Audi A6 -- middle of the road, but aggressively so. - San Francisco Chronicle
30.01.09
The A6 slots itself in the fiercely fought-over turf owned mainly by BMW's five-series, Mercedes-Benz's E-class and the Lexus ES series, along with a bunch of others, such as Acura RL, Hyundai's new Genesis and Cadillac CTS. A supercharged engine The big news for the A6 this year is the engine -- it's supercharged. Audi, in one incarnation eons ago when it was known as Auto Union, had 12-cylinder and 16-cylinder supercharged racing engines, so this is in their blood. The new engine for the A6 is a 3-liter V6 pumping out 300 horses. On acceleration, it's quite fast -- Audi says less than six seconds for zero to 60 -- and they've managed to tune the exhaust to a reasonable facsimile of a growl. Creature comforts are what you'd expect of a car like this -- all mod cons, sometimes a bit too mod. Our tester had rain sensing wipers, which presuppose wet windshields and what to do about them. The end result is that you may get sprinkles on the windshield but the rain sensing gizmo doesn't want to go to work until it is quite ready. Sometimes, this can go on until you can't see out of the window any more and you flick the wipers onto the old-fashioned method. Which means they stay on. Flap-flap.

Should I buy a 1996 Acura RL or 2000 Honda Accord LX?
Aug 14, 2007 by juan h | Posted in Buying & Selling
Hi,
I am unsure about what car I should buy. I saw a 1996 Acura Rl premium edition. It has 83500 miles on it and is in excellent condition. The 2000 Honda Accord LX has 73,000 miles but does not have all the options like the Acura and is in good condition.
Which car do you think is more reliable?
Please let answer.
Thanks!
I would go with the Accord. Both are built by Honda and will have similar reliability records but the Accord is 4 years newer and 10k fewer miles. Also, and I am not familiar with the older Acuras but many of the newer ones require premium gas whereas the Accord will require only regular.
Of course, another BIG factor is if either of them have maintenance records. This would show just how the car was taken care of, which can tell you a lot.

How many miles an ACURA RL good for...?
Dec 19, 2007 by getupkeepmovin | Posted in Acura
I am thinking about trading my Acura rl in for another car,but I like the fact that it is paid off. It has 115,000 miles on it. Does anyone know how many miles you can drive these cars without having to replace everything. I would like a reliable car for the next couple of years. What things will I be expecting to replace in the next few miles?
On my opinion, if your car is paid off ride it to the ground. So you can get the most of it. A trade in is always bad. If I get 15 years out of one car and I drive it to the car crusher, I can say happy that I got my money worth on it. Just drive it, perform maintenance like it says on the book, do not abuse it and will last you perhaps another 100,000 I have GMs over 100,000 easily. Most cars these days can last you that long even more, with proper care.
