Marks, I see you have a very, very, low serial number for your RL. Mine too is low, 570 matter of fact, and it appears that the assemblers did an outstanding job on putting this ride together. I've not experienced a single complaint or problem when it comes to "fit & finish"! What has your experience been thus far?

 

I actually have not picked up the car yet. I received the bill of sale Friday. I am trading my '03 TL-S. My plans are to collect the car on Wednesday.

My experiences with Hondas and Acuras has been quite favourable. I have had a wide array of these vehicles and I love them. The one thing that I appreciate is that since their vehicles are essentially Japanese designed, a short guy fits the cars quite well.

I also have a 2002 Honda S2000 as well as a 2003 Pilot. They have both been great. The S2k only has 13,000 km on it, so it's barely broken in. The Pilot is actually our 2nd Pilot. It has been incredible.

I am looking forward to getting the RL. I even purchased some DVD audio discs in anticipation. Unfortunately, we don't get the XM radio option in Canada due to our version of the FCC, which is called the CRTC. I wonder if the Canadian RL's have the same number sequence as the US RL's because mine just got off the boat last week.

Have you owned other Honda products?

My RL became the fourth vehicle that I have owned that was built by Honda. I have nothing but praise for these wonderful vehicles. I traded my MY04 S2000 and MY04 TL for the 2005 RL. My life demanded it; with all of the traveling and general time spent in my car. I do miss my S2000. But I haven't the time to really enjoy it like I deserve.

The RL is an amazing vehicle. I love everything about this car...I keep finding new techno-bits that make me want to rush to my car and play around.

You have to post how the ventilated/heated seats feel. Us "U.S." buyer's only receive the heat function

Enjoy!
