Harbourcat Excellent value and reliability December 18, 2020
Overall Score
This is Acura's flagship. The RLX has Honda reliability and low maintenance costs that are much lower than many ordinary brands. It is on par with many of the luxury brands but may not have the same name recognition. Some early models had comments about the suspension but there was a service bulletin that retuned it and installed different shocks. With this service the car rides like you would expect from a luxury car, with descent handling due to the all wheel steering. The engine is powerful at 310 hp but gets great highway mileage due to its cylinder deactivation feature that drops to 3 from 6 when cruising at highway speeds. The infotainment system is easy to use and there are many choices including Bluetooth from your phone, satellite radio and even a hard drive to store all you CDs on. Attention to detail is excellent inside with soft and durable leather seats and intuitive controls. These cars are a bargain and will prove to be very comfortable and durable.

On certain vehicles, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) could unexpectedly activate while operating the vehicle. In rare cases, the system may interpret certain roadside objects, such as metal fences or metal guardrails, as obstacles and apply emergency braking through the CMBS. If the CMBS applies unexpected emergency braking force during normal operation, it could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the vehicle sofware for the system.
