Just bought one two months ago. It is the base SH-AWD trim with the Tech package. As is typical on SavageGeese, I found this review just about spot on with my experience so far and I totally agree with them on the overall Infotainment system remarks Two things: one you can control, one maybe you can't. 1. The infotainment system: You can ignore a lot of it after you realize how many options DON'T need your daily attention. I use Apple carPlay instead as I use Nav, and my phone only while driving. 2. My city/highway combined MPG is 23.5 MPG so far. If I use cruise control at 70mph, I'm getting 26.5 to 27mpg so far.

I honestly can't believe how you've managed such a steady stream of this high quality content. Loving it! You guys are the best...just please don't kill yourselves in the process.

I have the RDX 2020. For me what keeps me staying with Acura is 1) Fun to drive, 2) Top notch sound system and 3) Value. Shopping for other brands is an exercise on frustration: easy to get one of the three but not all three together. And it doesn't make sense, because these three demands of mine are not bizarre.... A car must be fun to drive, bring confidence, and few things come closer to Acura's SH-AWD. I can drive aggressively on rain, and I can't make it lose control. Next sound system... I get it, some people are musically deaf. But a car is the best place to pump up your songs I'm private and this space can be professionally designed, much better than your home audio, to make it sound like a studio, and that's what the ELS system does, without charging you $7000 extra for it. And value, yes please. $50K is no small money, and it shall be possible to get a great car that won't disappoint, but other brands just give you the badge for that price, inside is all very lame and standard unless you pay thousands more. I'm not as superficial to buy a car because it has a particular badge on the grille, I want to be proud of then whole thing, outside and inside. Awaiting to see what Acura will do with the Ultium EV platform. I hope they adapt the intelligence of the SH-AWD into the EV, and maintain this vision of great value.

Automotive mystery: When and why did gloss black become a thing on car interiors? I assume auto interior designer is not an easy job to get and they had to have tested this kind of thing before they ordered 100 billion trim panels waiting to be scratch/dust/finger print magnets, right?

I bought my 2020 RDX S-AWD in an Advance Package in 08/2019 and I love this car. I have averaged 23.0 in mixed driving (50 city / 50 hwy) since the first time I filled up this car after buying it from the dealership (I have an app on my iPhone to keep track of my mileage). On long highway trips, I average 26 mpg and 20-21 in city driving. I have no regrets buying this car at all.

Really insightful review, this is the 1st review I've seen touched the details of the audio, like the base level, good job on that!

After 4,000 miles on our 2022 A Spec Advanced your review pretty much reflects my experience. I have adapted pretty well to the infotainment system though the wife has not It is a joy to drive and very comfortable on long trips. Confidence inspiring handling. Looking forward to wee what Acura will do with the next gen RDX. Based on my experience with this ride, I am a fan

I've owned my '22 RDX SH-AWD A-Spec Advance just over 2 months and I love everything about it. Love the way it handles on the road whether in Comfort or Sport mode. I have no issues with the infotainment. I am not a young techie, but figured out how to maneuver around the True Touchpad in just a few days......it suits all of my needs. I wouldn't change anything about it. Love the exterior and interior design of the whole car. Too much bass in the sound system? NOT..... I wouldn't mind even more bass. I was raised a music aficionado. My dad taught us to appreciate music and recorded music should sound like live music. If there is bass in a song, you had better feel it when playing it on your sound system. I could not have imagined walking into a club back in the early 80's and hearing loud music on the dance floor that sounded like it was coming out of an AM radio. Mileage bad? Not as far as I am concerned. It is stated on the window sticker and no car out there gets what the sticker states. I have no issue with that. If you need something with better mileage, there are lots of far less priced cars out there to suit you. All around, I have no negative remarks to make about my RDX. I feel I have made a good choice with my purchase. I will say, I enjoyed watching your your review!

Great review. Thank you so much for taking a look at it. This is one of the cars I’m looking to get into by the end of the year.

