It is the best value on the market for a luxury vehicle. The ride is smooth and not stiff as in an Acura TL or BMW. The Bose stereo is excellent and has the XM radio already supplied unlike Lexus. I've owned Acura's before and their repair history is superb. Their dealers also treat you like you would expect unlike American car dealerships. I compared this car to the 2006 model Lexus GS 300 and liked them both. I believe they compare favorably with one another. However, $ for $, the RL comes out on top in my opinion once you start adding the extras to the Lexus that the RL already has.

We were replacing a 1997 Acura RL, so we were familiar with the Acura product. Looked for the 2nd generation RL, and found the 2006 Acura RL on Ebay after looking at many online and at dealerships. This car is a no brainer.... AWD and Technology packed. The best buy in its class! Absolutely love this car!

Before this car I had a 7 series BMW. The Acura is as good or better in every area except interior noise level. I also believe the Acura dealers and Service departments to be superior than most. I will most likely upgrade to another RL someday provided they improve the noise level.

I have had my 1998 RL since 2002, it now has 140,000 miles and runs flawlessly. The leather is extremely soft and comfortable, the Bose produces great sound, 6 CD changer, good gas mileage, great looks for a 10 year old car. As with all Hondas I have ever had the window sometimes slides off track, but fora ten year old car thats a pretty minor complaint. I also have a 99 TL which I have had some transmission problems with, but nothing of the sort with this car. It is so rock solid and dependable, perhaps one of the best buys under $10000. Could use some more power and a sportier steering feel. Acura stands behind their product and this one is guaranteed to run forever.

This is a superb car. I bought it used for the same money as a five year old Honda Accord and it is vastly more comfortable and entertaining to drive. Reliability is excellent. It has 90k on it and will likely go another 100k without much more than standard maintenance. It is very smooth and quiet. I put on 2100 miles after I picked it up and arrived home fresh; I can't say that about my other Hondas. The suspension is good, but I'd prefer something more sporty; however there doesn't seem to be aftermarket performance shocks and springs readily available. Performance on ice and snow is only average. Oddly, though this car is loaded there is no decent coin tray.

This Acura is simply great to drive, all the options are standard and work well. It is a solid and large feeling car without slowing down cornering or acceleration by much (still a 6.5-7 sec 0-60). I used to enjoy driving, but now even more so. The steering is more heavy and tight than Lexus (which I am used to), but is much more sporty. The AWD is great in the snow and gives me an edge getting around hilly roads with ice/snow. The SH is only noticeable when you are driving aggressive or dangerous, but adds a bit of fun when you push it - it does work.
Driving a loaner TL when my RL was getting routine maintenance was dissappointing (the '08 TL buttons/interior seemed cheaper and handling was not noticeably faster). The seats are impressively adjustable and comfortable.
Cons: Fuel mileage and initial cost. No matter how I adjust the navigation marker, it always seems to be a bit ahead or behind (~30 ft). The phone connection is a bit buggy (at least for my cell model) and always asks for connection setup at startup. Occassionally, the doors do not lock automatically when I press the handle and I have to use the keyfob (may be user error). Could use more useful storage pockets in center console like some of the American cars, i.e. designed for cell, sunglasses, papers, etc.
Overall, I am very pleased and would recommend to those in the market in this segment.

THE CAR IS JUST AWSOME INSIDE AND OUT. THERE IS NOTHING NOT TO LIKE ABOUT IT. THE GAS MILAGE IS GREAT TOO! THE ONLY THING THAT I COULD SAY OTHER THAN THE CAR IS GREAT IS THAT THE BACK SEAT IS A LITTLE SMALL.

Dropping nearly 10,000 on a car, sight unseen, if not for eBay, would be foolish. But, eBay's system, particularly being able to have a good sense of Sellers' reputation and past performance, is invaluable. The car was transported over 2,000 miles, from Decatur, IL, to Seattle, WA, and it was fabulous... even better than the pictures. Thanks eBay! and all of you eBayers for making the system honest and reliable.

I love my Ac......It is an awesome car. It performs very well on the road especially at high speeds. It has a very comfortable ride. It is affordable luxury at its best. It is a real "headturner". This car gets noticed! It is an excellent buy!! It holds its value.....It's an AC!!!!! Gotta love it!
