So on FB market the legends I have seen are either beat or little over priced so I've been looking into getting one of these used. So add to my 2007 Acura RDX sh AWD
The RL was the most confidence inspiring sedan I've ever owned. It blows the similar generation Lexus GS out of the water in terms of luxury, handling, and refinement.
I think the RL never got a fair shot in the North American market. Seems like a decent car for tbe money. Acura also didn't change much over the years. My 2018 TLX has the same navigation system they show here lol
Everyone seems to have rosy memories of the RL, but it was a sales disaster for the most of its model life , as it was out done by the BMW 5 series, Mercedes E class, Audi A6 and the Lexus GS. Reviewers found the ride quiet and supple, but under performed versus key rivals and was pricey for what it offered. The from beak grill at the end of its life also did not help much in the looks department and hastened its demise. I thought the previous generation code named KA9 was the best grand tourer in the market, but American consumers also did not share the same opinion.
Worst car I've ever owned. It's not even close. I've had 5 Hondas and 2 Acuras. This one was, by far, the worst. Everything broke. Nav, keyless entry, keyless start, trunk button, gas door button, VSA, Awd, AFL. . . ALL the cool features that made this car great when it was new ALL broke down. Not to mention it had 10 recalls.
Perhaps a bit bland but they were built extremely well. Plenty of tech for the time, tons of power, and an awesome AWD system. Also they are most likely outlasting their European rivals by now
My 2008 RL is about to hit 58k 🥹 Fantastic looking car, even today. Its solid, not overstyled or gawdy like everything out today. Its modest and respectful, and if you're handy with the paddles, its 2 full tons of fun.
Loved my RL! It was such a well-made car and one of the finest road trip machines.
Extremely reliable, and I believe in 2006 they came with the automatic braking with the technology package. Great used cars.
The first gen Acura MDX is absolutely incredible as well! 💪🏽💯
Known as the Honda Legend in other markets. Also this car offered real live traffic information for the navigation system.

@@bryanCLXTyea man the market for them is all fucked up rn but I managed to pick up an 05 aspec with 156k and no lights for 2500
@@bryanCLXT jus gotta be patient you’ll find a deal eventually
The navigation map at 4:13 is pretty smooth! Probably way smoother than anybody would expect in 2004
That interior was so comfortable compared to today’s Acura. I Had a 05 RL and now have a 22 TLX….really feel Acura cut corners over the years.
Ts because they don’t build them in Japan anymore. RL was J VIN
They don’t design them to be sold in Japan anymore.
2005 was a great year for Acura
This is late 2004 though

I love this design, and especially the interior/dash.

I really like Acura cars of this vintage, however, the interiors of these cars have mostly disintegrated by now. Especially that of the Acura TL.
I have an 06’ with over 255,000 miles on it..

Yeah I only liked it because I was a Honda fanboy growing up lol. It’s still nice to think back to those times though. It was my dream car 😂
Hindsight is usually the clearest picture
Hmm!...you do realize that American consumers are not always the brightest consumers....
KB1 is the goat 🤙
The rl was never any good on the luxury market
