Why the 2004 Acura RL?

Exterior styling

Conservative, distinguished, tasteful, good looking, will never go out of style.

Interior styling

Tasteful interior. The "camphor wood" trim is wonderful, though there is less of it than earlier models. The hard, tough seat leather is the exception. It is clearly made from cheap, inferior hides.

Why Not the 2004 Acura RL?

Reliability & durability

I wonder if the car contained a time bomb that went off when the warranty expired. HVAC and audio systems required expensive repairs. Poor durability for a 4-year old car with only 27,500-miles. Acura customer service denied assistance.

Dealer practices

Dealer does unnecessary work for my account. One episode included $100 of unsolicited "chemical services". These were oil, transmission, gasoline and other additives. Tired of fighting with them. The car is now serviced at an independent shop.
