The 2002 RL looked the same on the outside, but had a few surprises under the hood. Its 3.5-liter V6 engine was tuned to provide 15 extra horses. Horsepower was up to 225, and torque was up to 231 lb-ft (from 224). OnStar was now standard on the RL.
The 2002 RL requires premium fuel, and gets 18 city/24 highway mileage. The only available transmission is a 4-speed automatic overdrive. Exterior changes include a painted lower trim and redesigned wheels.
Drivers of the 2002 RL dislike the in-trunk CD changer, preferring that it be in-dash. Although repairs are relatively rare, they tend to be expensive when they do occur. Most reviewers tend to like the solid handling, tight suspension, and quiet ride.
What owners say
Good car for the family or one person looking for sporty but also luxury. Sound system is awesome and the ride is very smooth. The 225HP V6 is quite powerful and off the line quick. No problem with reaching top-end needs either. Great value, lot of car for the money. Honda Motor Company endurance and known for long lasting automobiles.
July 15, 2012this is the best car Acura makes. It is a little sporty for me but overall A great car. It has a big v-6 engine so gas mileage is not great but it Is a very comfortable car and only has 67000 miles on it
