Tedanne,
What made you reached a conclusion that Auto Dealers can not equally be Auto expert?
You seek an advice on a certain issue but restricting who can make an input is what i can not understand.
Your choice though.
Best of Luck.

my mistake then.sorry for underestimating/misjudging the inputs/opinion of the auto dealers.though some auto dealer will want to paint a good pix of an item just to make sales.pls ANY useful info will do.thanks for the correction

A suppose Auto expert too could give his own myopic opinion too which might not mean the best.
Lets everyone give theirs then you deduce the best from them all.
Pray a Siena comes on your thread and you would be the best for it

The Acura 2.5TL is a little smaller than the big brother 3.5RL. The TL is considered a mid-sized luxury car while the RL is considered a full sized luxury car. The TL has a 5 plug engine while the TL is 6 plugs.

From the maintenance standpoint, you will save a little choosing the TL. Acuras are well known for their reliability. Either one you go with is an excellent choice. The 3.5RL might have few more buttons for you to push. More luxurious.

Be warned though, since the 3.5 is larger in size and engine, you will get less travel on a gallon of petrol. And just make sure that you keep up the car as far as service and oil change is concerned.

Go for the best one your money can afford. And enjoy the ride.

Just my own 2 cents . . . . Added to what Chief Kunle already said.

1. They are both great ride and drives like a real machine.
RL replaces the Acura Legend in 1996, and since then, they have never looked back with that ride . . . . . .
With RL, you have 6 plugs to change, while you have less in TL
RL will drink more gas while TL will drink less.
RL has a bigger engine and will take more engine oil during servicing
RL has heavier body to carry and will need more gas.

So with all these, the difference can be much at all, except for the gas part.

But driving luxury comes with a price, so if you can afford the price tag, enjoy the luxury, however, like Kunle said, make sure you do your regular maintenance.

Good luck
