Check the RLX Hybrid in detail against any other car in its class before buying. You will be very impressed. Accord has suffered from a very bad marketing team resulting in lax market recognition of this magnificent vehicle.

Overall very satisfied with this purchase. Currently at 29k miles. No major glitches. Controls are intuitive and easy to master. However, Playing XM stations are glitchy and very slow to load, for scrolling; as are obtaining music from your USB FlashDrive. Push Button shifting, especially reverse, is slow to engage (1+ sec) on press of accelerator. Hybrid system is absolutely awesome, but comes with sacrifice of trunk space. Engine is very quiet when switching between electric motors and engine running; transfers between each completely unnoticed except for the RPM needle moving, ......this hybrid is much different than those gas saving German models which "die" at a stop sign, then restart. Very comfortable and rides well. Power distribution lives up to the "rides on rails" marketing motto. Controls are within ergonomic arm reach, very well thought out. Remains a comfortable and joy to drive. Sport mode is a definite power boost with intelligent tranny reset Would definitely buy again, and recommend.

Great car only thing i did not like was trade in value on my last car. Comfortable, great handling ,powerful ,reliable,great gas mileage! Bought the Hybrid and get great gas mileage in the city and highway. Have driven the car for over four years and am still quite impressed.Greatly that Acura discontinued this model. I am still driving this car and have no plans to trade it!

After driving this car for a while now, I have concluded that this review by Edmunds.com was to say the least HARSH ... with the commentary included here I can find at least 80% of ALL cars they provide reviews where they over-glorified some of the Korean made cars without any common sense or expertise applied - I simply do not agree with their review. I will agree on following however: MSRP was way too high - too overpriced (62k-65k is just beyond any sense) Infotainment is pretty non-intuitive and half-baked The Interior is fairly dated The drive is AMAZING given SH-AWD. They are forgetting this car weighs over 4000lbs... As far as specs go, you will be paying for a german similar spec'd car over 65-70-75k and will still have headaches whenever car needs to go to the shop - germans are NOT reliable cars... they are a society statement "I have money, and I can afford it..."
