How's the transmission? There were quirks in the RDX which I didn't like, specifically when you slowed down to a crawl, it stays in a higher gear and it took a longer split second than I would like to down shift and go.
The long hood thing is weird, it's a transverse layout right?

Yes 2.0t, only engine available at the moment
SH-AWD, in Canada you can't get FWD
rear seat is okay, tight about the same as Lexus IS or Infiniti Q50
depends on driving mode, in normal it seems to want to hold on to a higher gear but once you give it some throttle it downshifts and go. Not the fastest but not the slowest neither.

Questions for you
1. Would you buy this?
2. If yes, which package/trim would you pick, and options?
3. If you weren't to buy this, why?
4. Any recommendations / alternatives?
5. Is the interior the usual Acura interior in terms of materials?
I've always felt that Acura's interiors aren't the greatest when compared to say its Japanese counterparts, and definitely its European competitors, despite it being compared to them. I find that their interior materials don't age very well.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Are there Mugen and Spoon parts for it?  but not troll |
1) hmmm if you were someone that likes how card drives you would want to look into this. Comparing this to Q50 and IS this is far better.
2) Looking at the specs I would get the Tech package. It gives you everything you need without the glitter the a-spec has.
3) The only reason why I would consider something else is if I want something a bit bigger. For example the Accord with the 2.0t is faster and roomier front, rear and trunk space but it's not as engaging to drive.
4)Infiniit Q50/Lexus IS for your Japanese rivals, G70/Stinger for Korean, Ct5 and Tesla model 3 for American, Mercedes C-Class, BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 for German rivals
5)hmmm the door cards can be better, the upper trim feels a bit cheaper wished it was leather.

I get these cars for a week but even within the week the shifter is easy to get used to for owners it should be muscle memory in a few weeks.
