For this month's issue of Car and Driver, they had an RL for their long term test (40k miles). The car had some issues - moonroof wouldn't close, mulitple squeaks and rattles, the nav system kept rebooting itself, and the power windows and mirrors shorted out twice. They liked the car over all, but it spent more time at the dealers service department than I would guess most Hondas and Acuras (not to mention some part it needed took over 2 weeks to get from Japan).

I'm guessing since it's Honda's most advanced and complex vehicle, the kinks had to be worked out (it was an '05, so first full model year of production).
