What reviewers liked most about the Acura RL:

With eight-way adjustability for the driver's seat plus a steering column that telescopes as well as tilts, nearly any adult should find a comfortable position behind the RL's wheel.

The 300-hp. RL is a fine piece of work - quick, quiet, surefooted, luxurious - and standard with all-wheel drive, not extra.

The interior of the new RL is befitting of a true luxury car.

I heard the test car's engine start, but it was a faint sound, and even hard acceleration brought engine sounds that seemed to be far away. This is how insulated the RL's interior is.

-- MSN Autos

Wanting only in the areas of price and power, Acura's RL offers a fresh take on the luxury sedan formula. Count standard all-wheel drive, especially comfortable seats, and a handsome cabin among RL's chief pluses.

What reviewers liked least about the Acura RL:

On the downside, RL prices are high for the class, and the only available engine comes up just short of being sporty.
