Purchased As New
This is not my car but my brothers. I like it a lot, however, there is one big flaw and that is that the interior is pretty small. Upfront, it is a little claustrophobic. In the back, even more so, and there is room for two passengers only and not that much either. Note, there is a big transmission hump, so 5 passengers is almost impossible. The best way to think of this is as a sporty 2 + 2.
One thing I do like is the AWD system which is very sophisticated. You can achieve impressive acceleration in terrible traction situations. This car can get through bad weather in ways not possible with an Accord or Civic and feels very solid and sure. Not sure this is everyone's priority, but if you have to occassionally drive on a horse farm or pasture, or up a mountain drive etc it really makes a huge difference. There are not that many luxury sedans that have the same combination of power and drivetrain. Other cars offer 4 wd but do not put the power down as well as the RL.
So, this is definitely not a car for limo service but instead the ultimate executive "got to get there now" car.
