Forbes writer is an idiot. This car is awesome
Nick N, Los Angeles, CA, 08/01/2016
2016 Acura RLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
First, any "Expert" that is paid to write an article about a car should have to drive one of the cars for a month, then write their opinion. This clown who was an independent writer for Forbes, says the 2016 Acura RLX is one of the worst 10 cars to buy. Seriously? A 5 Star safety rating in every category, phenomenal company (Acura makes a lemon?) incredibly smooth, quiet, has great … acceleration, is sexy, sleek, but doesn't have the perception as a racecar like a BMW ( had one, and it sucked, unless you LIKE being in the repair shop all the time), so it gets hammered before it is even proven? This Acura RLX is so fun to drive, whether a short jaunt or a multiple hour trip, it is outstanding in spite of what a non-owner tries to tell you. Expect to but it $10K under MSRP. The technology package is nice, the visibility is great, and I'd rather have a DEPENDABLE, SAFE car like this than a slightly faster BMW that will break down, or Mercedes (Turbo charged 4 cylinders are stupid if you want a car long-term) sedan unless you buy 500. Acura has a reputation as dependable and reliable, and this is still true.
Ordered My Second RLX!
Acura Enthusiast, East Setauket, NY, 12/28/2016
2016 Acura RLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
This is a very underrated car. I just ordered my second RLX after finishing a three-year lease. Initially, I was quite surprised at how much I liked this car. It has comfort, value, a killer stereo, reliability, and quality materials throughout. Unfortunately, Acura has chosen not to aggressively market this model. That's too bad, because it's a real jewel!
Hidden gem

2016 Acura RLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I’ve owned my 2016 for 5 years, 120k miles and love the car. There is a reason why all of the 5 star reviews. The ride is smooth, confident and just a pleasure to drive. My only gripe is the transmission flush needed about every 60k miles. Evidently with quick shift points it breaks the fluid down faster. Hiwevper, it’s not a big deal
BETTER THAN WHAT THEY SAY
MR. PEABODY, Las Vegas, NV, 06/29/2022
2016 Acura RLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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 :-)
