2016 Acura RLX Advance Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Overall I like the car. Had challenges with the transmission not shifting from 2nd to 3rd under heavy acceleration. Dealer, Hunt Valley Acura is Maryland is horrible. Could not fix the issue even though they could recreate it. Service Manager told me to bring back the car when the transmission completely fails. The car has a rough ride and is much noisier than expected. Was not as noticeable in Atlanta since the roads are better there than in Baltimore. Krell stereo is great and the seats are comfortable, especially on long road trips. Purchased the car due to the out the door price and expected reliability. The dealer has ruined it though and will not purchase another Acura.
BETTER THAN WHAT THEY SAY

Love driving this car!!! Been a fan since '88 legend (ie. "88 legend, 96 rlx premium, 98 rl premium, 16 rlx tech). Ride is smooth. Reliable. makes me grin when i look it. stereo is great. Good power, it'll get up when stomped. I just love this car! I know, i know, mb, lexus, genesis may be better in some categories. Had a chance to get an e350 and like the gs/ls models, however i'm sprung. Gettin' a nsx when i hit the lottery :-)

Bought this '16 RLX last Spring. Loved the color (get compliments all the time) good powetr and it makes me grim from all angles. I've driven RLs/RLXs since '88 Legend. I LOVE these cars! Some of critics have Haterade. But it is smooth, comfortable, and the engine roars on acceleration. just drive one for yourself.

This is a wonderful car- my 4th Acura (2 TSX, 1 TL) Interior surpasses anything I looked at and the technology that comes standard is exceptional. Could be a bit sharper on the outside but still gets lots of looks and certainly beats the Lexus GS. And, with the great discounting going on, would be hard to beat the value.

Purchased new RLX in 2014, what a mistake. It has had three recalls and now an engine noise has developed which Acura mechanics can not figure out. Audio tapes have been sent to Acura Engineering and they are stumped. I intend to get rid of it as soon as it comes back from shop (two weeks) Bad news trade in value is now $35,000 for a one year old car with 12,000 miles for which I paid $52,000. Go with Lexus or Infinity and save yourself trouble
