When Cars.com reviewer Joe Wiesenfelder calls the 2014 Acura RLX “enigmatic,” that means he’s puzzled to the point of speechlessness searching for the appropriate adjectives to summarize the luxury sedan. It’s sort of midsize, sort of full size; the Precision All-Wheel Steer system tightens turning, but not as well as competitors; interior quality is impressive but bland; a multiscreen media system aims to simplify but complicates. If defying description — and sometimes logic — is appealing, this $61,000 riddle might make sense. Watch the video and decide.
