Really looks good on the spec sheet. The styling looks cheap though, for whatever reason. The CX5 and CX9 look elegant and nice right now. This looks like Kia or Hyundai got ahold of it in the last part of design phase. The fender vent, the grill are my main complaints. The car does look...

I now have owned both, and timed both. The RDX is broken in, per Acura, and so I ran it, filmed the run, and looked at the times. From the time it began moving forward unti it broke 60 was 6.45 seconds. Throwing out the 1ft rollout, that is 6.15. The cx5, conversely, took 6.7 seconds to reach...

I realigned my priorities, you're right.

Maybe, but thus far I don't know what I'd get instead.

The 2022 looks better. Lots less going on up front than 2021.

The Mazda is 20% cheaper than the acura, and the Prime, depending on trim, runs from about 10% less than the Mazda after tax credit, to 10% more, after tax credit. With the Mazda, you get good reliability, and lots of interior features and a good engine. The transmission and suspension and awd...

I agree with you until this trim/model. It looks pretty good IMO, although obviously I'm biased. Thanks! Also of note, the headlights don't swivel or turn, but they pump out a HUGE band of light L to R vs. other vehicles I've driven, to the point that swiveling would kindof me redundant. I...

Its been nasty out, so not much. Still need to get it tinted and wrapped. I have an appointment on the 14th.

Weather here has been horrible with snow and freezing rain and temps in single digits, so my driving has been pretty sedate, even for vehicle break in (I break my vehicles in gradually over 1000mi, progressing from driving Mrs Daisy to WOT by 1K, as this is what my Z06 manual recommended, and...

Glad you caught that! I wonder if the stoopid amount of liquid legal meth I drink counteracts that with all the taurine and B12 and all that stuff in it?

You're absolutely correct. I was into the CX5, although I was not huge on the AWD system, it is pretty good, but the RDX was just a bit more, in every way. The SH-AWD, the adjustable dampers, etc. were what pushed me. Supposedly the rear windscreen issue is fixed. That said, Acura sells 50-60K...

Just an update to this thread. I would often check my cx5 turbo oil level. I noted a fuel like odor. I kindof wrote this off as "whatever". I now check my rav4 prime oil level, and there is NO fuel like odor. It stood out to me because it is so different. That said...is this a problem? Due to...

I think the lifetime fluid is fine. That said, we all fantasize about making it to half a million miles, and changing fluid isnt bad, if done early and regularly. This is why I try to buy vehicles with drain and fill capable transmissions, and it was a selling point for my RDX.

Yes, but a turbo cx5 is 3800#. How much will a 2.5L + battery pack tweener weigh? Im guessing 4500-4700.

This is a CX9 sized vehicle. I am frustrated by this. I wanted a 300bhp CX5, not a 300bhp CX9.

Toyos suck, man. They really do. I recommend just getting CC2's if this doesn't keep them fixed.

You're not wrong, they both posted total trash timeslips. That said, the Acura ran in the same conditions... I have a friend who is my roommate and he has a new sti. Stock it was trash. Cobb stage 2 and an intake and it woke up. That said, the RDX I drove made me smile, and there are plenty...

Me, too, but when I figured out the cx90 and cx70 were to be on the same chassis, that hope kindof evaporated. Think more MDX, the way its looking, imo. I was hoping for the same as you.

Own the vehicle for a few years. Seriously though, Switch the ignition ON. If the power window lock switch is in the unlock position, switch it to the lock position. Press and hold the front passenger's power window switch and rear left/right power window switches on the driver's door at...
