This is a nice review for the 'real world' commuting driver. It does draw conclusions based on the metrics of grip, acceleration, braking or cylinders. It draws conclusions by driving experience, as most drivers would. It is also comprehensive on features and content for those people who look at an automobile as more than a road performance machine.

I can agree 100% with the comments the the RL is pleasurable even in rush hour traffic. This is the 1st vehicle I have owned where I appreciate the 'extra' time rush hour often requires. This is one of those impressions I reached only after owning and driving it awhile.

That's the enigma of this car. You truly have to "live with it" for a while before you truly appreciate it. It doesn't immediately jump out at you.

This is the first car I've owned in a long time where I love it more over a year later than I even did when I first purchased it.

I cannot say the same for my TL, or Land Cruiser. I didn't/don't dislike those vehicles, but my appreciation for them didn't increase over time.

Um, yes?

(mod hat on) the combination of the letters c f m, when together, is filtered by the forum software for reasons important to the admins. Unfortunately, when a webpage has this as the suffix...well, the workaround is above. (mod hat off)

I travel 35+miles each way and sometimes with some good amount of traffic. The RL is a great car for commuting. I never have an issue with acceleration, stopping and most of all maneuvering in and out of lanes. Simply awesome and the seats are amazing.

I would rate it an excellent commuter car! I'm driving it about 95 miles per day right now and loving every mile.