Man this channel is so good glad i found it!

This car is much better than I would have expected. It looks excellent!

I have a 2019 SH-AWD base trim. It has everything I could want. Mastered the infotainment system very quickly and primarily use Apple car play. I like this set up better then a touch screen as I don’t have to look at the screen while driving, as wherever I touch on the pad correlates on the screen- it’s very simple. The RDX is designed for road trips and for whipping around suburbia and that is what it does well. I love this vehicle.

Still own my '19 RDX base SH-AWD and it's been so nice all around. I average 24 MPG but I hardly drive to work now, so that hasn't really been an issue for me. Nice review as always!

I spent the last 5 years driving a '18 WRX with a 6 speed manual and recently bought a used '21 base model RDX. So far I am really impressed with this Acura. The handling on narrow and twisty roads is nearly as good as the WRX. The base model RDX sound system is on a completely different level. While driving the RDX in comfort mode generally lacks engagement with the drivetrain, switching to sport mode improves things quite a bit. Compared to the WRX, everything on the RDX is more comfortable and plush (the ride, the seats, the road noise levels, etc.) Overall, I am really happy with the Acura. If I have any gripes, it's that the vinyl seats of the base model can get uncomfortably warm in the summer. In this regard, the cloth seats on the WRX offer much better natural ventilation. The RDX solves this on the upper trims with ventilated leather seating. Finally, as others have mentioned; the gas mileage isn't great, but if you can afford an RDX, you can probably also afford the gas.

I have a 21 and love it. It's true the swipey thing for CarPlay is not perfect, but it gets the job done. I echo your experience on fuel economy, but at least premium is only "recommended", not "required". (I've tested mpg with both grades and found no difference.) Overall the car just feels like it's built extremely well, back seat and cargo area are great for a small family, and it really is quick when you want it to be. I'm a dork so I like the wood trim in the Advance, but I may trade out for the cooler A Spec wheels eventually.

best car reviewer period. love the content!!

I love my 2022 Acura RDX A-spec SH-AWD. It does fantastic in the snow when I go skiing.

I have a 21 RDX A-Spec and I love it. Black with red interior 🔥

Both my parents have RDX's. a 2019 and a 2020 and they both love them. Great cars.

Don’t think a 4 turbo gets any better gas mileage than a 6 when driven in real world conditions. Throw in heat soak and turbo durability issues and to me at least the Passport drivetrain is more desirable than this turbo 4. Great review as always SG!

We got my wife a MDX Type S advance and it is very similar to the RDX. It drives like a much smaller suv and feels great to drive! I don’t mind driving her car even when my daily is a model 3 performance. Great review as always!

Love the RDX! Such a classic, sporty, SUV

Love the Smooth Jazz intro! It pairs well with the RDX. All the melody with none of the swing :)

The choice of music really completed this review. Though I have to check out some of the tracks seen on the infotainment.

Nice work guys…we own a 2020 RDX and all of this is true. Glad they improved noise too. I was shopping for a new ride for myself and almost bought another one but after trying hard in the wife’s RDX….the infotainment just kills me so I went with the 2022 Kia Sorento Xline SX prestige. While I love think the Acura drives better overall…the set up inside the Kia has better center stack with traditional shifter, better tech, better infotainment and screen, and captain passenger seats. MPG IS 23 and my HP is a bit better too. Dependability will be the deciding factor over time…but better warranty on the Kia and I’m pleased with it so far. One small issue I am disappointed with is the transmission vibration at under 5MPH. they say it improves but it’s a little unsettling..it feels like it will stall….but it’s how the dual wet clutch works I guess. Overall both cars make us a happy family……we are fortunate to have nice new cars. Thanks Mark and Jack.

