Prior to owning the RLX Hybrid I owned an A6 4.2 and an M35X both great cars but not comparable to the Acura. The Acura is a dream to drive and is super quiet, extremely fun to drive and the exeleration is amazing. Plus the gas mileage is amazing, and I like being eco friendly. The tech is great and the safety features are incredible. I won’t be shopping for another car for a little while but when I do it will be another RLX sport hybrid. *** update its 2019 and I’m still in love with this car. In 2022 I’m still delighted with the car. Its performance is unparalleled and truly exhilarating. The reliability has be stellar and I get 30 mpg due to the hybrid engine. I’m truly sad Acura discontinued the vehicle. I will struggle when it’s time ti replace the car.

Traded in a 2012 Acura TL . The 2017 Acura RLX is just a perfect Car. It is quiet has a lot of power and a great car for the price. Tested a Lexus GS350 but the Acura RLX is much better.

Entertainment system may not be intuitive or showy but it works really well when you get used to it and the sound is awesome! Same for navigation - not showy but it does the job. The driving aids (lane keeping etc.) and ride are outstanding, and it is fast when you want it to be. Excellent value but I bought it because I liked it better than the Audi S5 I was considering. Great car for mid-west mixed driving. Way under-rated model.

Not perfect, but plenty good enough

Traded 2015 RLX w/ 95k, for 2018 SH-AWD w/ 35k. AWD was the draw, plus the HUGE depreciation hit on the '18. Techo wizardry, you can take it or leave it. Great seats for long rides. Acceleration good, put in Sport to really put a smile on your face. Only Toyota can match Honda/Acura reliability - had zero issues in 4 years with the '15 RLX, expect the same experience here.

I am on my 3 Rd rlx .recently got the 2020. I was hoping a 2021 would arrive but Acura discontinued the rlx.the rlx had a CD player.other cars do not.it takes too long to Put cd into computor then on a flash drive then into car. The car handles great and is very comfy. I do wish the infotainment was more modern .the Navi system is a little redundant asking to confirm things. overall a great car.
