2002 Acura RL Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2002 Acura RL:

  • The 3.5RL follows Acura's successful formula of providing a long list of standard luxury features in a single model. The only option is a navigation system.- Car and Driver
  • The RL's two main problems are a lack of luxury and a lack of performance.- Edmunds.com
  • Most rivals have more power, a more isolated ride, and the improved response of a 5-speed automatic transmission. Absence of curtain airbags is another significant shortfall in this class.- Consumer Guide
  • Agile for a luxury sedan, but a step behind most rear-drive rivals.- Consumer Guide
  • The ride is smooth on freeways thanks to a suspension that soaks up most road irregularities. The engine, too, is free of noise, vibration and harshness.- Edmunds.com