I have a '21 RDX and mostly agree with everything Mark discussed. The build quality on mine is subpar (in my opinion). I had a few exterior trim pieces replaced because they were not installed correctly. The interior has some rattles/creaks. Interior fitment of some trim pieces is not great. Fuel economy is disappointing but not as bad as it was for Mark. Best I managed was 24.7mpg on a ~140mile highway drive. But a typical tank which is consists of around 50/50 city highway driving gets around 21 or so mpg. The transmission is super weird on cold start. Without going into details I'll just say I'm assuming that's an issue specific to me as well. While I would have preferred the GV70, I was already at the limit of my budget with the Acura. The infotainment is a non-issue for me because I never use any of the built in functions besides occasionally bluetooth audio. For everything else I use Carplay, and I try control everything through my phone (GPS/Music).

I've had this car since Feb 2022 and it's awesome! Very small nit picks to dislike, but mostly a great car! I got black leather with alcantara on ELITE A-SPEC (Canadian A-SPEC ADVANCE). Black is much better than two tone IMO.

I miss the good music from 1 or 2 months ago. But, I appreciate the consistently awesome reviews.

Hey Savage, really good and honest review. Thanks! I bought a used 2020 RDX A-Spec this year March and I find there are some things that I want to share if yall are considering buying one. 1. Size of the tank(Or its just too thristy? ), usually these things dont come up very often but I find the size of the gas tank pretty small. I constant needs to get gas and its kinda a annoying thing. I get about 12L/100km and I drive mostly city(about10% highway). 2. As you said, infotament, you can for sure get used to the touch pad but a touch screen would make this one of the best in the segment for sure. I use apple carplay and I find it's just kinda ok, I ll give it 6/10. Also, you have to get used to the true touch and apple car play touch difference, its true touch when you are in Acura's own pages, but it becomes a old scholl touch pad when it enters carplay. 3.This car can trick you thinking its way powerful than it is. So the torque from like 2k to 3.5k rpm is GREAT, which makes low speed passing people a breath. However, once you pass 4k rpm, you ll notice that the torque is kinda going down and you need to wait a bit to get the speed up. 4. Cooled seats works ok but not the best. 5. Second row floor is flat so its a thumb up for a AWD car. 6.there is a LOT of room underneath the trunk once you open up the lid and I find it really helpful. Thats about it and overall I love this car. I bought the car for 46,900CAD, 38,000km. At that price point I find its just too hard to find a competitor. Thanks guys!

I have the same RDX that you drove. The fuel economy is atrocious for a family SUV and I agree that Android Auto is lacking. Great review! Overall I would recommend this car to buyers for sure.

Its missing the J series 3.5 V6... now that was a great engine!

Another great review

Hey, great video, just like all of your others, please keep them coming. Now for my comment. I just took delivery of a RDX A-spec Advance. I placed the order in October, and it came in March. Prior to the purchase and after the order, I watched almost every video I could find on KZfaq reviewing it. You are the first reviewer to mention the fuel economy of the 4-cylinder. Try as hard as I can, I really can do no better than 22.5 mpg, and that is being very careful. Nobody else mentioned the mpg of the vehicle, and it is a drawback. The only other complaint I have is when you are just easing the gas pedal, it gets annoying listening to the transmission go through the first four gears: vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom. The only solution I've found is to just press into the gas, and accelerate through it, then ease back. The infotainment system isn't too bad, you can control most everything from the steering wheel, and those controls work great. Overall, the RDX is just a very nice place to be when performing my daily commute. It can go fast, but who really drives these SUV's that way??

I had one of these on loan from the dealership, and I managed over 32mpg by my own calculation, the car said 33. Granted, it was a non aspec fwd, but same engine. It was peppy as hell and the space was nice given the small footprint outside. The infotainment does take some getting used to. The touchpad is cool but I found it distracting. The screen quality and backup camera felt insanely nice though? Like I wouldn’t trade that for a competitors version that probably does away with all the physical controls

"...like putting Wall Street for green because for me I'm obsessed with money I've always been since I was in grade school when I was a star linebacker and then I went all pro as a badminton championship in third grade so I knew I was going to reach the pinnacle of life and that's what this makes me feel like." truer words have never been said.

