Ordered My Second RLX!

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!

RLX Understated Value

This car is a understated value, Had a BMW prior to buying this car. This car is a lot quieter, rides better/smoother, has better visibility, and interior materials. The BMW hype is just that! I love this Acura RLX Advanced.

Hidden gem

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

Not perfect, but plenty good enough

2018 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid 7AM)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

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.

Rlx time

That one , 02/23/2021
2018 Acura RLX P-AWS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 10A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

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.
