Engine sounds
OK. Probably not what you were thinkinking. But one of the reasons I love the RDX is the engine noise. To remessintant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31JgMAHVeg0#t=51.926381

Awesome. ... Now have to watch those movies ... The only only good thing about being off sick from work is that you can watch these stuff without guilt ...

Glad you got a kick out of the link. I come from an era of muscle cars and the old saying "no replacement for the old displacement." In my younger years it was V-8 or nothing. Then came the V-6 but back then they were a POS unless highly modified. Anything I-4 was the biggest turn off for the longest time until I got my 2008 RDX. I loved my GEN1 RDX with the turbo I-4. Absolute blast to drive. Now I have the 2016 with the V-6 279 H.P. and, hence, the engine sounds so muscle car like again, my reason for initiating this post.

The Acura sedans sound much better. The SUVs have a plastic resonance sound IMO.

If you think the RDX sounds good, go and take out either a older MDX with the 3.7l or a newer MDX with the 3.5l. I had a few 2016 RDX loaners and they sounded alright, but for some reason the 2016 MDX loaner sounded like a beast compared to it and my old POS 3.7l MDX sounded amazing. But in all cases, MUCH better than the crap sounding engine in the 1G RDX (I had one too).

Wow. My screen name may indicate 1G RDX but I currently have a 2G 2016 RDX Advance. In any case, the first 1G turbo actually did sound pretty freaking awesome, but, what I was trying to get across is the 2G (especially 2016+) RDX engine sounds, reminiscences a muscle car engine. Plastic sounding? GMAB.

I'm glad you like the way the RDX sounds. Let's leave it at that.

So finally, there one sporty area that the 2G RDX is better than the 1G - exhaust sound. . Yeah.... keep going.