There might be something wrong with your testers fuel consumption. I bought a used 2019, last year and over the 5-6000 miles we have averaged about 27-29 mpg on highway, and 21-22 mixed. If you took this on a roadtrip and you got that little, something must be up. Sidebar: your original review of this confirmed my willingness to purchase. It just does everything right if you want something that drives nice, is a little bit fun, and can do the daily chores without you completely falling asleep during the ownership experience. The 3 SUVs (in my eyes) that blend this together the best, (for this class) are the CX-5, the RDX, and Macan. The CX-5 is missing some things that the RDX does better, and the Macan drives better and is nicer but is $10-$15k more expensive. The RDX is the Goldilocks.

this was a great review!

Those cast suspension parts are something you won't see on any Lexus CUV which all use stamped components.

To your point about center console being a huge waste of space, I like the direction they've taken with the new Integra. It's a lot more pragmatic, although the UX for the console still needs work.

I purchased this exact one, but dark grey color. Everything about it is just perfect. I have owned BMWs and Audis before and I always had complaints about the seats not being very comfortable, no remote start (Audi) and a lot of plastic all around the cabin for the price point. This one is comfy in all aspects! It might not be the most luxurious but it was luxurious enough for my pocket, I picked a certified one for 44K that had 10K miles. Love almost everything about it and mind you, I like the touch pad, Els studio is phenomenal! However, back up camera and 360 is not what you would expect, screen resolution is poor and I get app lag for remote start. The big downside also is the fuel economy as I am putting 93 and still barely hitting 23mpg. Other than that, I enjoy everyday driving this machine.

My wife bought one last month in Advance trim, and we immediately took it on a 1100 mile road trip. Got a bit under 27 mpg on the highway (vs 28 EPA rating), then closer to 24 with two bikes added on a bike rack. I was expecting better, as my other car gets 32-34 with an EPA rating of 29. The passenger seat has the same controls as the driver, which is a plus compared to many others in the segment. The ventilated area of the seat is more narrow than in my other car, but works okay. Very pleasant and relaxing on a 500+ mile day. My wife's Galaxy S10 connects Android Auto wirelessly, but my Pixel 5 seems to have to be plugged in. Interior lighting is the worst of any car I have ever owned, in 46 years of ownership.

This is the most honest review of all I have watched so far. I own RDX and can completely agree with every statement made here. I personally am disappointed with it. Wouldn't buy another one.

Glad to see they repaved your test driving road

I have owned the 2022 Rdx a-space for 4 months and agree with you on everything, the only thing I am not happy with is when driving to the gas station.

One of the best in its class!! Hopefully Acura will have touchscreen infotainment, but still keeps the track pad

Great video! Thoughts on this with the advanced package?

I've owned a 2022 base Acura RDX since January. I absolutely love it! It is by far the best value in this segment. It comes loaded with a pano sunroof, heated seats, heated steering, SH AWD, remote start, power lift gate, adaptive cruise, and all the safety features you need. It is also one of the largest in the segment. The infotainment system is not great, but very usable. The fuel economy is a little disappointing for a 4 cylinder but that is about the only thing I can complain about. I would not pay more for the upper trims. The engine and transmission is the same in all so you are only getting mostly cosmetic changes which in my view are not worth the extra money. They just increase it by $1100 in Canada since I bought mine so if you are able to get the base trim I would jump at it before they make any more increases.

I came very close to pulling the trigger on an A Spec Advance. I just couldn't get used to the touch pad interface and I felt like it was a button cluster fuck in the console. It was also 53k and even though it was a real nice car it didn't feel like it was worth the money. I really could care less what people think of me based on the brand of car I drive. I ended up with a 22 Santa Fe Calligraphy and it was 8.5k less all in. The Santa Fe has 280hp and a dual clutch and really gets down the road. I also don't need to feed it premium. I am very happy with my choice.

