The perfect car for a leisuring person who wants a smooth comfy car.
My Acura is lovely, I do not find any problems with it and it is working perfectly fine after 2 years driving about 4-5 hours each day. The seats are super comfy and the wheel is nice and smooth perfect for my hands! I think it should last at least another 3 years!

Fit vehicle with compact parking and great gas mileage.
The color custom purchased new and automobile delivered to my property. Features 8 air. Bags nitrate tire pressure seats fold down if I need extra cargo and lots of front and back legroom. Any car seats easily installed according to safety feature/instruction of automobiles safety procedures. Have navigation, built in sensor and camera. The automobile ride is smooth and gas miles is economic.

Smooth ride when on road. Sunroof brings in fresh air. The car will last long.
The care is actually pretty good, performance wise. It does not require a lot of gas per mile. They last long, they are built to last. The rlx is spacious and I have no difficulty getting in and out of the car. Thus car features Bluetooth capabilities, has a sunroof and the sound system is plush considering the fact that it is a base model.
accountCircle Norma D
An interesting detail of my car is the interior of the car.
Very comfortable and smooth ride. I love the fact that it is a reliable car and it is also a good size. Very family friendly. I have a family of four and we all fit in the car very comfortably. The details on the inside and outside of the car are amazing.

Go auto, you will not regret the decision.
My Acura rlx is truly a luxurious sports car. It is very affordable but expensive enough that you know you will be getting your moneys worth. Everything comes automatic as the most basic package. The colors you can choose from are fantastic, as well, both interior and exterior. I would have preferred to have the car with a manual transmission but they are a bit trickier to find so I went with the automatic. I do not feel like the performance has suffered at all.
