Not too many problems, per se. Just unhappy with the performance.
Largest turning radius of any car I have ever driven.
Large, overblown motor; can't seem to get out of its own way.
Lots of fuel.
Harsh ride; maybe that's the high performance tires. Feels like you're going 100 mph and you're only doing 70.
I'd rather drive my old Volvo 240, or even a Hyundai Sonata. Or really, my Dad's Lexus 300 ES is infinitely better mannered.
Wouldn't buy one again; just plain didn't like it. I'm sure it's a nice car, and the reliability is good. It's just like they decided to use this obnoxious motor, so they put a car around it. I thought it was a poor example of a car made by Honda.
I believe the engine is "under tuned", which contributes to it's reliability. The harsh ride must be from the tires because my 02 (same suspension) rides beutifully, and gets rated as such in professional reviews. I'm sorry your RL has let you down, but I think you're a rare owner in so far as how much you don't like it.
Good luck on future vehicles.
I do agree that the car doesn't have much power, but my RL satisfies me well.
Look at the TL more aggressive model... I couldn't stand the RL or Lexus wallowing ride either.
