It is all electrical whitehead is pretty good and it got sun visor.
Acura is a really good reliable car it is electrical inside. A lot of spaces and good on gas. The ac works like a champ. It hardly ever gives me problems. I guess the secret is to keep up with maintenance. And it will last u more then u think. The only problem I have is that the emergency lights do not work if the battery's dead. They need to come up with a backup for that because let's say your battery dies and u have no way of showing that your broke down due to the emergency lights not working. Or anything in side the car cause it is electric. Or the trunk do not open ether when battery dies.

A great, accessible car with self driving
I love my Acura car. It not only helps me be a better driver, but it helps me enjoy driving. This car has self driving features, and a great GPS system. Very accessible, great speakers, great feeling, great alerts when changing lanes. No complaints about this car, would recommend this car to anyone looking to invest in a lifelong car.

Vehicle is equipped with proper safety features.
Low to the ground. Not enough leg room in the back. Needs more comfort when driving on long trips. Would like more storage space.

The vehicle can barely drive and barely have air condition. However it can further well even tho I got a permit.

Acura: worst car possibly in the world. 1. ) Breaks faster than an iPhone.
Runs too slow, breaks easily like an iPhone. Cannot really do much with this car but probably sell it or give it away to a close buddy of mine. And that's really it. Besides the air conditioning from the car which is still broken since I got it. Acura what a joke. .

It has a low mileage and it is in a good conditions for few more years.
I love the fact that I can use my car for traveling from home to school. However, my vehicle is an old fashion, make noises when accelerating and used up a lot of gas.

The car drives and handles well, if you're looking for a little bit of luxury this is the car for you
The care is a smooth drive for sure. However it is not very economical or green. The transmission has been known to have issues and not just mine
accountCircle Peyton U
Very small but just right for me. Very compact.
The air conditioning works really well. I love all the features and details inside of the care as well. The seats are extremely comfortable considering I have back problems. I have never complained about my back from just simply sitting in my car. I love everything about it!
