AWD is only good if you have the right tires for the season, in mass I'm sure you are no stranger to dedicated winter tires.

I also like the additional interior space the RL has compared to the infinities.

On a serious note, OP I am in Bedford, MA and commute between Nashua and Bedford, daily. RL fits the bill perfect for the weather we are about to get in the upcoming months. Put some snows on the OEM 17s and the car is a tank in the snow.

Timing belt isnt due till 105K ( I think) you should be fine for another 20K miles but if you want peace of mind then get all the done now along with fluid changes and a once over by your mechanic.

Acura of Boston or Peabody should have a special, $115 I believe, for a thorough pre-owned inspection. See if you can get that done before you commit to buy, this will give you an idea as to what needs immediate attention.

Check the last pages of the new owner sign in (first thread) for what people are paying these days for their RLs.

Good luck; don't make a decision based on emotions. There are other RLs out there.
