What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Acura RL
"Best secret in used cars"
"this Car listed over 50 grand new it’s Acura’s flagship still made in Japan and there’s not many around fast fun all wheel drive luxury loaded for under 10grand good luck finding one with low miles but if you do buy it"
"Great car."
"I travel for work and have put a lot of miles on this car. Highly recommend this car. The newer ones have some nice updates with the new saved music files and xm radio weather, but over all the 2005 is very similar to the new models and I actually prefer the looks of the front grill on my 2005 compared to more recent years."
"The best car I have ever owned"
"I bought this car in June, 2009. I bought it then because it was more spacious than the Audi, BMW and definitely the Volvo S80. When I told my mechanic that I was buying an Acura, he told me he would never see me again and he was correct. Other than the airbag recall on this car, nothing but brakes and tires have had to be replaced. It has been a wonderful car. I loved the styling, the cruise control is the easiest to operate that I have had in a car and the navigation system is much easier to use than the BMW my husband had and the Volvo he now has. The seats are incredibly comfortable also."
