The average RL owner is too old to use the Internet.

I'm an RL owner. I got my new RL back in 99 (Naples Gold Metallic) when I was 28. I don't think I'm too old to own one. Its not just for 50+ year old people. Its looks classy not like bubble mobiles that Lexus makes.

The ride is awesome. Its much more comfortable than my dad's 99 Acura TL and smoother than my sister's 2002 BMW 530i.

I also keep a 97 NSX-T (Spa Yellow) for my weekend car.

I think the car has just enough power and doesn't really need a V8. The greasy michelins that it comes doesn't grip well anyways. Press too hard on the gas and the tires squeal like a baby and the TCS kicks in.

I switched to Yokohama AVS dbs and now the car grips like a leech. TCS doesn't kick in except in heavy rain or snow now.

Dealer told me that I was the youngest RL owner they've ever sold to. I think there was someone else on Edmunds that wanted to buy an RL and he was 27 so I guess I'm not the youngest.

I want an RL · Nov 6, 2002

I want one

EKY · Nov 6, 2002

I'm and RL owner and I'm no where the average age of owners which is 51. I always get teased(jokingly), that I'm an old fut. I just turned 22 recently.

What first captured my attention with Acura was it's styling with the Legend. I believe I was 15 at the time, and when I graduated from High School I purchased a used '95 LS coupe. I then veered away from Acura and purchased a Supra TT, but got drawn back into Acura again in which I purchased a '97 3.5RL. I've since upgraded to a '99 and can't wait for the next generation to be unveiled. Hopefully the new model will surpass that of it's would be predecessor(current KA9 model). The release date for the next generation is religiously being pushed back, so I hear. I've heard '03 a while back, then '04, in which I now hear it's '05.

Current '99

My previous '97

I am a RL owner I have a 98' with a two pump four dump hyraulic setup so TV's (10) 19" sinster shadow star II an intake and full pipe soon to have billet grilles.

EKY I was wondering were you purchased the headlights with the black inners.

EKY · Nov 17, 2002

Juiced_RL.... I did the headlight housing project myself. It took some time and patience .. but I liked how it turned out. Let me know if you need help. And where'd you gonna get the billet grilles??...do they make it for the '99?

jime · Nov 21, 2002

I have had mine for two years - great car, but it will never be a Legend!

WilliamT, nice, very nice. is that the NSX? what year is it?

WilliamT · Nov 27, 2002

Yes. Its a 97 NSX-T. I have about 14k miles on it now. It makes a great weekend car. Very cheap to maintain. I just wish I had more time to drive it.

Where are the RL owners?
