which was really random!) and i recently had to replace the altenator. Other than that all ive had was routine maintenance that wasnt luxury car expensive.. it was honda accord expensive. I probably wouldnt buy another one but I am happy with my purchase. The Acura RL is a respectable car for any business person and for good reason.

  RL speaks quality - 2007 Acura RL
  By wynnc6 - January 12 - 11:35 pm

  I compared the BMW 5 series, Mercedes, Audi6 and Lexus 350. No comparison. The RL has SO many more features for the money it is no comparison. The RL is SOOO comfortable to drive. I got the tech package being a techie myself. I love the quality and ergonomics of the interior design. The V-6 has some punch but not like a V-8 (my only complaint). The AWD is simply awesome. The Bose 10 speaker stereo is unbelievable!

  Okay - 2007 Acura RL
  By fred - December 28 - 8:51 pm

  I enjoy owning the RL. It is very comfortable and easy to handle. Acceleration is mild for horsepower rating. It behaves as though it has turbo lag. Entry is awkward, seat and steering wheel take position when I get in the car rather than waiting until door is closed or car is started. Standard battery capacity is low. Have had to charge battery twice from sitting car with engine off trying to learn/program the computer navigation system. Fuel economy is good.

  Worth It - 2007 Acura RL
  By c5028 - December 7 - 7:18 pm

  I drive 120 miles per day R/T from Long Island to New Jersey. About 45 miles is on highways with traffic with about half during high traffic rush hour. Average speed about 40 mph. Gas mileage typically 22-23 mpg. On longer, non traffic trips 26 mpg. Never got less than 19 mpg. Car has 12,000 miles... no defects or repairs. Very comfortable, all the power you need, handles well, nothing to really complain about.

  Best cae I ever owned - 2007 Acura RL
  By Ben - October 25 - 4:03 pm

  Quality, perfect never back to dealer for anything except for free car washes. I owned Porsche and BMW, quality can not compare - great value and better overall perfomance.

  Acura RL -- ultimate intelligence - 2007 Acura RL
  By Daryl Miller - October 20 - 1:14 pm

  Truly have fallen in love with this car, because of its intelligence. The german offerings do not have the creature sensitivity the Japanese can create. The driving experience includes more than just speed or performance. Integrated with its performance is driver comfort and assistance. If you appreciate deep intelligence in design.....get this car and you wont want to ride in any other car when you go places.

  The 2007 RL was everything I thought it should be. Fast, handles like a champ and close to zero maintenance issues.
