The steering system delivers an on center dullness feel. The brakes, albeit efficient, are a tad harsh. The interior layout shows good taste even if a few plastic items like the CD tray are of poor quality.
With a better equipment than the Civic and being less expensive than the Accord, the Acura EL stands as a fine choice for a driver in the market for a well-fitted car that won't pull $30,000 or more from his wallet. As a whole, that compromise car has a solid reputation and will undoubtedly please your ego.
Pros:
- Fine handling
- Improved sound proofing all through the REV range
- Fine purchase compromise
- Tastefully designed interior
Cons:
- Dullness feel in the steering system
- Brakes not efficient enough
- Poor quality of interior plastic items