2022 Acura RDX exterior looks good, inside could still use some fine tuning ... Slainte' ! Cheers !

Thanks, for the video and review. You , always do an excellent and thorough job. Love the color! Wish Mazda still had an awesome Blue to go with the Soul Red. As an owner of a 2019 CX-5 Signature, is this Acura RDX a big step up? Or, do you think the Mazda would compete with it? My average MPG is 22-24 city and 28-30 Interstate, using regular and with over 51,000 trouble free miles. Thanks again.

Great review as usual......i agree it's great mostly as a long time Acura owner but things like infotainment seem like it would bother me daily knowing they could have done better? Looks like its likely gonna be the GV70 whose overall everything seemed better and the new X3 is tempting if not for worrying about BMW problems.

Leave it to SavageGeese to give the straight scoop. Well Done.

I wish they had given this a Hybrid set up similar to the last Gen MDXHybrid. Besides that I love the RDX and prefer the pre facelift version of this. Hopefully for the new Gen they give it the TypeSHybrid

Thanks for the video and honest feedback. The fuel economy thing is not what I expected. In general, I love these new Acuras (TLX, RDX, MDX) and think they nailed in on most of the styling and the steering wheel area of interior. However, that center stack is a total mess on the RDX and TLX and would prevent me from buying for sure. I've owned Hondas for many years and know that they are solid vehicles that don't break down, so anyone buying these won't be disappointed from a reliability standpoint.

The bold blue color 💙- must be the mpg penalty cause! Front end is sweetest part of car. I'd purchase the GV70

Suspension in this vehicle is the real MVP , especially on the shitty roads here in PA.

This looks really good, AND,..it has enough room in the rear storage area for my shuttlecock collection.

My wife loved this car. Only issue was the gas. Other than that amazing car and sound. We had 2019. I wouldn’t mind getting into the 2023 like one you driving exsactly

I have the RDX in this Advance A-Spec Trim and it is awesome as a daily driver with two kids 5 and under. I agree that the biggest let down with this vehicle is fuel economy. The best that I've gotten doing mostly highway driving is about 23mpg. It's by far the most annoying thing about owning this vehicle. I've gotten used to the UI when toggling back and forth between vehicle use and Apply CarPlay but it is something you can live with. Fuel economy though, with 91octane prices these days was the biggest oversight on both Acura and myself as a consumer. Then again, didn't think fuel prices were going to jump this much when I had made this purchase in November of 2021. My wife and I were able to get orders in for 2 Tesla Model Y's early in the year and I'll be sad to trade this vehicle in (our Accord 2.0T Touring too, it's a great car). Acura has done such a great job managing their dealership experiences--NO markup on the vehicle when we purchased it. At the time, all my local Ford dealerships were marking up the Mach-E by $13-15K and most other vehicles we were interested in this size were being marked up similarly or had WAY less features for the pricepoint.

Real dual exhaust wow

Uh oh, blame the sub woofer on me. I have a 2020 RDX ASPEC. I complained that the radio sounded like a Radio Shack special at LOW volumes. When you are alone and you can ratchet it up, it’s awesome. At low volumes to me, it lacked loudness. Their answer, overpower the bass when they needed a “loudness” function!!!

Spacious interior. Solidly built (but not as solid as my previous MDX. The central stack moves a little when I push on it). Interior is not fancy - on the sparse side (just the way I like it). Strange giant knob in the middle of the control console. Seats are on the hard side but still good. Drive/ride is the perfect balance of control and comfort. ELS is fantastic. Lane keep assist is OK - I understand there are better ones out there. Mine has significant wind noise on the driver side at high speed (but not on the passenger side). Dealers could not fix.

Would a base Audi Q5 be better on gas mileage? Both of these are on my shopping list.

