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..."

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.

I love my Acura RLX Hybrid. The car does 0-60 in 4.9, not 5.6 like the Edmunds review (check YouTube). Yes, the infotainment is bad, but it does everything you need it to, and I installed a wireless CarPlay system from VLine anyway. It’s incredibly comfortable and quiet, and there’s plenty of power when you feel like going a bit faster.

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 :-)

I had my first Acura in 1990- the Legend. Loved that car and since then I had own 2MDX, TSX ( I still have) and RLX from Acura brand and several Lexus including LS, IS and ES. I initially loved the RLX hybrid as it checked all the boxes I was looking for. That was short lived. It is plaques with random software issues with brakes, battery total discharge within 72 hours to 96 hours. If I leave the car at the airport, it is guaranteed to be dead by the time I come back 3 days later. At home you need a trickle charger connected just in case and also keep portable jump starter just in case. I feel like this car is always in ICU.now I have a brake problem that has voice message to pull the car over and get it towed as brakes may fail! The dealer has no clue how to fix this after multiple attempts other than saying it is probably a software issue ( probably really!). I am trying to get Acura Customer service involved and see what happens. It is extremely frustrating that I have 60k dead weight under warranty plus extended warranty on a car I don’t feel safe. I will update in couple of weeks.
