Very reliable and comfortable.

The vehicle is in general a very good car. I was able to attach a trailer hitch to the back of the car, which made it great for when the family went to go biking. I think that the car is very reliable and has not broken done yet. I also think that the car interior is very comfortable.

I feel really comfortable with my car, and it is performance and features just awesome. I have no problem with it is. But, it is 2020 and my car model is 2016, who is four years (4 years) old versions. But it still give me very good performance. Which has no different to feel me.

2016 Acura rlx personal review with number one reason for disliking the vehicle.

The car is AWD, so with that being side the rear end is built to allow the wheels to turn a bit following the front but with very minimal range of motion in the rear. Well, because of this it always feels as if the rear and is sliding back and forth. The ride is very bumpy. Other than that it is a great car.

Christopher K

It is quite luxurious at a reasonable price.

This is a great car with good pick up nice handling. The interior is quiet and comfortable. One of my few complaints is that the electronics package is not very intuitive and the climate controls are a bit of a pain. You have to jump through hoops to get in and out of settings and change things like fan speed. The only other issue is that the turning radius is rather wide which can be a problem at times.

Pros from Owners

Anna H.

I love this vehicle because it drives very smooth and it a very luxurious car. The engine sounds clean and steady and the gas mileage is amazing! The safety features are a huge help to me and I find it a great car to take on road trips. I enjoy the sound system and clean sounding radio. It is a fun car to drive and I love to take my friends for drives as well. This car is spacious and allows for me to carry everything I need in the car with me.

Cons from Owners

Anna H.

This vehicle is hard to find cons in but one thing I dislike about this car is that it is not exactly a very interesting car to look at. It does not have any showy features on the outside and looks a little bit bland. There is definitely more room in the front seats rather than in the back seats and for tall people that is an issue. Head room is pretty limited in the back.
