TL and RL

Both are awesome cars. My TL is a little more sporty, but I found the RL to be a great drive as well. The RL is quieter, but it handles great. The RL is bigger than my TL. The navigation system on the RL is a dream! Again, both cars are awesome, and there's nothing more exciting than an Acura family.

BTW, does it snow in Georgia. Me and the wife are thinking about moving south, home prices here are insane and I am sick of snow. Maybe Tampa Fl. or somewhere in Georgia. Do you like it down there.

That's in FL., but I attend university in Atlanta. It does snow occasionally. In the past 3 years I've been here, it has snowed I think two winters. We do get ice though. I love it here. The people are nice, but I do miss the water in FL. haha.

I like the RL in RRP.

I am curious if you find the interior of the RL assembled a little tighter than the TL? Fewer ticks, creaks, buzzes or rattles? My TL is not bad as some report, but I admit I expected a 'tighter' interior assembly from Acura. It easily waters down the perception of 'precision engineering'.

Would be nice to have both in the garage. One for more more spirited days. One for the more leisurely days. OK all...now stop laughing!

Haha...I like your thinking. Overall, the RL seems to be assembled with more precision than my TL. The doors on the RL are very heavy. Everyone that has opened them thought they were doors from a German car. As far as the interior, there aren't any rattles, but then again, it is new. However, going over bumps and potholes, the structure seems more solid than my TL's. I have some rattles now on my TL, and I've had it for about 13K miles. However, despite the TL's shortcomings, I still love driving it everyday. Both are nice cars...the RL is just a little more refined and classy.

Nice garage full of Acuras!!

Please take some more pics of the RL. It looks good in RRP and it is a rare color for the RL.

yeah. RLs ae very nice. After I bought the TL, my neighbor bought an RL. And after reseacrhing it a little more I kind of kicked myself for not getting the RL myself.
