Congratulations!  Wait until the harsh upshifts start and the dealership says there is no cure.

That is the worst.  The Infotainment locking up and other electrical glitches are also there. Owners are wondering if the issues are abnormally high.

NormT, you must be new here.  As a general courtesy we don't :censor: on other peoples new rides*.  Like your mom probably should have told you "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".

*Unless that person bought an Aztec.  They're fair game.


Congrats on the new RDX Cadure.  Acura nailed this one.  It seems to combine the best of the first gen (sporty handling, good looks) with the best of the second gen (more size and refinement).  $15k (!!!!) cheaper than an X3 is insane.

It was good enough for Walter White , should be good enough for everyone

Congrats Cadure!

And I'm not sure what NormT said because I ignored him but judging from the comments, I'm guessing it was not very nice.

Congrats Cadure, great deal if it was 15k cheaper than the BMW. Should be long lived and dependable.

My SIL and her family were coming off an RDX and figured they'd get something different this time, but like cadure, after shopping, the new one was just too good to pass up, and the value equation was segment-leading.

The original RDX with the turbo 4 was a let down in many ways, and Acura has really worked to save the product.  The V-6 model and now this new turbo were/are really good.

P.S. not that it isn't tempting, but I would humbly suggest we resist the urge to feed the troll and just ignore him/her. They simply aren't worth our time or consideration.

I'll do a proper Show and Shine once the, ahem, snow stops falling but here is a quick pic to see that it exists and I am keeping the badges on.

Good Lord.  Congrats.  Nice looking rig.  Looking forward to the Show n Shine.
