  • In this video I discuss all the interesting features and drive the forgotten advanced for it's time, Acura RL. Be sure to follow my instagram page to stay up to date on future channel content. Thank you for all the support, I think this car should clean up nicely.

    I have a 2008 Acura RL platinum frost metallic. I bought it new and now have 173000 miles. i will drive it till I'm too old to drive. But what you failed to realize is the build quality on the rl is better and it has power tilt telescoping steering wheel which the tl don't have etc. the tl is nothing compared to the rl period

      I have the same model year and color. It is understated elegance, but the exterior design still looks modern today. I love the flush b-pillar (first in the automotive history). The sloping dashboard and gauges are modern and fit and finish is high quality.

    I have a 2010 acura RL sh-awd 3.7L, it has every package acura offered for that year, I got it for 10k with 60k miles on it, it's an awesome car, and I almost did not get it, and the sound system in it amazing, along with the power is great it is alot faster than i thought it was. I don't think I have ever seen another rl on the road like mine

    I bought the RL 06 last summer and I’m so lucky the previous owner took care of it so well. He gave me a list of all the Maintenance he ever did. This is the best first car I could’ve possibly imagined haha. As long as I keep maintaining it I should be able to prolong it as much as possible!!

  • @merc340sr
    @merc340sr ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great car, but bad marketing. For the price of a new RL, you could get an entry level BMW, or Mercedes. The other problem is that the luxury car buyers often want a V8 and rear wheel drive. The RL had front/all wheel drive and a 6 cylinder only. True as well, the TL offer much the same for afew thousand dollars cheaper. That said, I think the 2009-2010 looked the best. I wanted one but given my limited budget and poor fuel consumption, I opted for 2010 Honda Accord EX, 4 cylinder. The Accord looks pretty good and gets the job done.

    what you have there is a 2006 RL with PAX/CMBS package, the rear view camera is dealer optional install.
    The SH-AWD in the RL is one of a kinda there is no other Acura in the line up has the feature of the unique belong to the RL.
    The RL can be found used for cheap and it could be a bless and curse at the same time (have you ever looking into buying suspension part?) lol.
