Up for sale is a 2005 Acura RL with 86,964 miles. I'm the second owner. Car is silver with black/ebony interior. VERY solid car. The extended warranty just expired and I only used it a few times for very minor things. Absolutely no problems and a fantastic buy. Very dependable luxury car! 

The only reason I am selling due to an expanding family and we just purchased an SUV. This car needs to go as I don't have anymore garage space. I hate to sell the RL, but we need the room. I will hopefully purchase another one in the future. 

The RL in my opinion is the finest quality Acura available. This generation was 100% made in Japan, and the fit/finish shows. The car is in great condition and I also installed some optional features which will be included in the sale: Wood Grain Steering Wheel, Tinted Windows (35% all around), Wood Grain Shift knob, Cargo Net, and All-Weather Mats. 

OPTIONS INCLUDED:
-I am also including a set of Bridgestone Blizzak Snow Tires WITH a spare set of OEM wheels (Tire pressure sensors installed). These were used for only two seasons. Might be overkill to have snow tires with AWD, but you will be thrilled with this performance. 

-Woodgrain Steering wheel
-Woodgrain Shift Knob
-35% tint
-Genuine Acura All-Weather Mats
-Cargo Net

Issues: One minor chip on pass rear taillight. I would also recommend an alignment, as the car has not had such service since ownership. Oil change recently done, but Timing Belt/Water Pump service needs to be done. Car is currently being stored and not driven,  

***Priced low to sell!***

2021 Acura TLX Long-Term Update | Seats look great, feel less so

Fri, Jun 11 2021

There's a lot to like about our Acura TLX A-Spec's interior. In particular, I love the vivid red leather upholstery, the satisfying drive mode selector, and the loads of space inside. What I'm not so in love with is the actual design of the front seats. They look great and are quite shapely with the undulating black faux suede inserts and leather piping separating the aforementioned red leather panels. But they're underwhelming when they're under you. My biggest complaint is that the seat bottom is extremely short, and the adjustment for angle is a bit limited. As such, my thighs lack support, and on a long trip, this can become quite uncomfortable. The Acura is far from the only car I've experienced with this issue, but with our car priced over $45,000, it's surprising there isn't more adjustment, or some sort of seat base extender common in sportier cars (most notably BMW). 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec View 51 Photos Also disappointing is the lack of lateral support. The seats look like they have some decent bolsters, but they're very soft and fairly wide apart. As such, they don't do much to keep you in place. And although this isn't the full-force Type S, the A-Spec still has an air of sportiness about it, so it seems like something Acura would want to improve a little. It's not all bad, though. The seats themselves have thick and reasonably soft cushioning, so the parts of you that are supported are comfortable. The adjustable lumbar support is actually quite excellent with the ability to add quite a bit over a large area. Overall, I'm not angry with the TLX's seats, I'm just a bit disappointed. They wouldn't put me off the car, I just think that, for as good as so much else is, it deserves something better. Related Video:

2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid [w/video]

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Having already driven and reviewed the 2014 Acura RLX this year, colleagues Steven Ewing and Jeffrey Ross poured several thousand words into apprising it, then someone took the safety off the Comments and flipped them to "Fully Automatic" because those two reviews and four brief posts were hit by more than 1,200 of your deeply felt sentiments.
People care about Acura.
Roughly half of those comments were in reply to news of this car, the 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, a sedan that intends to show that Acura cares, too. Underneath a skin almost imperceptibly different from the standard RLX, the one that has given us P-AWS (Precision All-Wheel Steer), is a Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system that replaces the mechanical components it relies on in the TL and MDX with computerized sophistication and three electric motors. Top that off with more power, and the aim is to provide a machine that does a better job of getting Acura a starting spot in the premium luxury game than the erstwhile and now all-but-forgotten RL that the RLX replaces.

Honda exec says US market near capacity, could hurt subprime buyers

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Is there a point in the US auto industry where companies should start considering the welfare of their customers ahead of selling more cars? American Honda Executive Vice President of Sales John Mendel thinks that level exists, and we may be getting very close to it.
According to Automotive News, Mendel believes that finding more customers in the market could require pursuing subprime buyers and offering longer-term loans. However, he refuses to use those tactics. While selling models this way can improve things briefly, the strategies hurt resale prices and lower vehicle profits over time. The company won't do "stupid things in the short-term that damage the person who bought yesterday," he said to Automotive News. "It's a very, very short-term tactic especially in the subprime area."
American Honda, which combines the Acura and Honda brands, has seen market share decline from 9.7 percent to 9.1 percent through July 2014, according to Automotive News, and Autoblog's By the Numbers stats showed it posted falling sales in five of the seven months with data this year. Though, Mendel claims that was partially because the company focused on retail sales over fleets. The delays of the launches for the Honda Fit and Acura TLX likely didn't help either.
