You should have compared the loaded crv vs the base model rdx. You compared it to the aspec. Thats not fair

You get basically most of the same stuff on the base RDX that you would get on the crv but the RDX is definitely gonna be built and feel better I can say because I own both

People say this and still drive a 2010 Civic. lol. The RDX looks great, it has things inspired from the NSX and still looks way better than most other SUVs. The 4Runner hasn't been redesigned since 2009 lol.

@@Dochorahan I think the current gen RDX looks good, but if you compare it to the MDX whose exterior has more straight streamline design, I'd say Acura should update the RDX.

The interior from the gauge and the dashboard puts me off honestly even tho I desire that car

@alexferrara9287 Ай бұрын

The exterior is honestly fine! It’s doesn’t look out of place in 2024 whatsoever. The interior (predominantly infotainment center) is a different story though. Not saying they should incorporate a full size screen going from one end to the other but, keep the essential physical buttons and minimize the amount of space they take up. Have the screen come closer to the driver and you’re golden. Other than that, the RDX is perfect. Sort of like Mazda, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Price as tested on the Acura was 55k, my Cr-v hybrid touring model(top), was 10k out the door cheaper. That, combined with 40+ mpg and regular gas vs premium for the Acura tips the scale in favor of the Honda, which also is blacked out, with nice leather and led lights, which looks sharp in the deep red.

@Buc_Stops_Here 13 күн бұрын

He says at the start he is comparing a luxury car to a non luxury car, then points out all the differences because it is a luxury car. I would love for him to try to do the same thing with the 2024 Mazda CX-5, a non luxury car with all the options he mentions in the Acura. That is far more impressive than this comparison.
