    Every single infotainment system I've seen is always lacking because it knows that everybody is just going to default to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I've had this whip for like 6 weeks and barely use the infotainment outside of changing up some of the car settings like interior lighting. This car is amazing. A ton of fun to drive, it's safe, and looks soooo damn good. Other cars I looked at include the Audi Q5, Genesis GV70 and RAV4 Prime. I feel like I made the right choice.

    Is it just me or the RAV 4 drives terrible? It has a hard time accelerating and feels like its dragging or is that just Toyota in general?

    I just traded in my Audi SQ5 for an RDX Advance. The Audi had a v6 with tons of low end torque, and a 4400 pound towing capacity. 0-60 in 5.3. It drove on the ice and snow like a dream. People were skidding off the road and I was tracking straight. I loved that car for the first 60,000 miles. Then, things started to wear out. That is an expensive car to repair. My RDX is a great choice as its successor. So fat, very happy.

    I own an Acura and don’t agree aside from the RDX having a bit more horsepower. The Q5 has a better 8 speed transmission instead of the gear hunting 10 speed transmission in the RDX, a spare tire, and a more advanced instrument cluster for starters. And I personally do not like the all red gauges in the A-Spec.

    Great review! Just picked up 23 Aspec FWD couple weeks ago. Also looked at German makes, but believe RDX is best overall value when it comes to comfort, luxury, performance, features and driver engagement.

    Kudos for showing the performance capability of that engine as opposed to just going around the block at 50mph. Was there any acceleration hesitation noticeable in normal and comfort as opposed to sport mode?

    Great review! Aspec isn’t the top trim, Advance is. It goes Base, tech then Advance, Aspec can be added to any level. Just bought a 23 Advance Aspec. Has all the things you stated it was missing like auto wipers, 360 camera, auto bright lights. Can’t beat what you get with an Acura!

    Car has to be unlocked to open the gas door. If it opens without the key fob near then there is something wrong.

    This car has 2 fk no down side for me otherwise is a 100%buy for me. 1st gas paddle, break paddle, steering wheel feels like a cheap Honda or a toyota, too light. 2nd, the interior never changed since 2020 and feel pretty outdated compared to Benz, Lexus, and bmw. The interior for me just a hard pass, it does not feel like a luxury brand at all. So I went next door spent a bit more bought a Lexus RX f Sport. Btw the Mercedes has the best interior design out of all these BBAs and Lexus/Acura.
