2005-2009 Acura RL- Any BOTL own one?

[St. Lou Stu]

I don't/haven't owned one but have spent a lot of time driving them.
Background on that is that I work for an automotive service equipment manufacturer and I do all of the vehicle application testing, so I drive everything and get a chance to compare a lot of different vehicles.
Personally, I don't think the RL offers anything more than a TL SH-AWD.
The size and amenities of both are identical or very close to it.
For the cost difference you may be able to land a new TL.

Acuras in general are a solid vehicle. I don't recommend many luxury type vehicles, but I would an Acura.
If you want to bend my ear, shoot me a PM as I am not on regularly anymore.

I bet he is right on with this and the TL may be even faster. That model was not a choice when my friend and co-worker bought their car. If the that TL comes in a manual that would be amazing.

Honda makes the best manual gearbox of any car made, bar none, IMO! If more manufacturers could make them as nice there would be a lot more sticks on the road.

I have an 05 TSX Six spd. Been a solid car for the past 2 years. No issues or problems.

When we were looking for a car with a back seat for the little one we looked hard at the Acura, BMW 3 series and the Merc C class. In the end we choose a Lexus IS350. I would have picked the Acura second it was a very nice car, and I love Honda's reliability. Hard to go against Honda or Toyota, IMO.
