Very informative reviewed. wow this remind me of the 2005 RL with unique technology. Dave, I like to see you push this car around corners and let the SH-AWD do the work Acuras are very reliable and low cost to maintain.The information screen will also tell you if there is a problem with the car. I was involved in a crash and it told me the car had a blown fuse and my dtr light was out on the driver side. You can spend hours exploring all the great stuff these cars have to offer, such as valet mode with pin code etc.. I had a 2005 TL and put 250+k miles on it with only scheduled maintenance, and now have the last TSX. Buying Acuras is a smart decision and the V6 is sooo much fun. Lets not forget that Honda offer this technology years ago but just not in the states.

Hey Dave! Great quality and information of this RLX. I have been watching your videos ever since Alex Le Friec was apart of the program and one thing I enjoyed in your videos of the past were your honest criticisms and/or dislikes of the vehicle. I am sure there are things about every vehicle that you wish could be better. If you haven't already, I am hoping you can include your opinions on what the vehicle can improve on or dislikes of some sort in your future reviews. I find it makes for a more rounded review and would love to hear your opinions. My opinion of this is the back end design looks too mundane and similar to the Chevy Cruze! Regardless, keep up the fantastic work and reviews! Cheers from Calgary AB Canada!

Actual owner/lesee (2014 model) here. Thanks for the great review. My car returns the same mileage as yours overall. It's really very hard to keep your foot off the accelerator because of the instant torque, however. It is definitely a sleeper.

@BenFranklin997 8 жыл бұрын

+neuronbob it stinks. The hybrid powertrain disengages at 80mph, how lame. There is a reason it sells so poorly, only a fanboy would buy it at 20k off. There also was no 2015 model. What a disaster of a car based on the last generation Accord, looking like an uglier Accord marginally better than an Accord.

@neuronbob 8 жыл бұрын

+BenFranklin997 Number of issues with your statement. 1. There was a 2015 SH model in Canada, but not the U.S. The 2014s were released very late in 2014, and the Feds wouldn't let Acura call them 2015s. 2. You misunderstand what happens at 78 mph. It's complicated, so it's understandable. The electric motors controlling the rear wheels reach their maximum speed, 11k rpm, at that speed. What happens is that the computers tell the motors not to assist propulsion or to regenerate power. The motors maintain their ability to remove the torque on one side, and add to the other side, in turns. i.e., they don't add to propulsion, but do maintain the AWD system. It's really a cool (though complicated) system. 3. You are obviously not the market intended for this car. It certainly meets my needs, chief among them a fuel-efficient sedan with lots of room. The tech is pretty incredible when you take the time to understand it. 4. This car is the cheapest you can get this tech. The next cars with this sort of tech that are currently available are the Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari. I don't count the NSX because it's not released yet. 5. The only real disaster is that Acura failed to make a feature set worth the price charged until the 2016 model, and has not been at all marketing either the SH or PAWS. These cars are virtually a secret.

@BenFranklin997 8 жыл бұрын

+neuronbob 1. Acura continues to be clueless. 2. It not complicated, its boring. At 80mph, the electric motors disengage. Whats the point? 3. What does that even mean? The tech isn't even new, its old. 4. The GS 450h, 5series hybrid, Panamera E-hybrid etc all offer just as much if not more tech. What are you talking about? This car doesn't exist in a vacuum. 5. The car is a disaster. Its not luxurious. It doesn't have a great ride. It looks like an Accord. Honda obviously doesn't even think its good. The market doesn't either. Its great you enjoy your car but lets not act like the world is missing out. Its not.

@@BenFranklin997 dude you’re so stupid, it’s hard to get through your comments. You’re simply a hater. Who cares if the electric motor shuts off at 80???? It’s not an electric car-it’s a hybrid. Most hybrids shut off battery power at 25mph. Plus, who the hell is speeding past 80mph anyway? It’s rare to get the chance. And it’s not like the car shuts off.. you still have the V6…..

Very beautiful car, in terms of the concept of the design of the vehicle. I personally love it. I guess the preference of the general community is based off of its stock look, I would personally add a couple modifications to the vehicle, not over the top, but minor details. A car that I may own one day in a few years. :)

The interior is pretty cool, lots of tech for the price. For a premium car, Acura needs to step up their exterior design.

Acuras are nice but that dual-screen system is not at all user friendly. Tried to get to know one on a 2015 mdx and it's just not intuitive.. Hope they come out with something better. (Though with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, who cares 😂)

@Jia1337 8 жыл бұрын

I really hope they will remodel the next gen Acuras to be more like the NSX. Also, the UI system looks very similar to the ones on the Hondas, which is understandable since Honda is the parent company of Acura.

To update, I have a 19 MDX Sport Hybrid (+42,000 miles) and 18 RLX Sport Hybrid (28,000 miles) and it has the exact same maintenance schedule as the mechanical sh-awd Acura vehicles. The EV+I.C.E. components versus I.C.E. sh-awd require no extra servicing other than the exchanging the coolant for the EV DC inverter at 105,000 miles (same coolant as the engine).

I really wish Acura and Honda would get their exterior design game together. Fantastic technology and fuel efficiency, but the looks are either sadly boring or challenging/polarizing (I'm looking at you Civic and Type R). They (Acura) should have a renaissance and evolve like Volvo has. Instead, they're the luxury brand that everyone has to make compromises for.

I have test driven other cars in this class from BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Cadillac and Audi and none of them have what this car has. the only thing they could do to improve this car is make it so the dual screen system is more user friendly and to make it so that when using the tech you don't have to be looking at the lower monitor and using the touch screen because it makes you take your eyes off of the road.
