2005 Acura RL Review:
What can I say Acura/Honda continue to out do themesleves and always bring something fresh to the table every few years. My 2006 RL is the 20th Acura that I have owned since 1986. I have never been dissapointed by the quality and performance that my Acura's have provided to me over the years.

When I purchased my 2006 RL, the only option added was the A-Spec package which really improved my RL's overall looks and gave me a little extra boost in handling. The 2006 was the last year for OnStar in the RL and though I thought it was a gimmick at first I am glad to have it. The SH-AWD is awsome and makes my RL as much fun to drive hard as my 93 NSX, especially in wet and snowy weather. In snow I liken my RL to my MDX in terms of traction and all wheel drive stability. I give raves to the technology package with XM live traffic. The vehicles interior is comfortable and the ride is quiet and smooth. Trunk space is excellent and I have always been able to store plenty of luggage or groceries inside. The RL's standard features offer great bang for the buck for less money than you would spend for a Mercedes or BMW; Both of which I have owned in the past and spent thousands loading them up with options that the RL has as standard equipment.
