Default 98 - 99 Rl

Hello,

I currently own a Vigor and have been very happy with my Acura. I am thinking of moving into a 99 ish RL and would greatly appreciate any feedback as far as how the vehicle is mechanically and if there is anything RL specific I should watch for when looking. A few things I would like to know:
does the RL has an interference motor ?
How do the interiors hold up? I tend to be a little rough on leather (it will be a work vehicle)
Any significant recalls?
Overall satisfation after a few years of driving as far as dependability.

I appreciate any replies, Thank you for the assistance.

I drove 96, 97, 98 & 99 model RL's.
97 is by far the smoothest. Overall RL is well built but its a luxry sedan, Not a sports sedan. The pickup is slow which is expected as car weights about 4000lbs.
If you want sporty go for TL, but I like my RL's quite smooth ride, though Gas milage sucks I get 21mpg on hw

The left side lower panel of the driver's seat (by the seat control switches) tends to break off.
