Your reviews are great, Steve. Look forward to watching every new one you put out!

[@DancinRandy54]

yessss!!!!! ive been waiting for this review steve!!!!! great review! i love the new rdx

[@stevehammes]

It's not the SH-AWD as before but in the snow and slippery conditions it felt very capable.

[@razorworks111]

How is the head space in the back? It seemed like your head was close to scraping the ceiling.

[@techdude6693]

My neighbor just bought a 2WD w/ Tech pack in Black. Its a nice car

[@76carmel]

I've heard some panning about Acura's CRV-like AWD system. I've noticed some foul weather in your testing, Steve. How did it work?

[@mterwill9]

I never said the zdx sold alot of units........ all i said is that it is certainly not boring to look at those cars turn heads like almost nothing else, and the TL does not compete with the 5 series or E-class, those vehicles start at a price higher than a a maxed out TL, and you cannot say they are boring Acura had to tone down the styling of it for 2012 because it was so radical looking

[@Brisk2124]

What about the MDX ?

[@brorowcarwiz]

Actually its a fantastic value in the segment.

[@bmwmsport11]

The rear end looks like the one found on the Santa Fe Sport.

[@stevehammes]

Fine. No problems.

[@yelp1000]

This is Acuras best car/value imo.

[@kei0kusanagi]

With me being Asian, short and small, a car is always a house for me, I never complain about how much room it has.

[@stevehammes]

Sorry but I'd say that's unlikely. The Transit and Transit Connect probably before too long.

[@davidhalifax]

I actually think the previous generation RDX looked better, but not the ones with the 'beak grille' though.

[@flexor212000]

I hate how you have to use high octane gas. I have a TSX and getting tired of it. Pushing me to a cheaper car. I guess that's a good thing?

[@DVDA83]

Acura needs to step it up and differentiate themselves. The class above has ran away from them and the class below has caught them. Innovate!

[@stevehammes]

...And the reason you're not is because you don't dig deep enough to get the accurate information. RDX models with the Technology Package are equipped with Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights for the low beams. Projector beam headlights are standard. Fog lights are also part of the Tech Package. Apology accepted.

[@stevehammes]

Spring

[@gheffty93]

I don't know, the interior and looks actually seem pretty cheap to me. also, no rear HVAC? The interior felt austere to me. I'd rather an Audi Q5.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

The only reason this v6 is better is because the turbo was hondas first and it was horrible! Massive turbo lag, horrible mpg...any engine would be better than that

[@mterwill9]

Come on steve when are you going to test the Koenigsegg Agera R? Step up your game! lol

[@cyclingzen]

i have to agree with you on NSX but zdx is a failure you know how many they sold in 2011? 1,564 thats it!! LOL not to mention the TL is also incredible boring compared to others in its class its no match for the BMW 5 series or 2014 Mercedes E-Class

[@flexor212000]

Apology. I have a 05 TSX "base" and even it has HID's. WTH Acura...

[@mterwill9]

so the Acura TL is boring? what about the ZDX? the NSX? yepp all boring

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Its still looks pretty bland! The rear has no chrome dual tipped exhaust...let alone any at all, the interior looks like every acura and nothing really stands out here. Its ashame as i love honda acura

[@cyclingzen]

i know right! how boring is the new passat! motortrend car of the year my ass

[@blacuraRL]

Looks dated already, and I'm saying that as an Acura fanboy.

[@DailyDriver.]

turbo was better

[@cyclingzen]

Boring typical of Honda in the last few years boring looking cars so conservative its understandable since their trying to turn a profit but still dont they have better designers?

[@kcirreb94]

40k overpriced

[@cyclingzen]

my point was it is boring look how many people actually bought it, hardly any because its a boring car and they toned down styling because their cars where so radically ugly.... LOL hardly anyone likes that upside triangle nose grill

[@L4TIn0St4NdUp]

You want boring? get a volks
