New to this site! I just bought a used '14 Sport Hybrid #78!

What a great wealth of information on this forum. thank you to all who contribute.

3rd week with my SH-AWD........what a great car! I can believe the negative things I heard about the RLX.

I'm thoroughly impressed with almost everything about it, & I am coming from a 2007 BMW 750Li which I LOVED for almost 6 years.

I hope to contribute as much as I can, but you guys have a 2-3 year start on me!

Welcome to the family Kbinspections!! There is a lot to love about the Sport Hybrid. I wish you many, many trouble- free, smile inducing years.

Welcome to AZ, and welcome to the exclusive club of fewer than 500 RLX Sport Hybrid owners! We'll teach you the secret handshake later.

You got a Tech for a stellar price (new Accord Touring money)!

Enjoy!

Thanks to all!

2 hour drive from Long Island and 4 hours of negotiation! I thought I did OK.

18,700 miles, owner of the dealership drove it about 9,000 miles. Originally sold as a corporate car for an executive in Cali.

Just ordered all weather mats and mud guards.

Winter can be rough here so I will buy the spare tire kit soon, I did get the Acura care for the tires, I'm fairly sure it will pay for itself. Low profiles and I don't seem to get along well!

$35.7K AND this included wheel/tire protection & CPO? Incredible deal, especially from a LI dealer

I have been through 2 rims and two tires and my wheel protection has paid for itself a few times over and the roads in Texas are not that bad. Both incidences were road debris.
