Reviewed: 2005 Acura RL

4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD

Why the 2005 Acura RL?

Handling

SH-AWD is the real deal. Diverting torque to outermost rear wheel dramatically reduces understeer on a 4000lb AWD sedan with otherwise modest handling tuned for comfort.

Powertrain performance

SH-AWD is the real deal, and the engine is responsive, especially if VTEC is engaged (5000 RPM +)

Audio & nav systems

5.1 sound and noise canceling provides a robust soundstage with a transparent tonality that lets music shine through. Navi is also well done.

This review was originally a two-car comparison review. Read the other half here.
