Really like this car

I like almost everything about this car! It looks great, drives and rides with enough driver feedback to be on the sporty side but not so much as to be rough. The handling is great, even with front-wheel drive, lots of power at 280 HP and I get an average of 29 mpg in mixed driving. Only 2 small cons -- premium gas and a center-dash heads up display that you can hardly see in the sunlight. I'm intending on enjoying this car for a long time.

Most reliable car I've owned

This car is the bmw of acura. Drives better than any german car I drove before. The best thing this car has is the SH-AWD which enables you to take corners like a sport car. Also, this car is awesome in the snow, the car outperforms SUVs and other AWD cars.

Acura's are awesome!

This is the 3rd Acura I've owned and I just bought the fourth. They are extremely reliable, never break down, have luxury and performance figured out and are very reasonably priced! I would be hard pressed to ever buy another car brand. If you drive a BMW, Audi or Lexus... check out an Acura, test drive it and you'll see!

Great car for the price

I am very satisfied with this vehicle. It seems to be a dependable, stylish AWD vehicle. It is roomy on the inside, and has plenty of power for performance.

Beautiful inside and out

This is a well designed car with all the luxury amenities that you are looking for in a car with the reliability so you can spend your money on more important things. Just keep basic maintenance up on this car and this will ride forever. Navigation back-up camera heated and a/c seats what more do you need in a car. Seamless transmission double head cam keeps this car in the first of the pack - great acceleration to get you out of any tight spot. Ease to drive.
