Is Acura More Reliable Than Lexus?

It's the great Acura vs Lexus reliability battle where I let you know whether or not there is any luxury car brand that can stand up against Lexus. We're talking reliability, which means ownership costs or maintenance costs, depreciation, and just how much fun one of these Acura or Lexus cars are to own.
Where we believe that Life's Too Short To Drive Boring Cars so we just don't and you shouldn't either.

* Get this!....... I just took my 450h+ "F' Sport to LEXUS to R&R the Oil and Filter ( even though I never (except to keep fluids fresh / circulate) HOWEVER rarely ever use gas..... use the ICE exclusively as I get 49 miles per 120 volt plug-in for an EXTREMELY Quiet drive. Price for oil and filter was $73.00 YEP $73.00 try that on your Euro, AND GET THIS, Lexus filled my gas tank........For most, they would be thrilled HOWEVER being I almost never buy gas...and keep my tank @ 1/4 to save weight in Vehicle & I put "Stabil in gas....Well you guessed it, I was upset as Now I must carry around all that extra weight........as I only use Plug-In.......PQQR me!

I have noticed that when an Acura or Honda goes down my street, they are usually a lot quieter than a Toyota. I find that engines that are getting premium fuel are quieter than those getting regular. And if you run regular in a vehicle that is supposed to get premium, it sounds like a sherman tank.

As some that works on Lexus cars for a living Lexus IS way better to work on and reliable. We got a few used car trade in Acura and I would say out of the 12 we got 6 had issues and MDX had a issue where it kept starting for no reason and the alarm kept going off and the hood latch sensor was broken or whatever you call it.

I would agree with you 100% on your analysis.👌One of the weakest points in Honda / Acura is their Transmissions especially when they get some miles on them. That carbon buildup was the main issue I have really noted with a Lexus.. Toyota corrected that issue when they started incorporating direct fuel injection and port fuel injection . Those engines are very reliable now and the engines really stay clean. Henceforth IMPROVED Dynamic Forced Engines They are used and a lot of new Toyotas as well as hybrids with various electric motors.

Absolutely true, the engines are now almost bulletproof, thus making them reliable as can be.

The other thing I look at is resale value. In my experience, Acura does not seem to hold as well as Lexus. My wife drives a 2020 RDX A-Spec. AWD system is amazing. The one area needing improvement is the brakes. Squeak a lot and when they are wet, they moan a little more. Dealer says they’re fine. I don’t know. 😜