I’m considering either this or a GV70 as my first luxury car

sh-awd has been great since its inception, I have a 2007 mdx and I drive it like a race car around corners 😂

nickname for that vehicle should be Rusty Knuckles.

Just looked at a 2021 RDX over the weekend. The drive selector buttons were completely worn out and it only had 30k miles on it. The piano black plastic everywhere is terrible. Really didn't like the touch pad navigation for the infotainment that Acura and Lexus seem to love either. That being said, the driving experience was quiet, refined, handled well, had plenty of power, and the transmission performance was great. One interesting feature, was the car will detect oxidation on the brake rotors, and lightly apply the brakes when you start driving to shave that off. No idea how it detects that, and it seems kind of unnecessary to me, but interesting they implemented that. With gas being so expensive, and this thing requiring premium fuel, its a really hard sell when compared to the Mazda CX-5 or CX-50. IMO both of those feel equally premium in their top trims when compared to the RDX. They top out just under the base price for the RDX, and you can run 87 oct if you want. Really, really impressed with what Mazda has been able to achieve. Def cross shop the top trim Mazdas if you are looking for something like this.

I like Honda products. They understand their customers well and give you lots of value for the money.

I would say it sounds great for a 4-popper. ... Is that without fake engine noise? It does sound like it. I am not a pro at spotting cylinder layout and at first for a moment I thought that might be a V6. Seems to me like they tried to give it that sound characteristic through the exhaust system design.

At age 73 of comparative importance: Seats and seating position combined with tactile ergonomics 99...making the interface limitations of the infotainment system essentially a non issue. Appreciate the reviewer describing the strengths and weaknesses in terms of the benefits and limitations to the driver...in this way, it felt like the reviewer was talking to me.

Have a 2022 RDX A-Spec. Had a 2020 as well. The top end was reduced to ~ 115 mph from 125. Acceleration is OK but will easily get passed by many lesser powered vehicles like Honda Civic that tops out at 137. The RDX 160 mph speedometer is puzzling. Acura precision performance 😂.

This is perfect for the person who doesn't know much about cars or don't care.

My 2021 RDX SH-AWD Advanced gets 28.5 MP highway. I drive in comfort mode and usually go slightly over speed limit. I was surprised your MPG was only 22.

The type S version of this car is going to slap.

Mark. Legend. Human. 3rd grade badminton champion.

I'm glad you talked about the ridiculous center stack. The placement of the drive modes the push button gear selector and the touch pad are ridiculously placed. As nice as the exterior and the color is, I couldn't even consider the car. Saved $15k and bought a similarly equipped 22' Mazda CX-5 Turbo instead.

Since this car has a 10 speed transmission, would it benefit from Less gears or is it that they need to develop an eco mode and a sports mode? I dont need to have all the power available all the time, any thoughts?

What is this city pop gran turismo introduction you've blessed me with?

Love your reviews!! Always done with humor and honesty! Why do some suspension and drivetrain parts on these models rust so quickly? The ends of the CV joints and knuckles (7:04 in video) are completely corroded already. Might not be a bad thing but I'm thinking in time, for repairs, it may be problematic. thoughts?

Could you please do a review of the audi q4 etron awd

Thanks for your review. I really enjoy the center console design and the bass from the speakers are incredible. I do agree the lack of a touch screen is annoying and the TTI takes time to get used to.

Lol jokes on you losers I finally showed up early to a savagegeese video and NOW I can truly feel prepared to ask for that promotion at work to executive level janitor

I’d love for SavageGeese to do a review of the 2.5T Genesis GV70. I was so torn between the 22 RDX A spec Advance and a 2.5T Genesis GV70 Advanced. The ELS Studio 3D was excellent and the HUD was nice but, after months of deliberation, I opted to go with the Genesis GV70. The Genesis just blows away the RDX in interior quality, cabin noise, horsepower, infotainment, warranty, and “specialness”. The RDX is a dime a dozen where I live whereas there are almost no GV70. That being said I’d still love to hear SavageGeeses thoughts on the 2.5T Genesis.

