Acura RLX 2014-2015Change

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.

Do not buy this car. Look at BMW 5 or Lexus or Mercedes E class instead of wasting your money on this.

This is a very comfortable car to drive and at the same time, the performance of the motor and suspension are impressive when set in sport mode. The car looks upscale but in an unstated manner while the interior is truly luxurious and the Krell stereo is stunning. Last but not least - fuel consumption is very reasonable especially on the highway. My most recent 350 km road trip cost $35.00 for premium.
