The comfort of the interior is my favorite thing.
It is great. It has never been to the shop even once. Great mileage. It is incredibly comfortable to drive. The seats are more comfortable than any I have ever seen. The performance speed is superb. It movies so silently and quickly. I have never been more pleased with a car. It has everything in the world on it - GPS, etc. And a great sound system, too.

Very smooth ride and great on gas.
It is a very smooth ride. Very reliable and has never been in the shop. Very fast and great on gas. Great warranty comes with my Acura. Tons of room for families. Great for traveling because it is so comfortable. Great pricing and tons of options. Highly recommended.

I particularly enjoy the 'walk-away' locking/unlocking feature.
There have been no problems with my car in the first 11,000 miles. It is very comfortable, has a quiet cabin and performs very well. The mileage in all city driving is currently 31.8 MPG. It has all the luxury and safety features I want in a car including the Krell audio systems that produces the best sound I've ever heard in a car.

This car has lots of room and is easy to clean.
I absolutely love my car and think that if you are looking for a car that this is a really good one. I have had no problems with it so far and I am glad I bought it. If you are looking for a car for a teenager this is not the car, this car is more for adults.

Amazing Acura: recommended for anyone in their twenties.
Nice seats. It drives pretty well but need more gas mileage. Nice wheels and steering. The performance is pretty good and it is reliable and have updated features. Comes with voice control, seat warmers, leather steering, touch screen and cup holders. Adapter for chargers and aux as well.

Outdated tech, drives like a boat.
Outdated tech, large turning radius, and less then stellar mpg. And resale, local Acura dealer won't even take it back as a trade (when I tried to bail out of it for an Audi!). The boat, the whale, just some of the nick names we use for how it drives. The infotainment center is clunky and very hard to use, and lacks many of today's features and graphic resolution. Bought it sight unseen due to previous experience with RL's (10 plus years ago) and was dissapointed the minute I set foot in it. Take a closer look at Audi A6 and BMW 5 series before buying. Will be purchasing an Audi if I can ever find someone to take the RLX on trade.
