The restyled first-generation Acura RL is a luxury sedan with a comfort-oriented character. If you want relaxed everyday transport, its powertrain makes more sense when judged for smoothness than outright excitement.
The Acura RL engine combines gasoline V6 power with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This setup suits unhurried commuting, with no manual gear changes to manage in traffic. When assessing a used example, check for an even idle and smooth transmission engagement and shifts, both cold and fully warmed up.
