2006 Acura RL review from North America
"Nice, but not great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everyone told me what a wonderful car the Acura is, well guess what...
Driver's door doesn't stay open when exiting or getting into the vehicle. For some unknown reason it slams shut at the slightest touch.
Windshield wipers are the pits, the top half of the glass, right in the line of vision, for some reason doesn't clean itself when functioning. I have complained to the dealer twice, they did put a new pair of blades on, but it did not help at all. For some reason there does not seem to be enough pressure on the top half of the blade. Very poor quality control and design.
General comments?
Nice car, but some of the electronics are not very good. Can't shut off information center once it is brought up on the screen.