I have a '21 TLX and the fuel economy on that is also really poor, you have to try really hard to get it to around 9.3l/100km on the highway. I don't understand the point of a 4 cyl turbo and a 10 speed transmission if we're getting the same fuel economy as the old V6's. When going 120km/h on the highway I sit at 2k rpm in 10th gear...what's the point? That's my only gripe with this gen TLX/RDX. The infotainment I don't mind at all, I use android auto and don't really fiddle much. The fuel economy needs to catch up to its competitors

When the Acura RDX started out it was great because it undercut the Audi Q5 in price and offered more reliability. But now the BMW X3 and Merc GLB 7-seater have price tags not too far off with beautiful ambient lighting interiors

Imagine Mazda had this transmission in the CX-5 with the 2.5T - would be super nice

That center stack and touch pad kill this for me

I build these at the ELP plant! 👍

Would you take the old J35 V6 over this 2.0t?

The 22 mpg seems like something is not right with the press unit. My BMW X3 with a 248hp 4-cylinder turbo does about 26 mpg when cruising at about 70-80 mph. One thing I noticed is a giant cavity where a spare would be usually, see 6:50 for example. That cannot be good for airflow.

I agree with Mark ... the interior is a nice place to be ... for about a year. My 2020 became a rattle trap after this amount of time. Numerous build quality issues that had to be rectified by the dealership and still, there are plenty of interior rattles that the dealer can't/won't fix. The A/C is also terrible in them. The air out of the vents blows cold, but the air doesn't circulate well at all and on sweltering days, the interior never gets comfortable. Also, I disagree about the seats. On shorter trips, they're great, but I've been on 200+ mile roadtrips and my lower back was screaming after it. No amount of adjustment would help. Gas mileage ... using 93 Octane and mixed driving with about 70% highway (~70MPH), I can't get it to go higher than 22MPG. I'm glad I bought this car when you could actually get a discount on them. I'd have been livid if I paid sticker (or over, in this crazy market) for one. Overall, I think this may be my most regrettable new car purchase of my life. YMMV.

I got the 2021 A-spec white pearl with no complains, although I feel like the features on the 2022 like wireless CarPlay and wireless charging should’ve been already in the 2021. Also, the rear bulb turning signal is horrible, no LED?

If I were buying a new Acura today I would probably skip the sh-awd with the 4 cyl turbo. Its a great system but if you’re buying it to be a daily the fwd will give you better mpgs and slightly better acceleration.

Sorry if I missed it but is there any news on Jack's Gr86

So the Wife and I purchased a 2021 A-Spec SH-AWD based on looks (Apex blue is gorgeous!) and the sporty nature of the platform... but we were shocked on how poor the fuel economy is (16 city 22 highway) and I hate the track pad mechanism. Yes it checks most of the boxes for us, but what a buzz kill with $6+ gas is here in CA... We now want a hybrid or an EV. We want to focus on the good but we humans seem to fixate on the bad.

Got a 21 AWD aspec. Gets like 17-18 mpg city, I nixed a Ridgeline because of the city mpg numbers. 22-23 highway, real calculations. But it is fun to corner for what it is.

22mpg is awful but I love that color

This 2021 Envision looks the part and smokes the Acura RDX in 30-50 mph, 50-70 mph and best the 60-0 mph stopping 15-feet shorter in Car & Driver testing. Such good price too!

4:46 Goodyear still makes the Eagle RS-A? Those came out more than 2 decades ago! I had them as original equipment on my 06 Mazda 3 and they were trash in every way except for warm/dry weather grip which was decent. Traction in light snow was so bad that they shouldn't have qualified as an all-season tire.

K20C4 makes 272HP and 280TQ wow. Didn't know they turned the K20 up that much from factory.
