Firstly thank you for having me as a new member. I live in South Jersey born and raised! Cut thru the chase, I needed and wanted to get something a little bigger and easier to get in and out of as I’ve been a coupe guy for the last 8-9 years.

After shopping 27 cars old, new , domestic and foreign. I settled on a 2014 RLX (Navi package). The car was me the moment I saw it! I did huge research on it as I’ve never seen many around or on the road. From research I understood why it wasn’t a big seller or otherwise but I still felt the car was for me and bought it.

While under warranty after purchase I got a front end alignment done with wheel alignment all around, I found a TSB for the steering column (it squeaked when adjusting from memory) and got it replaced with a new one. Everything else was replaced new and inspected before my purchase.

I am more than pleased with this car and really didn't understand why all the not so good reviews. To me this is a well built car with a very nice engine under the hood. I take off when needed no hesitation. Feels nice, fits like a glove (I'm 6'4"). It's very roomy front and back. The screens and info panel are set up nice to me.

My RLX is a head turner being a Pearl Black color with a nice stance. When I took it thru inspection the inspector didn't know what year it was and thought it was brand new. To this point everything is good.

I'm a first time Acura owner and hope to be able to pick some brains and share with the other members.

 

Welcome to Acurazine! 27 cars may be too many to list, however, I'm interested in what other models you were also considering. What previous cars did you have?

 

Thank you!

Some of the cars I was considering before I settled for the RLX;

Nissan Maxima '17 and up
Lexus 350 '14 and up
Acura TL SH-AWD '14 to'16
Buick LaCrosse '17 and up
Lincoln MKZ '15 to '18

Cars I've had prior;

Toyota Solara '05

Pontiac Grand Prix '84
