1998 Acura RL Special Edition review from North America
"A really nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left rear power window motor stopped at 60,000 miles and was covered under warranty.
General comments?
Since I have had this car, the only problem I have had was with the left rear power window and just yesterday had to replace the windshield because of a crack. Other than that this is an amazing car that has lots of luxury features. Every single person who has sat in the car has complimented me on how nice it really is and how comfortable it is. I recommend this car to anyone who wants a great ride and a wow effect from others. I travel from school and back which is a 700 mile drive each way and it is perfect. It rides smooth, it is fast, sleek and full of options. The Bose sound system is fantastic and the seats are perfect. Since I bought this car, I have invested in HID lights and a front Bra to protect the front bumper and hood, which I highly recommend to anyone for long distance highway driving. The only little complaint I have about this car is that the transmission can be a little hard shifting. The shifts are not exactly that smooth.
