#1 of 3 Acura RL seats are too hard (2010 model). by bellhead Aug 02, 2009 (8:04 am)
I sat in an 2010 Acura RL and found the seats too hard, especially in the thigh support area. The TL seats are better, softer but still supportive. I hope Acura puts somewhat cushier seats in the upcoming 2011 generation. I found the seats in the previous generation (2004 and earlier) better, not nearly as firm. Seat comfort is critical for me in a car, ahead of all other factors.
#2 of 3 Leather Seat Problems by ksellis Sep 26, 2009 (12:05 pm)
We bought a '08 Acura. At about 4 monts old we started to have issues with the seats. The front leather seats started to wear/tear abnormally. This has occurred on both front seats. On the side upper panel closest to the door. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything like this?? Thanks! Replies to this message: ed307 (Oct 01, 2009 6:32 pm)

Replying to: ksellis (Sep 26, 2009 12:05 pm) I bought a 2008 RL in March of last year, and I’m quite happy with it after 17,000 miles of driving. That said, I recently noticed premature signs of wear on the left upper side of the driver’s seat. My wife has a 2003 Town Car with the same color leather seats, but they are almost like new, even after seven years and 76,000 miles of driving. I generally keep my cars for six to eight years, so I'm disappointed -- and concerned.
