LIKES: THIS IS MY FOURTH ACURA, EACH OF which has been bulletproof reliable. I love the sound of the 260-hp V6. Dislikes: This car would be great with a five-speed manual. The auto-stick is finicky on second-to-third upshifts. It is fast, but not really tossable.
WILLIAM F. WESTADT, Lewiston, N.Y.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE FEATURES IS WHEN you put the car in reverse, the passenger-side mirror tilts down so you can see the curb for parallel parking. I also like the convenient, easily accessible cupholders, and the six-disc in-dash player makes CD swapping while driving a thing of the past. The ride is firm. You'll notice bumps on the road. But it's not that bad.
DOUG HANSON, Denver
I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW FAST THIS CAR IS. The handling is exceptional and though the ride is firm, it is not harsh. The car feels as solid as my 1996 RL and is actually quieter. The five-speed auto is very smooth and the sport shift mode is a blast.
Complaints: The sport seat lacks lower side bolsters on the bottom pad, and the black plastic ``wood'' is hideous. Also, the steering wheel should be the size of the RL's and have the electric telescope and tilt feature.
