I owned a Honda Accord Type V for 14 years and was chuffed with it, it doing everything i wanted, plus being a manual which i always preferred. That is until a month ago some twat broadsided me and it has been written off by the insurance. I could have bought it back off the insurance as it was only cosmetic damage and very nearly did but thought at my time of life i could do with something a bit more plush and comfortable, so i scoured the internet and bought one of these which in the UK are called the Legend. I travelled down by train and the seller picked me up at the station and i drove it back and it was the most relaxed drive i have had in years. It has full service history with it which always makes a car a better seller and i got it at a good price. 2006 vintage with 75K on the clock. I hope to seriously ramp up the mileage with this and i am sure i will. Great informative vid by the way.

I got mine for $5250 Canadian

Very nice video ,thanks!!

What happens when your screen goes in and out?

I got my 2005 RL with a new engine put in it for 3k the inside is definitely worn compared to yours but I love this car

WW excellent coverage of 2005 RL. I'm the original owner of 2005 RL and it has over 172k mileage. Never had a problem. It is very cost effective car. Beside oil change and brake pads I haven't spent any money on any repair. It has everything I need Blue tooth phone connection etc. The only thing I wish it had was backup camera. I love the car and plan to keep as long as possible.... Thank you Acura

Dude I bought a 2004 rl 3.5 with the navigation system heated seats&side mirrors a couple years ago from a lady who just had it sitting in the front yard bcuz it had some electrical problems that needed fixing right, guess how much I got it for?...... 600$buckaroos.. major win if yu ask me. I took it off her hands had it dropped off at mechanic shop, paid around 500bucks to fix it and from then on this little fucker has not failed me yet. it has more than 200000thousand miles on it an its still going strong.. I constantly get compliments on it along with offers to buy it off me.. but I always turn then down since it a rare and reliable car....

I found an 05 with 37k on it recently. I bought dat bish quickly. 14k out the door.

I have a 06 had it for 9 years now and still love it. There is many things he missed like for a 06 it has TPMS sensors in the tires so you can see air pressure and get warnings if your leaking and run flat tires, It has sensors and it will hit the brakes and stop you from rear ending someone or something and it works it has twice saved me from rear ending someone and one of those times it stopped from me going 60 plus mph to almost a complete stop truly amazing, also the headlights turn the direction you are turning the cruise control is adaptive and does everything but steer, they have Acura link and on star and on a hot day if you push the unlock button twice and hold it down the 2nd time it will roll down all the windows and it opens the sun roof to let the hot air out before you enter it just to name a few, there are several more things I could go on and on about in the upgraded tech package models. I've upgraded the sounds to a full audio control system 4 amps 3 subs and 3-way components in mine went full on SQ, I put an air ride system on it with 20" rims, Factory body kit from Japan off their Honda Legends (Same Car) and next summer I plan to have it painted and have the motor built and run a turbo on it. All I can say is this car is really one of the best cars I have drove even compared to newer 2020+ cars and it's a head turner mine is tricked out yes but even before I started doing the custom add on's I got complements everywhere I went, and no one believes me when I say it's a 06. After this it a full-on car show summer Cruser I plan to get a newer Acura for my daily.

Got one in May this year, 168300. Investment of 1750 brought it upto standards. Great ride. Had. 2000 rl with 246000. Tjis us in another world.

Only downside is a complete lack of aftermarket support and hard to find bespoke parts make brake jobs and such a bit pricey...

Aren't those shrouds used to cool the brakes?

Those shrouds actually direct air to your hub assembly for brake cooling

I have a 2005 rl .. wife loves it .

I am considering grabbing one in decent shape at 220k miles. I like taking risks.

I owned a 2005 Acura RL in LA for about 1 year. Best car I've ever owned. Very dependable literally problem free. A lot faster than you would think. And the gas mileage on the highway I was able to get 28 miles per gallon driving from California to Phoenix Arizona

I bought a 2014 RLX this year. Absolutely insane how many features this thing has. 19k for it so right around Kelly blue book range but for me personally it was worth every penny. The ANC is INSANE and riding down the road is fantastic

The only problem it’s illegal to modify the exhaust.

Actually that grill makes the air less turbulent, so it’s really better to leave them in.

If that's a Bible in the glovebox don't be ashamed to mention it

The sound of VTEC!

I would totally take this over an e60 5 series or a w211 E-class anyday

Do you still own it? Have you had any major work done on it? Was it costly?

Such a boring car, unfortunately. They didn't review well, they didn't sell well, and they completely missed the mark from the Acura Legend. They were small inside, still no V8 option, definitely felt slower than the HP would indicate, the SH didn't really help unless you were being very aggressive which you never do with the car because it just doesn't want to. The crazy thing was this was the last Acura made in Japan. It should have been such a good car, but even the reliability wasn't super great. Drivetrain was mostly okay, but random electronic issues such as being locked out of your car and/or won't start. And it's not that people didn't know about these, we just knew there was something better out there.

I got a 1998 red convertible C5 I drove it from Chillicothe Ohio to Dallas Texas , and love it messing with the mustangs on the road

September 2020 it got totaled by a stupid driver trying to run a red-light. Had it since December 2019. I mourn the days when my recent cars break down and ever since then I haven't been able to find a vehicle as bulletproof as this car was. Started everyday, never leaked, never stopped running after endless hours, hell it was so reliable I would just do preventative maintenance just because I would be bored not working on it for awhile. Nonetheless, enjoy what you have while it's yours because you never know what driver is out there to take it away from you. Haven't been able to find one like it since (especially in this used car market now)

LOVE my '05 black on black RL!! I paid $3200 with 196k km.

Just got an 05 a month ago n its sweet still today! Love the throaty n sporty v6 awd

Just snagged an 05 with black interior for $4000 USD, 170k on the clock. Came on 19" Yokohama wheels that were $3500 new lol

Hopefully getting a 05 tomorrow!!

Well what happened

I just picked up an RL for $7200 and I'm going to take it in for the full timing belt kit. My only complaint is the chrome trim peeling off 😥

Check engine light on lol why

My uncle had this car then gave it to my sis for 1k, who then gave it to my dad, and now I have it. I absolutely love the car, even though she needs some body and interior repairs, she runs beautifully. I plan to keep the car for many years to come.

Now it's just the far past

Hi

good job

I bought my 05 RL last year for $150. Been a great car so far. 240K miles strong and still going.

Dude.... seriously you made me car sick with all that camera movement. Get a clue.

Fog light shroud removal?..Looks like Chevy got it wrong. NOT!

I have a C5 and I want to do that exhaust mod. Is that a kit or did you have a muffler shop fabricate and install it?

Every RL was ahead of it’s time

You do not have clue as to the C5 intake filter air flow path. The stock system is perfect, you just ignore the air flow. Why?

Best Acura 🔥🔥🔥

What happened? 3 years no update

I bought my RL 2005 two weeks ago for 2,800 with 1,74000miles and I have to say that I'm very happy with this car..

This car is for folks who want a TL but can't afford one Not bad kinda ugly especially compared to the TL but still a pretty good buy

This is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen for its year. Really well made video

Great review!
