We're ready to purchase and have decided on the Lakeshore Silver exterior, although it was a difficult choice between the Celestial Silver, Desert Mist and Lakeshore. We have seen it with Ebony interior and like it but always felt that a dark interior would be too warm in the summer. We would like to see the Lakeshore with a taupe interior before purchasing, but none of the 3 dealers within 100 miles has one. Has anyone seen both interiors in the Lakeshore and have an opinion to offer? The black interior has a rich look and we're not sure about the taupe. We had an extended test drive - all weekend - and enjoyed it tremendously! It felt somewhat noisy and a little rough on a bad piece of highway, but otherwise it's wonderful. Our cell phones even paired with no problem. One problem yesterday, we received a message saying there was no keyless detected and we would be unable to restart the car if it was turned off. We drove home, stopped the engine, got out and started all over again. It worked fine. In addition, the radio wouldn't come on. Nothing but "enter code". To make a long story short, we finally found the "code" on a little card in the glove box among all of the manuals, etc, and was able to enter it and the radio was immdiately operable. Has anyone had a similar experience? Not the best experience, but we're still buying! We will, however, memorize the code! Thanks for any assistance with the interior colors. |

In the consumer guide magazine that came out didn't they knock the Acura RL for having a three foot more on its turning radius than some of the other luxury sedans they included. That seems like a lot. I am thinking about buying one and would appreciate input on whether that is something to consider. I drive a lot around town and make a lot U-turns! I also thought it was strange that they placed the Acura TL in the same test category as the RL? Does that make sense to anyone and so why not just buy the TL at 15,000 less if they rate it number 2 behind Infinity? Sounds like TL is the care maybe to get instead of RL if you read their report.

Also in the magazine they mentioned the lights weren't as good as some of the others. I can't recall exactly, but something like you couldn't see objects in the road at night very well. Anybody out there with a 2005 RL that can comment on night driving and if the lights are good or what? |
