Acura RL Review Summary
"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."
"The RL's two main problems are a lack of luxury and a lack of performance."
"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."
"Agile for a luxury sedan, but a step behind most rear-drive rivals."
"For '04, the newly standard navigation system accepts voice commands, and satellite radio joins the list of standard equipment."
"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."
What reviewers liked least about the Acura RL:
