Hello, Jason. I have been reading up on my Acura these days, and I think I can answer your question for you. As you most probably already know, the Acura RL is the Acura version of an executive-class car. Although the model has been around for years, it has gone through several changes. For the model year you want, I am sure that you will be excited enough to drive one.
First, we will go with the engine. The Acura RL of today boasts of a 3.7 Liter VTEC engine and even has SH-AWD, which is Acura’s take on the all-wheel drive system. This increases the car’s versatility on different road conditions. Even with that power on the engine, Acura made it possible to reduce emissions further. The paddle shift system in use with the Acura RL was also improved to reduce shifting time, and this should give the feel of immediate response from the car. The suspension has also been improved to give the Acura TL better handling. You should also notice that the 17” wheels from the previous model year were replaced with 18” alloy wheels. Passenger space was also given consideration and got a corresponding improvement along with noise reduction inside the cabin. Of course, being executive-class, you should have an executive feel inside the car. One more thing, with the noise reduction inside the cabin, you get to experience the awesome sound system on the Acura RL.
I guess those points should be enough and the rest should be part of your discovery when you get to test drive one around Texas.

If you think the Acura RSX might be the best the car for you, you should make sure you know as much about the car as you can find out before you hit the lots. Here are a few things about the Acura RSX, but you can also have your own research as well so that you know everything about the car. This is the most important thing for you before you go out and make that purchase. Probably the best bet is to check out the S type of the Acura RSX.
The Acura RSX is a high performance coupe which comes in S type. It presents a 210 hp 2-liter engine, 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission, modified suspension and brakes, quick-ratio variable rack & pinion steering, upgraded tires, leather interior also comes with an air conditioning unit and a 7-speaker Bose sound system when you purchase a brand new. Physical inspection of the car shows that its units smaller people. Up front, you will probably find the most comfort. The seats of the Acura RSX S Type are commendable as comfortable, not racer-tight but with more than suitable grip. The steering wheel is placed very well, small, and wrapped with leather. The gear lever falls right to hand and has efficiently been placed with care. Also, everything looks fantastic, with typical Acura ergonomics. One weakness would be that the numbers on many of the instruments in the Acura RSX are small and the indicators on the air controls are not really easy to read. The round air and heat vents are controlled with small clamshell-shaped doors that allow them to almost vanish when closed.The Acura RSX is casually elegant, but it needs a little faux titanium and chrome to dress things up.
In addition, as you search for more information on the Acura RSX, you will find that there is even more to it. It is a safe car with a number of standard air bag and brake features that adds to the practical appeal. As search for the best car for you, and if you believe that such a sedan at these prices are affordable for you, then you can give the Acura RSX a chance. Do your research and visit an Acura dealer in Houston Texas to take a test drive and see that everything you have read and I had said about this sports sedan is true and find it reasonable why the Acura RSX is the right car for you to consider for your next new car purchase.
