I have an 05 RL with 166k , lately I have been having very sluggish acceleration when taking off it feels like something is holding the car back, changed trans fluid and replaced spark plugs recently. Have you ever had any issues like such with yours? If so what was it?

I have a 2006 RL with 208k miles! My previous car was a 2002 Acura Tl type-S with 307k miles on it and still running! I'm a lifetime Acura owner, and I love my RL and my TL!!

I recently bought an 05 RL with 178k miles as my first real car of my own. What an absolutely lovely car, and the first owner clearly loved it too, since it's in really great condition. Only issue has been the driver's headlight flickering, but I just replaced the bulb and it totally fixed it (so glad it didn't turn into one of those replace-every-part-and-it-still-flickers horror stories I've read on here).

I Have an 05 RL with 169k and I am having the same issue with the flickering headlight. I'm almost certain it's the ballast bc the bulbs are new. Hopefully I can find a DIY for replacing the ballast.

My '05 RL is at 55275. I purchased it in 2015 with 35200 on it at a very reasonable price. I've replaced an A/C condenser and had the front shocks (only and were shot when I bought it) replaced. All work has been done at an Acura dealer. Put a new battery in it and had all the fluids exchanged after I purchased it. I also put in an iPod adapter. By far the best factory sound system I've ever heard from the early 2000's. I thoroughly enjoy driving it. I also have an S2000.

Almost 72k on my '06. Bought it with 67k in early July, its been on a few long road trips since I've had it plus daily driving. 0 issues, love the car, hope to keep it a long time.

Just picked up an 05 with 72k from the original owner. Love it!

Original owner of a 2007 RL Tech, it now has 105K and everything is working wonderfully. All maintenance is done on or ahead of schedule, always use synthetic oil and top of the line parts (e.g. K&N air filter).

These days, I only put <10K miles on it per year.

152263, Only reason I remember is because I changed the oil today and wrote it down.

205k and still running strong. I continue to get 29mpg on the highway too. Great car for sure.

My 2005 has 265,000

what iPod adapter are you using?

There is a USA Spec unit for iPod compatibility that is available for the 2G RL in the Black Market if you’re interested

I’m currently using Grom usb for my iPod touch 6th gen. Sometimes is spotty leaving me to having to reset it by disconnecting the harness that goes to the usb box. It’s a pain since I tucked it under shifter console. So I have to take cover off to reset it. No biggie but a pain. Hows the USA spec reliability?

I bought mine used in 2012 right after I bought the car. It’s been running flawlessly since day 1.
edit: what’s the connection look like on a 6th gen iPod?

It has the lightning connector, but even when used my classic iPod with 30 pin connector still was buggy.

I'm the original owner of a 2005 RL with 218K. Sadly, she is not running too good. I think it is time to retire her.

Hey guys,
I just bought a 2008 Acura RL with about 96k miles. Had to fix few things - leaky steering pump, lower control arm (used after market), transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, diff fluid (both chambers), rotors and pads, brake fluid, air filter, cabin air filter.
Oh yeah.. i also got timing belt done at a pretty good price at Anderson Honda in MD.
