2005 Acura RL consumer reviews

Bought an extremely well maintained 2005 RL everything worked perfect. With the Super Handling All Wheel Drive, this car goes around turns like a go kart. The luxury interior is very well done. It has leather and wood everywhere and the most comfortable seats I have ever experienced in a car. It has a full range of electronic devices to make your drive more pleasurable- power everything including power rear window sun screen, terrific Bose 5.1 sound system, and satellite radio. Ten months after we bought this car, it was totaled when someone t-boned us. Although they hit us at over 40 mph and did a lot of damage to the exterior of our car, nothing inside our car was damaged (the windows didn't even shatter). The other car front end was destroyed. The Acura RL is built like a tank.

Shifting is a little funky and that causes it to respond a little sluggish. But the reliability record is really solid.

Even at 10 plus years old it still was one of my favorite cars to own! Most comfortable, full of modern tech, great and in snow and quick.

Wonderful car. It comes with every feature as standard, whereas a BMW requires lots of add-ons with thousands of dollars and up charges. It even has the distributed torque SH-AWD, like other high performance cars. VTech feels like A turbo kicking on and hire a rpm.

What a great overall car - fun, comfortable, fast, stylish, refined, practical, and awesome sounding music!!

Owned 3 in a row! Great cars! Runs exceptionally well and well built. I've not had any problems with Acura's. My favorite car!

this car is by far the best car i have owned that was under $10k. It has a Honda engine so it can go up to the 300k without any problem. Very comfy and luxurious and has the latest technology we see in 2017 even though it is a 2005 model. Never disappointed under any condition.

Great car for 12 years old and still has all the features of today's cars. Great ride and comfort.

My Acura RL has been extremely reliable and virtually trouble free. Yes, I had to replace items that wear through normal wear and tear - the battery, brakes, tires, timing belt, catalytic converter. One small complaint - the windshield wipers are kinda special and may cost as much as $85. You have search a little to find ones at a reasonable price. They are not available at walmart or typical auto parts stores. Online you can find refills for about $30. The electronics have held up 100%. The engine 100%. The rest of the drive train, suspension, etc.. - 100% Just a great car and very much under appreciated by most.

This is my second 2005 Acura RL. Amazing vehicle. Unstoppable in the snow, super fast, quiet, looks like its 1 year old vs 11!
