Congradulations. Looks very nice. Do the all weather mats fit good because in the 1 pic they look like they dont.

We just bought the exact year/color with the tech package. It's being shipped from Michigan and hope to have it on Tues.

Congrats on your new RDX. Also very happy to hear that you stayed with an Acura. We're upgrading from a 2004 BMW X3 and "my friends" at the beemer group aren't to happy.

you say "upgrading" from X3. why didnt you like your BMW? im considering another vehicle for next year (probably around late 2011 when we need another new car) - the X3 fits the bill for now, save for ? on reliability. otherwise, i might end up with another rdx or a tsx or even go with a subaru!

How does the RDX with the turbo and sh-awd compare to the TL?

The wife's RDX (with eibach springs) feels so much better on the curves with the sh-awd compared to my TSX with A-spec suspension and progress RSB. The RDX feels like it is rotating around curves compared to the TSX just pulling its rear end around.

Welcome to club turbo!

The X3 is a great car and we would have held onto it, "IF" the CPO wasn't about to expire. We thought about a 2010 X3, but with the new model out 2011, didn't want to buy something that was already old.

We've had it for 5 years and really trouble free, up to a few weeks ago. The evaporator coil went and needed to be replaced. Thank God it was covered under the CPO. Otherwise the cost was over $2000.

With the CPO expiring and at 80,000 miles, it was time to move on.

We did pay an extra $885 for the CPO to extend everything to 7 years/100,000 miles.

Congrats. I've had my 2011 for about 6 weeks now and love it. There are lots of toys to play with!

Thanks.

At the time I took the picture, the mats were not installed properly The carpet mats were underneath. Once I removed the carpet mats, I was able to attach the all weather mats properly.

Congrats on your new RDX as well. I love mine so far. I have owned Audi's and BMW's cars only and they drive great but always started to have issues. I have never had any issues with any of my Acura s.

I like the runnings boards and mud flaps.

Mine didn't come with either.
