I wanted to express a very sincere thank you to all of the RLX owners on this forum and especially the RLX Sport Hybrid "beta testers". The honest, detailed and infinitely relevant information that you have shared has been invaluable to me in reaching a decision to purchase an RLX Sport Hybrid.
Regarding the purchase, to make a long story short, I took my wife's MDX in for an A1 Service two days ago, bumped into the sales manager...yada, yada, yada,... I picked up a new 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid this afternoon.
First driving impressions:
After reading the glowing reviews of the Sport Hybrid, my expectations were astronomical and the Sport Hybrid didn't disappoint. I've only driven the car for about 20 minutes, so my impressions are very preliminary, but the highlights so far are:
- The power is amazing (and I haven't pushed it yet)
- The HUD is the greatest thing ever
- I'm really going to love the Brake Hold
- I'm really going to love the Surround Camera (especially to keep the wheels from curb rash)
- I'm going to have to be VERY careful not to get speeding tickets because the car is so smooth and quiet, the speed just creeps up on you.
- The one thing I would single out as a surprise would be the transmission - the shifts are, in a word, perfect.
Thanks again to everyone for your help.
