Is the 2025 Acura ADX a BETTER turbocharged sport SUV than a BMW X1?

This, but with a RDX drivetrain would be pretty nice. Come on Type S.

I got my 2024 Integra A-Spect Tech CVT and absolutely love it! The 1.5L is surprisingly peppy but refined feeling, and the CVT is great too.. don't listen to all the CVT haters, they're stuck in 2013 when Nissan's horrible CVTs were going bad.

[@firemanprice]

Brought my 24 Aspec Tech in Aug last year. I traded in 2 months ago for my 25 Integra Type S. The CVT SUCKED, 6mt is the way to go to really enjoy the Integra. Unlike others who may not have owned this car I did and have. Yes the CVT is Pepe but the sound and feel of the CVT drove me crazy, I love the car though. If you can’t drive a Mt then your only options is a CVT.

[@kencai6803]

People don't realize Honda and Toyota CVTs are reliable, they been in the market for more than a decade now. People just assume all CVT are made by Nissan.

[@TheLaw_11]

If that makes you sleep better at night lol, keep deceiving yourself. Nothing great about a CVT! A true automatic transmission is the only acceptable transmission.

[@kencai6803]

@@TheLaw_11 Like what? They are smooth, reliable (except Nissan's), fuel saving, faster than the manual and old automatics, the only downside is they don't feel fast because they don't actually change gears (or say, they're too smooth).

Have a 2019 RDX - best vehicle I’ve ever had, and I’ve had Mercedes and still have a 2 series M240xi BMW. Looked at the 2025 RDX but it still looks virtually the same as my 2019 so why spend $30K to upgrade. In Canada only black or black/red interior - same as 6 years ago. Nice blue colour with grey interior available in US, but doesn’t come to Canada. Why not - they’re all built in the same factory? Thought the ADX might be a good replacement but the CVT kills it for me. How can a luxury brand go with the transmission much cheaper vehicles use? No thanks. Guess I’m going back to the German brands.

Finally, but real next step is more interior colours and exterior colours models with more power and hybrid system like in new prelude. I know for a fact many Hyundai kia sales is for colours especially by females or males who are not about love of vehicles. And to attract younger buyers who only care about customize and power is where Honda Acura is losing 📉
