2013 Acura RLX - The build quality is excellent.
The Acura RLX is an executive car manufactured by Honda and sold under their Acura division, released in 2013. Succeeding the Acura RL, the RLX offers two versions, a front-wheel drive base model equipped with Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) four-wheel steering system, and a hybrid variant featuring SH-AWD that serves as Acura's flagship. However in Honda Legend, front-wheel drive is not offered.
Historia
The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is like the old story. If you consider the fact that it is one of the most evolved cars at Acura and in the whole industry. It is Acura's the top of the line vehicle, at least until the Acura NSX.
A Favor
Elegant styling. It is evident that Acura worked hard to enhance the appearance of the 2016 Acura RLX. The sedan does not have any over-the-top styling cues. Onlookers will immediately notice the RLX’s beautiful LED headlights. All models come standard with a set of 19-inch wheels. Prospective buyers can also choose from six exciting colors, including Graphite Luster and Pomegranate. Proven engine. The Acura RLX’s 3.5-liter, V-6 engine has proven itself to be an outstanding performer. Acura has tuned the engine to pump out a thrilling 310 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque. With this ...

En Contra
Standard model doesn’t offer AWD. In order to get an all-wheel-drive system, buyers will have to opt for the hybrid model. The hybrid version costs at least $10,000 more than the standard model. No manual gearbox. The Acura RLX will not be available with a stick-shift transmission. Some driving enthusiasts may be disappointed. Slightly expensive. Prices for the Acura RLX start at around $51,000. This is quite a bit more expensive than some American-made luxury sedans.
2018 Acura RLX - Good
I was very surprised when I test drove the RLX as most of the reviews by the 'experts' were average at best. It is a perfect fit for me. Bigger inside than my TL and the Lexus 350.
Historia
I really enjoy driving it.
A Favor
Lots of room in the back seat. The control panel is much more intuitive than my TL. The ride is plenty smooth, the transmission feels great shifting in all gears, A/C is perfect. I really enjoy driving it. I leased it and did not know until I was handed the keys it comes with a great Roadside Assistance Pkg. It basically covers everything.
2013 Acura RLX - Great car with good attributes
I think it's an excellent choice for an SUV and a luxury vehicle. I would love to be able to afford one. The fold-down seats...you don't have to even fold down. They fold down with just a push of a button. I test drove several and I mean several and this was bar-none the best car on the market for the money.
Historia
I used it to go to a basketball game in the stadium. We had to drive a few hours and we were comfy.
A Favor
It runs and shifts smoothly with only an occasional hiccup in the transmission when it appears to get confused. For whatever reason, Honda just refuses to fully engage and commit to the luxury car market with Acura. They are nice cars, but I don't consider them much different that a less expensive Honda. For the money that they ask for, better cars can be had.
En Contra
I pretty much like the Honda stuff and this vehicle is no exception. The problems that I have with the RDX are relatively minor. The fit between the front bumper and front fenders are terrible as well as the fit between the hood and the top of the fenders, uneven gaps and problems lining up. If you have the front widows rolled partially down, they rattle when closing the doors. Very unhappy with the NAV system. It never responds to voice commands and is very quirky as well as the maps are very antiquated looking. A bit tight inside the cabin as well as very little storage space, and the fu... (more)
